I call shenanigans.

The TechRadar article points to this page : https://www.scan.co.uk/shops/amd/ryzen-5000-faqs

They show that they have 2,541 preorders and explain why people got put on backorder here:

What happened during the 5000 Series launch?
We went live at 2pm for the launch of the 5000 Series as planned. Demand was extremely high and the launch stock we had sold through extremely quickly making it the fastest selling CPU launch we have ever seen. This was echoed across all of the launch retailers. Unfortunately, due to this extreme demand there were a lot of customers in the basket phase when stock ran out resulting us having to move to pre-orders. We have added FAQs below to try to cover off the questions that we are being asked the most, and will add new FAQs as they arise. We are assured by AMD that stock coming through for the new CPUs will be significant so the wait time for current pre-orders should not be long. We ask that customers try not to contact our customer service team if they are happy to wait for their pre-order so that we can try to help those who wish to cancel or need help with other queries.

I got stuck in the basket. What happened to my order?
Due to the extreme demand there will have been a significant amount of people stuck in the basket at various stages. If you have received and order confirmation email then your transaction has completed. If you have NOT received an order confirmation email then unfortunately your order did not complete. There is a possibility that this could have happened during payment. If this is the case then the transaction will be reversed automatically.

When I purchased the CPU it was showing as ‘IN STOCK’ but now I have had a ‘PRE-ORDER’ notification email. Why is this?
Due to the amount of people trying to by the Ryzen 5000 series CPUs at the same time its possible that the item was showing ‘In Stock’ when you proceeded through to the basket. During that time the product has sold out but we have not been able to notify you clearly of this. For now you will have been put into a first come first served pre-order queue backed by our ‘Pre-order Price Promise’. We are sorry that you have been affected by this. We are currently in the process of developing a queue based checkout process to help minimise the issues we have seen on recent launches where demand has been significantly more than in previous years. Given these events are few and far between we know where to focus our improvements and we're making the needed changes.

Basically, the TechRadar article is pointing to a online seller trying to explain why their point of sale website screwed up and put people on backorder as proof that AMD had tons of stock.

The first article does the same.

That's just dishonest reporting there.

There are no sales numbers listed. They could have had all of 10 CPUs and put 2,500 people on backorder for all we know. It's not like B&H doesn't do the exact same thing here. And what exactly is the 'record' that they broke?

See, both of these articles really say nothing....

EDIT: Looking at the site they have had all of thirty 5600x's come in on the 10th~11th and shipped them out. That's it.

How is that not a paper launch again?

[Bitey]

local shops here have 5600x and 5800x

[Trunks0]

630 CAD is too much. They need to drop it to 399 USD which is the reasonable price for 25% more cores over the 5600x. Id be a buyer then tho cant get myself to choose a mobo...

I know... I'll probably end up grabbing a 3700x as the price performance ratio is way higher.

[LordHawkwind]

I'm waiting until the X470 bios comes out plus the price needs to come down as IMHO they're £50 too expensive.

Plus Scan are being a bit shifty as they're bundling the Zen 3's with Asus B550- F mobo's and 16gb ram for silly prices and allowing pre-orders for these with an ETA of 7-10 days. They have over 2,600 Zen 3 pre-orders unfilled but paid for but they have no ETA just a meaningless statement saying hopefully stock arriving soon. This has been a total schit show from both Nvidia and AMD and I'm sure the launch of the 6800's won't be any different.

These launches have certainly sowered my impressions of both companies for sure. If they want to claim demand outstripped supply then provide the number of SKU's available at launch. They won't do that as the stock would plummet if shareholders knew how little stock either really had.

Got a gay locally to keep one for me for Saturday pick up. Let’s see if this comes through. If it does then I am building a 5900X rig without any good reason.

Building a bitch slapper!

Doesn't matter if you OC the both of em, the 5600X remains the better CPU.

You should hear me speak. Demo understands what I'm talking about.

So my little Auto Refresh Plus dinged today on Amazon.

In the 3 seconds that I had taken to switch over to that page I tried unsuccessfully to put one in my cart. But I did see that they were taking orders for parts shipping out Jan 25...



By the way, whatever parts they were taking orders for were gone in seconds.

[Riptide]

Yah, I'm not sure how people are able to do it. Just like the ones that got a 3080 on launch day. Typically, if there is an opportunity, I can't even get anything in the cart and it's gone in less than a minute.

I'm amazed I got the 3090 like I did on launch day. Maybe this just boils down to blind luck.

[Nunz]

There's no stock issues!!!

[Riptide]

There's no stock issues!!!

lol

There are HUGE stock issues, everyone knows it, and if you think otherwise I have no idea how you can arrive at that conclusion. They are not even close to meeting demand, and I'm worried it's going to be March before you can actually get one without camping F5 and discord.

[MangaSpawn64]

There's no stock issues!!!

My local shop got literally zero stock available from their suppliers and it was showing that they would get their orders at the end of the month.

[KAC]

Gays gays gays. I was able to purchase a 5800x on launch, a 5800x one day after launch and have a 5600x on order for December delivery. There are no stock issues. AMD saved us all.

[Nunz]

I was being sarcastic.

[KAC]

Nunz why aren't you building a AMD 5950 rig?

[Nunz]

There's no point in going to another DDR4 platform that I'd need to re-buy RAM for. I'm super interested in the 5950X and I think I'd get a 10-15% increase over my 9900K, but for the money it would cost, it's not worth it.

I will be buying AM5 next year when the big platform change happens. We are seeing RAM become a bottleneck now that processors are becoming so fast not only in IPC, but also in thread count; the difference between 3200CL16 crap RAM and tweaked 3600-3800 is quite large now.

DDR5 will open these chips up even more, and I think that will be an upgrade worth jumping into. Zen3 just makes me chomp at the bit for Zen4 next year even more

[pax]

Ya but ddr5 at first wont be that fast... and pricey as all hell. Itll probably be a gen or 2 down the road before ddr5 gets us that amazing 8400 mhz speeds they talked about and at good timings.

[Nunz]

DDR5 first shot will be faster than DDR4 4400, for sure. I can't see it being slower than that. 8400Mhz is a while out, sure, but there's a huge gap between the normal frequencies of DDR4, anywhere from 3200-3800, and 8400.

Those 4200-4400 DDR4 kits are already pricey as hell, so the cost of DDR5 isn't that big of a deal. Sure, you can grab a b-die 3800cl15 kit for a decent price and hope you got a good bin to push to 4200+.. but not really comparable.

[KAC]

If the gay comes through w/ a 5900X today I will build an AMD rig because I have gone crazy. If that doesn't happen I may end up cancelling the 5600X as well. I don't want another 6 core CPU. I am already on my second one.

[andino]

I have thought really hard about going the 5950x route as well. I do some encoding and in that task it's 2 times as fast as the 9900k. Gaming is roughly the same if not 5% faster. I am just having a hard time rationalizing spending $1500~$2000 on a new system for that.

I really was gungho about going that route. Now, I'm backing off a bit.

[KAC]

Gay said 5900X not available. Guess I am not building a rig in 2020. Thinking about picking up that Samsung 32 inch monitor.

[Riptide]

The amazon bot worked, and I have a preorder in for a 5600X. Ships dec 4th. So I will at least get something anyway.

Still interested in a 5800/5900/5950 though, so if I manage to get one on order before dec 4th I'll cancel the 5600X order.

[Nascar24]

Will just be sticking with my antonline 5900X preorder, if they do get stock I should get it early December.

[Riptide]

After re-watching the HU review for the 5600X, it makes a strong case for a gaming and general use. There were only a couple games that benefited from higher core count and even then if you're running 4k it will probably nullify most if not all of that advantage on those higher core count parts.

It seems as well, that it handily beats down the 3950X even in the games that did show a benefit from the higher core count. To me that seems very impressive.

The amazon bot is still running trying to get a 5800/5900/5950 but at this point I may need to rethink whether I want to essentially throw money away for one of those parts.

[Nunz]

I would go with a 5800/5900X at a minimum. The 5600X is great for what it is, but for a high-end gaming PC I think the 5800X is the cut-off if you're grabbing a new Ryzen. Longevity >

I want to see someone do the insane memory tweaking on a 5950X to see if the chip benefits more from the mem performance than the lower core-count Ryzen's do.

[KAC]

Yes I want to keep the PC for at least two years and anything less than a 5900X is just not going to cut it for me. So either I grab a 5900X or I skip this and wait for RKL timeframe to build whatever makes sense.

I am definitely not waking up to buy a CPU like I did for graphics cards.

[LordHawkwind]

You can still buy the 3090 in the UK if you want for about £1,600 but not a lot of people appear interested. It's not even on preorder at some retailers. Over priced POS TBH compared to the 3080, it's great for creators with 24gb ram but for gamers nah. Each to their own I guess.

[MangaSpawn64]

Keeping my PC for at least 5 years, which is why I'm going with a 5900X / 3080 combo with 32 Gb ram. Can't wait ! Already got the 3080

[Nascar24]

Hell at least there were regular in Stock drops for the GPU's, Only thing that is dropping for their CPU's is way out preorders.

[KAC]

When I say this people claim it is only 1.5 weeks so don’t judge AMD. What a bunch of dumbasses. I can build a 5600x or 5800x today but can’t find the 5900x.

[KAC]

Damn 5600x available locally for 380 boners and 5800x available for about 550.

[CyanBlues]

I'm assuming the next big shipment will probably take place during 6800 release

[KAC]

I was checking the receipt on my 8086K build and I only built it two years ago in September 2018. That would be quite possibly the earliest I switched out a board/proc combo in my history of building PCs if I go ahead and bone a Ryzen before next year September
