AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D Stocks Vaporized in Retail, Being Scalped

[john_]

The 7600x3d is a defective 7800x3d. So as soon as the 7600x3d is sold out then only the 7800x3d will be available.

They probably have a number of CCDs that one or two cores are problematic or can't clock high enough. If by putting the X3D cache on them can warranty selling them at a better profit margin than what they get from the 7600X, I bet 7600X3D will remain in the market for a very long time.

7.8% yawn

It's much higher in productivity, so for someone who wants to have top gaming performance and as much better productivity as possible out of 8 cores, the 9800X3D is a much better option than the 7800X3D.

I think I will wait for the next one

You didn't need a graph to tell you that. Upgrading from one generation to the next is rarely worth it. And that's true for both CPUs and GPUs.

Ryzen 7 9800X3D: Wie viele CPUs gab es in Deutschland?

Nachdem viele Spieler beim Verkaufsstart des Ryzen 7 9800X3D leer ausgegangen sind, stellt sich die Frage: Wie viele CPUs gab es zum Start in Deutschland?

www.pcgameshardware.de

Seriöse Quellen wie Igor Wallossek von Igor's Lab bestätigen, dass hierzulande initial lediglich 3.000 CPUs zum Verkaufsstart bereitstanden.

Demnach hatten die drei deutschen Distributoren jeweils nur 1.000 CPUs zum Start vorrätig, welche zudem nicht nur ausschließlich für den Endkundenmarkt vorgesehen waren. Damit erklärt sich auch, weshalb auch die großen Einzelhändler wie Alternate oder Mindfactory bereits wenige Minuten nach dem Beginn der Verteilungskämpfe den vorläufigen Ausverkauf des Ryzen 7 9800X3D bekannt gegeben mussten.

I will loose translate it in my words.

There were only 3000 processors for germany available. Not all of those 3000 processors were sold to the end consumers.

Die Frage, ob die Erstverkaufsmenge tatsächlich bei "nur" 3.000 CPUs in ganz Deutschland liegt, kann aktuell nicht mit Gewissheit beantwortet werden.

Than you have that disclaimer. That the link from pcgameshardware.de is just clickbait in my point of view.

Loose translation from myself.

It's questionable if there really were only 3000 processors available for hole germany. No one really knows.

-- I checked even more shops. The processor does not exists in the search engine. Or is "on preorder" status. The shops which I trust and bought from. Not some hoax ebay seller or amazon marketplace or similar shop.

Upgrading from one generation to the next is rarely worth it.

That depends on the user. Im happy that i got rid of am4 5000 cpu for my am5 7000 cpu. Especially when you have a buggy intel wlan chip. buggy agesa. Upgrade costs. More nvme slots. Resale Value. Wait for a hardware bundle with acceptable price for a mainboard + cpu + free game.

Seriously, who cares? Buy it if you can find it a price that makes sense for you. Don't buy it otherwise. That's all there is to it.

Doesnt matter, consumer side still doesnt make alot of money for AMD. I understand that their Enterprise sales are increasing but the consumer side still deosnt make alot. The US economy is slowing down, that will slow down sales.

The Alley and every other handheld are still niche products. I have an Alley, some of my coworkers have an handheld, they tell me they rarely use it. Last time I use the Alley was months ago, I use my work laptop more, I use the laptop's 780m at work more than the Alley when I have down time at work. Why have another device in my work bag when this laptop can function for both. My son uses the Alley more than me but only on car rides, at home, he has a desktop.

What you forget is that there are essentially the same Chips.

Look at Gaming and see how high that is as part of the stack. Consumer side not making a lot of money is only seen that way because of how expensive Enterprise products are.

Does it matter that you don't use it? You still bought an Ally. I was in the same boat so they are selling and you we can call it niche now but Handheld Gaming Devices are not new. Even in 1980 I had Taito copies of DK and Pacman. What the Ally represents is the full desktop experience in a hand held form factor. There is literally no difference between the 8700G and the chip in the Ally in what matters. The popularity of AMD APUs has forced the price of the 8700G close to what the 7700X is where I live. I even saw earlier this year that the 7900X was only $20 more.

For things like this. It is a reason to befriend someone that works at a PC store in your area.

That was not a geometric mean BTW, just a regular arithmetic mean. Yeah, it is not as impressive as it first seems, especially considering the power usage of the 9800X3D vs the 7800X3D.

That said, the 7800X3D definitely needs a price cut as most people don't care about the power usage.

I saw 25+ in Dallas MicroCenter yesterday. I put my name on the list. Going this morning at opening time. Email states it will be held for 3 days.

Itsa BINGO!

I played the scalper ebay game during Captain Covid's last reign and payed ridiculous prices for a 5950X 16 core and a RTX3090 GPU. Now tariffs? Plan ahead y'all.
I nailed my 9800x3d when it was available. The goal is 9950X3D but it's not here yet. Somebody will buy a pre-owned 9800X3D, right? 5090 on the horizon, next...

 

[RaceT3ch]

Well, I was correct with predicting the 9800X3D selling out.
That innovative idea to move the cache did wonders for sales.

Nah the 9800 x3d will drop in price in a few months just like the 8700x3d did. Scalpers will be scalpers once AMD saturates the market with them they’ll be priced accordingly . I snagged my 8700x3d for $350 even with tariffs if you don’t need it now then wait

Hey dude, you misspelled 7800X3D twice. Are you okay?

I have met a duo of scalpers IRL. This was during the days of the RTX 30 series. They were very proud and openly bragging about how much money they'd made (not just scalping video cards). Note that they already had well-paying jobs. I guess these people see nothing wrong with destroying the market for fun.

Why are you mad at the scalpers when the retail store should have selling limits. The resellers only found a way to make extra money. Be mad at the store.

Eh, if you're a scalper, you create 100 accounts and order using different apartment/office numbers. Where there's a will, there's a way.
If you're looking for a problem, look at people that must have a CPU in the first month after its launch.

I know all about that. Not gonna lie.

 

[Athlonite]

Still plenty for sale here at retail/online stores here in New Zealand but I doubt they'll sell many at $919.00NZ ($539.82USD) fecking bucks

They told me how they got around the limits. I just wasn't going mention that part on a public forum but I guess it's common knowledge by now. They just coordinated and lined up with their relatives. Aunts and uncles, cousins, and even grandmas. Once they bought up all the stock they all came together and picked the next store. Not mad at anyone, I was extremely lucky and got mine at retail price.

 

[RaceT3ch]

Yea just checked my local seller and...

Jesus CHRIST, Zen 5 wasn't a big improvement but its selling as much as a 9900X?

 

[_roman_]

Some german outlet yesterday wrote that stocks will be back around xmas.

 

[Hxx]

I stick to my opinion. A paperlauch. A few pieces were sold to preorders. Nothing to purchase as of now in my area.

I don’t know where you’re located but In the US , there is / was plenty of stock. Even now if you live near a Microcenter store you are likely able to snag one

 

[Ruru]

Well, asking for extra isn't stupid, paying for that is.

I hope that people have learned from the graphics card scalpers, just don't support them.

yeah man -- the 3d chips ALWAYS outsell the non-3d stuff by massive amounts. Something that is a good workstation AND a good gaming chip is also going to draw the Intel crowd over...

Hopefully intel can get it's head out of a dark and smelly place and return with a proper chip, maybe even with some adamantium cache, otherwise we're in for the AMD FX era 2.0.
