AMD 9800X3D availability issue

HuLkY · 2024-12-16T07:37:35+0000

Hi All,
As per the thread header, this CPU is a so hot cookie to buy right now, didn't AMD see this coming? are they facing manufacturing issues? kind of a similar situation took place with 7800X3D before it was flooded all over and hit lowest offers round 330USD or Euros depending on where you're then it went up so bad due to 9800X3D being so rare, is AMD facing issues? are they making the market dry for it on purpose? even pre-orders are going above MSRP now at this rate! should the situation be better soon? AMD promised so with new X3D chips coming "Soon"? I don't know :/

AMD did not see this coming. They also didn't imagine arrow lake was going to flop as hard, and I think they thought Zen 5 would sell better overall.

That being said they don't have manufacturing issues afaik, and in true amd fashion they will flood the market right in time to miss the holidays.

Check your local MicroCenter, most have them in stock, or they restock them quickly when sold out.

I just checked the Denver store near me and they have twentyfive in stock right now. The Denver store has had them in stock off and on since launch day,.. they sell out quickly.

TSMC is the one who is solid booked, not AMD.

do you recommend waiting to buy one then? maybe by end of Jan 2025?!

This is just eye watering

I can't buy from it since I am not located in USA... but omfg, seeing it online for MSRP is just eye watering

for the X3D part you mean? other Zen5 parts are all over the place

Could have something to do with it being mostly better than the other Zen5 competition.

Shame, because I did. Posted this on the 31st October 2024 in the news article - AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D Allegedly Priced at $480:

"I can see this price tag going up a fair bit if they end up being kick ass CPU's and have no available stock as people will be on waiting lists etc".

9000 non 3D models sold like crap, so whether they saw the rush for the 9800X3D coming or not was irrelevant at that point. It's not like waiting and building up even bigger stock is a better idea when they have to move chips anyway.

Arrow is cold, and I guess Raptor is as well judging by amzn sales. That kind of low competition is rare these days.

Just because a company sees something coming, doesn't mean they can do something about it. At least they didn't launch the other 3D models at the same time.

I assume you're not in a rush to replace your 7800X3D, and perhaps you don't use that GPU with it?
