I'm a little bit confused regarding whats going on with B&H...
Mostly, don't order non-camera stuff from B&H

you're gonna LOVE the shit outta the 3960x..... trust me3960x popped up on Newegg like twice today, first 4:50am pst. The second, around 9:33am. This was a bit funny, once I saw the notification on my phone, I clicked the email link, out of stock; But then I saw the app notification was at like 9:45am. Opened the page in the app, IN STOCK, woot. Bought it. My paypal has been charged, waiting on shipping notification before killing B&H preorder. (Hindsight - page might have been cached)

I started looking at newegg to see if I can set up an alert and buy it there, and cancel my B&H order.
Looks like even Newegg is selling it for above MSRP... I'm not sure how I feel about that. I'm all for screwing over the scalpers, but in this scenario, Newegg becomes just another scalper.
Yes that is the right link. Good luck. Very keen to see TR results I don't think anyone has looked at this closely yet.is this the actual program to test the CCD's max speed from the thread above? anyone try using it yet? https://github.com/jedi95/BoostTester
Set up one of the chromium plugins that monitors webpage changes. It'll be faster than waiting for notification emails down tubes that everyone else gets...Huh. Are people actually getting the new Threadrippers? Or are they just able to pre-order?
I pre-ordered on B&H on the supposed launch day, at which point they were saying they'd ship on 12/6. I sent an email inquiring about an update today, and they told me 12/26 now.

Looks like this system won't get built in 2019 at this rate... I still need to order a motherboard and waterblock, and don't want to do so until I know I'm actually going to get the damned CPU, and the block needs to ship from Germany since everything is out of stock here.
Use distill web monitor extension for chrome, it works amazing.. will tell you immediately if anything changes on the webpage.. and you can select areas of the page for it to monitor so its not false alerting you all the time.
Are you looking for a certain one.... if not PPCS has a couple types in stock.and the block needs to ship from Germany since everything is out of stock here.

The numbers of batch are production year and week.I see in some Spanish forums that after week 35 of production the overclock potencial increase in some batch of this Ryzen 9 processors versus processors batch before 35 week . It is true how I can identify the week of production of my new 3900x.
Very nice.
At this point I'll probably just stick with my B&H pre-order. It's kind of frustrating that everyone else is getting their toys, and I'm not, but you know what, I paid MSRP and have a guaranteed place in line. I don't have to pay above MSRP and keep refreshing web-pages.
Annoying as hell that the ship date has slipped to 12/26 though...
BestBuy annoyed the hell out of me today but...I think their convoluted site assisted me.
They kept saying it was in stock and, when trying to choose the shipping for the order, it couldn't...Turns out I had to make sure it was being shipped to me not the store...Seems it may have affected others as well because once I figured that out I was able to get the order to go through...
I have an order confirmation number, order confirmation text, and an order confirmation email for a 3950X.
'bout damn time
Of course, it'll probably be cancelled because BBuy screwed up, lol
Hoping it arrives Monday...it's scheduled to, anyway
I'm a bit annoyed at the lack of motherboard availability. At this rate, B&H will probably ship before I find one that has builtin 10gbe.

Based on my past experience with B&H preordering, they tend to list something as in stock / shipping today on the site before shipping any preorders.
What does that mean?
I mean, if they are listing it while they are shipping pre-orders because they have more stock than they took pre-orders for, that is perfectly fine.
If it means new orders get priority over pre-orders, then it is absolute bullshit if true.
I'm not giving them an interest free loan of $1500 for a month, just so they can screw me over.
Now newegg has the 3950x at 899 lol, and still not in stock.
Someone at and should be fired for how bad stock has been though all 3xxx chips. If production was this bad they should have cut skus or bought more fab space. I think a lot of the problem is they are pushing these things to the max to get the bost clocks up.

Even Intel with their massive number of fabs can't keep up and are getting their ass'es kicked by AMD.
Of course GloFlo decided not to go 7nm, what geniuses that bunch are - they could have gotten everything they make sold, supposedly their 7nm was ready to go, just invest, equip one of their fabs or two.
Apple would probably used them as well.
Considering the lack of Fab capacity, I give credit to AMD on their pricing. I think they could have charged even more.
lol, Intel is shipping more because AMD can't get enough chips made. GloFlo would have been a great filler for a product line or two (maybe 7nm APU's and/or a GPU chip like the low end) allowing the higher value items made at TSMC. As for Apple I think they did consider GloFlo once but dump them since they would not be able to meet demand.They can't keep up, but they're still shipping an order of magnitude more. Let us know when AMD breaks 5% of the market, lol.
It's really that easy!
Talk about wishful thinking...
Realistically, they should have charged more, given the stock issues they're having with their higher-end SKUs. Either they charge more and keep it, or scalpers resell their products and keep the change.

Gloflo already had risk production which meant a number of tape outs must have occurred for 7nm, they were virtually there. EUV needed work for a later improvement and then 5nm so that customers had a future outlook. They already did the R&D, testing etc. then cut and run on 7nm - They even had additional fabs they bought from IBM ready to be upgraded. Anyways with the shortages of Fab capacity - this has to be a mistake by GloFlo is my take.
