I'm sitting here in Australia, watching the painfully slow drip feed of CPU's coming through. At this point I don't even have an ETA for my CPU, which I have paid for in full nearly three months ago now, and wanted to know what your experiences were. I'm also curious how this has played out depending on country, because here in Australia we traditionally get dicked over by tech companies in some way or another, and I am constantly seeing people in the states who didn't order on launch day but in the time since launch saying they already have theirs already, meanwhile launch day buyers in Australia are still waiting, with what looks like less that 500 CPU's coming in per shipment, and those shipments seeming to only happen once every 2 weeks at best.

In Germany the Zen3 CPUs are currently available, though prices range from 50 to 200€ above the manufacturer's suggested price. If I needed a 5950X and was ready to pay up to 950€, I could purchase it immediately.

You wouldn't be surprised when you received the item at full price three months ago without any update on delivery time.

I believe I'm fairly upset with AMD right now. Those who placed orders during the night—when it was 11pm at my place—should have received these before anyone else.

I purchased it for a friend about a month ago, or so it seemed to arrive after two days. It was only 50€ more than the regular price, so it didn’t stand out much compared to other online orders.

I haven't purchased anything yet, but I intend to, together with an extra 16GB of RAM and possibly a more efficient cooler, based on how the SpinQ++ performs.

It's not only their responsibility—it's mainly a result of all the issues working together to create the problems.

Europe currently offers dependable stock, meaning they've met their initial orders and now customers are purchasing today.
