AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D CPU Sales Surpass Entire Ryzen 9000 Series at German Retailer
Recent sales data (nicely complied by VideoCardz) from one of the largest German retailers, Mindfactory, has revealed that the AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D processor has achieved higher unit sales than all Ryzen 9000 processors combined. Despite its later market entry, the eight-core 9800X3D CPU has reached 8,650 units sold, surpassing the combined sales of the earlier-released standard Ryzen 9000 processors. For comparison, the entire non-X3D Ryzen 9000 lineup, including the Ryzen 9 9950X, 9900X, Ryzen 7 9700X, and Ryzen 5 9600X, has accumulated fewer total sales through the same retailer. The flagship Ryzen 9 9950X alone accounts for just 780 units, while the Ryzen 9 9900X and Ryzen 5 9600X have moved 810 and 890 units, respectively, while the second-best selling 9000 series SKU was Ryzen 7 9700X with 2,510 units sold. However, the 9800X3D's market performance still falls significantly short of its predecessor. The previous generation Ryzen 7 7800X3D maintains a massive lead with 78,420 units sold through the same retailer.
AMD is preparing to expand its X3D lineup with several new models. The six-core Ryzen 5 9600X3D is scheduled for release, along with 12-core Ryzen 9 9900X3D and 16-core Ryzen 9 9950X3D variants expected later this month. Based on previous generation sales patterns, where higher-core models saw lower adoption rates, these upcoming high-end processors may face similar market dynamics. Of course, these sales figures are only a part of the story as Mindfactory is only a single retailer across a diverse set of sellers, so the complete market picture is unknown to anyone but AMD. PC upgrade cycles are a common bottleneck in new CPU sales, especially as consumers don't tend to upgrade their PCs every year with new CPUs and platforms. We have to wait and see how the market adapts to new X3D SKUs, and if the Zen 5 X3D CPUs can reach the previous generation fame among consumers.

Like others, I made the "mistake" of ordering some other parts (which were shown as 'in stock' however) with the CPU so MF delayed the shipment quite a bit. They shipped it on 13/11 and I've been a happy 9800X3D owner since mid November :) .
That's when I could finally retire my degraded Intel 13900K crap and I sent the CPU off to RMA. Intel exchanged the CPU without any trouble and I sold the new RMA 13900K CPU on eBay for €334. BTW, credit where credit is due. Intel RMA was pretty fast thanks to DHL Express. It took about a week from opening the RMA case to new CPU on my desk with a weekend in between so it could have gone even faster with a bit of luck.
Had a small heart attack when I first installed the 9800X3D. I had actually first bought a 9700X and when I swapped it out for the 9800X3D I had a black screen on the first boot with a system shutdown after ~30 seconds each time.
I was cursing like a sailor but simply reassembling everything from scratch did the trick.
I'm not sure what it was. Maybe I put on the screws of my Alphacool Eisbaer 360 a tiny little bit too tight(?). You are supposed to only screw it on hand tight and use no tools... which I did, but I screwed it on a little tighter than the 9700X before. Maybe a tad too much? If so then either the 9800X3D or the AM5 socket on my ASUS ROG STRIX X870E-E is sensitive as fuck when it comes to the contact between the socket and CPU.
Anyway, it runs like a champ now and I'm probably not touching it for at least another two years or so, so it's all good ;) .
For instance my 7800X3D costed over 600 euro now i admit alot of it is taxes.
Now i know demand was big as the shop where i bought it sold in short time over 20k of this model
So black friday is not what we really have here in most cases your better of waiting til demand drops or when a new model gets released.I fear that is not going to happen i kinda never see offers of the so called tray sold cpu's anymore they are all in a fancy box with loads of ads and useless info, i miss the time you could get them without all the fuss and garbage :)
