Are you ready for the 5900x launch day and have you secured yours?
Are you ready for the 5900x launch day and have you secured yours?
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.
It's not only their responsibility—it's mainly a result of all the issues working together to create the problems.
In the U.K. the 5800x and 500x are available, while globally the chips cost 50 to 100 more than the MSRP.
Europe currently offers dependable stock, meaning they've met their initial orders and now customers are purchasing today.
