PSA: No Ryzen 3000 Pre-orders Today (1st July), Spare Your F5 Key

I was seriously considering pre ordering because my motherboard died 3 months ago and I have been waiting for ryzen.
 
Just got off the phone with my local Best Buy in Washington and they said they'll have the following Ryzen 3000 CPUs on the 7th

- Ryzen 5 3600(X?)
- Ryzen 7 3700X

Dont know what they'll list for, but they said they'll have them on 7/7.
 
3700X is on JD.com in mainland China (no 3600, 3900X or anything else).

Currently 2419 RMB, which amounts to 351.57 USD.
 
Urgh, local CPU prices look like they'll suck...
5% VAT and an extra 10%+ to the middle man...

3200G US$118
3400G US$170
3600 US$231
3600X US$289
3700X US$379
3800X US$466
3900X US$578

Available 7/7 from 21:00 local time apparently.

Hi Bob, unfortunately it would seem AMD showed off the 5GHz parts to the motherboard makers, as I guess they expected it to leak, to help build the hype train, then they decided to launch something entirely different. I can only base my comments here on information I have at hand. There very much was a 5GHz part making the rounds in Taipei, but you can chose to believe that or not.

As was predicted by anybody with even half a brain, your "reputable sources" were just that, some empty words by you with no content and no evidence. You threw your arms up in the air back then, expecting all of us to abandon critical thinking and just randomly believe what you were saying (this is one example, where you concoct ridiculous stories). But you turned out to be wrong. Then you backpedaled. First it was "well their chips must be able to OC to 5 GHz". Then it was "they probably have a 5 GHz ready to be released at a later date". Now it's "they showed it to motherboards vendors only". Constant backpedalling for having your baseless claims proven wrong.

There is no 5 GHz part, and AMD has none. If they truly did, they would have released them; why let Intel keep having a noticable SC victory over them, like in games -- as the PCGH leak just showed? A 5 GHZ part would have turned that ~10% 9900K/8700K advantage to mere margins. It's further indication of the fact that a 5 GHz part does not exist.

What are you inferring with middle men?
