I got a 5600x from amazon and it shipped also from somewhere else.. was sold by amazon too. Will you sell me your 5950x pretty please with sugar on top?FWIW, the 5950X I have coming in from Amazon didn’t even ship from an Amazon warehouse. I think it may have directly shipped from AMD or from their distributor. Seems like AMD might have not made enough of the 5950X’s in time for the launch allotment and their resellers may just be fulfilling orders through AMD’s distributor. And yes, I confirmed that my order is sold by Amazon.
It seems maybe a little tiny bit better but in the scheme of things, to the average customer, it's pretty much the same. I mean the day of and you couldn't get anything after 10 or 15 minutes. I think there's a lot more people looking for a video card than an AMD CPU right now. I've been trying since release, lots, just for the heck of it peeking on Newegg and stuff and I've even caught a couple of the combos in stock on a refresh and still can't get to the cart. I was refreshing sites before 6:00 a.m. and I couldn't get anything in a cart but the 5600x without errors. I just wish they would flipin' let you do a back order and be done with it. Or sell them for twice the price and you get half the money back if in 48 hours you show them a picture of the serial number installed in your computer. Maybe you have to buy it installed on a f****** motherboard anything to get rid of the scalper douchebags.I got my 5600x around 922am est, after I couldn't get a 5950 or 5900 anywhere and figured might as well pick something up for the time being. Could have bought the 5600x from multiple websites that day for the first 10 minutes or so, and from at least 2 of them until 922. The Nvidia cards were literally all gone at 9:00am +10 seconds from the 6 websites I had open trying to buy one at 3080 and 3090 launches. . .so yeah, not even remotely close availability wise.
With the sheer volume of products you can sell per minute on internet, I'd say there was an exponentially larger number of AMD chips available day 1.
With Nvidia's graphics cards, which not only involve the production of huge monolithic GPU dies that are subject to low yields, but also quite a bit of componentry in the card themselves and the time needed to assemble/build/test each card built, I would imagine the production of a CPU, once the foundry is up and cooking, to have far fewer hurdles to overcome (especially given AMD's unique chiplet approach to keeping die sizes in check). I see them being able to meet much higher volume production and quicker delivery times to market now that they are underway. Yes, demand is far outstripping supply just now, but I fully expect AMD's supply chain to start catching up to demand a LOT faster than the pickle that Nvidia is currently in. I'd be really surprised if you couldn't pick up any AMD 5000 series CPU you wanted by mid December. With Nvidia, they're already almost 3 months in the hole and have admitted it will most likely be next year before they are really able to start meeting demand.
Nothing. From my 9900k experience, I would recommend that you do NOT stop looking. I ended up finding one way faster than they actually receive them. I am hoping things are better this time but not holding my breathDid anyone talked to human being to b&h photo folks recently? Any updates when they will get their shipment?
Decided to try camping my local Micro Center again since the weather was freakishly warm for MN (65F!) Got there at 5:30am, first in line. Line started growing at 6am and was about 25 folks deep by 8am. Well, no luck. Manager came out about 30 min before they opened to inform all of us that they had not receive any Zen 3 / 5000 series cpus in their truck delivery for that morning. I asked if they’ve received any 5000 series stock since launch day and he said that they haven’t.
It seems launch day pretty much depleted everything. Has anyone found any stock at a brink and mortar elsewhere? I’ve seen zilch pop up on all the regular online sites. (Newegg, B&H, Amazon, BB, etc.)
Looks like Amazon drop shipped it, for sure. They had no info on the shipping method or actual delivery date. My 5950x is supposed to be here by Wednesday, via UPS Ground, aka the slowest shipper on the planet.FWIW, the 5950X I have coming in from Amazon didn’t even ship from an Amazon warehouse. I think it may have directly shipped from AMD or from their distributor.

That’s cool. Glad they sent out the email to notify me they were in stock (not). I checked Amazon at about 430 too. F u amazon (but I still love the 5% off with cc).5900x and 5600x available at Amazon right now.
Edit: And now out of stock. That lasted all of 6 minutes.
Minutes instead of seconds or instantly gone is probably a good sign, right ?That lasted all of 6 minutes.
I have like 2 orders with them , the guy says a few hundred , odds are still better than sitting here clicking on Amazon Newegg or Best buy I say. Most of us maybe looking at mid December to get this in our hands , Maybe . . .View attachment 297591
Someone posted this in a Stock Discord I was in, just FYI for B&H pre-orders.
