AMD and NVIDIA products remain unavailable in new shipments.
I support regular restocking, otherwise it becomes problematic. Their production capacity seems limited, around 1,000 cards per month. If they don’t increase output, it’s concerning. They likely promised a large stock at launch but haven’t met that target yet. Now they’re just starting, so the amount available depends on their decisions and demand.
If they delayed a year, it would be wiser to avoid releasing anything at all. Around this time, rdna 3 and zen 5 are scheduled. Intel needs the 12th generation with a new chipset. Another way to prevent selling out is by raising prices—adding $100 or more would slow down the rush. This approach makes more sense than waiting another year.
Heard the figure was near 100,000 on day one, unclear if it covered just the US or global market. With the number of buyers worldwide—companies like nzxt and ibuypower placing orders for prebuilds—it moves quickly. Around 500 could represent a sample count of about 5950x for microcenter on the first day. They likely dispatched more than 500, possibly 5000 series units as samples to reviewers and motherboard vendors for testing. Photos show pallets of CPUs being unloaded from trucks at major suppliers such as Amazon and Newegg. I’m not sure the exact pallet count, but over 1000 seems safe.
I hope we can see the numbers. Like how many Newegg units got sold or purchased. I’m amazed how big companies sell products you can’t actually buy. I’ve been checking every day for AMD 5900, 5800, and the 3080. I haven’t found any of them on Newegg or Amazon. It’s been about four to five months since the 3080s appeared. I wish companies would share clear details so we understand their actions and why they didn’t have enough. I’m not asking for trade secrets, just some transparency—like they mentioned how many were made and what they’re aiming to sell by next year. Having some information would really help. Not knowing only makes things worse. I just need a specific date to wait instead of searching every day and hoping.
