AMD’s Ryzen 9 3900X CPU which currently reigns supreme as the flagship offering of the 3rd Gen Ryzen lineup is facing a severe shortage across the globe and in all major retail outlets. The 12 core chip launched back in July at an introductory price of $499 US but you’d be lucky if you can find it now & for the same price.
The AMD Ryzen 9 3900X launched as the first 12 core processor on any mainstream platform to date. Offering an abundance of cores and threads for multi-tasking users, the chip for only $500 US was an incredible choice for those who wanted the extra core/thread performance at hand. However, since launch, the chip has seen price gouging due to higher demand & surprisingly low supply, something that we were told be our sources prior to launch.
Now three months after the launch of the processor, it faces an incredible shortage throughout the globe. Just going through major retailers, the chip is now selling for $799.99 US on Newegg, $829.99 US on Amazon and $799.99 US (plus $222.03 Additional Costs) on eBay. The chip was selling for a lower price on Micro Center but is no longer available and same is the case with the renowned German retailer, MindFactory, who don’t have the chip available anymore. There’s also a 1-2 week shipping delay depending on the retailer you get the product from.

Now Leonidas told me that, the 3950x was delayed because of clockspeed issues. Something already fixed on Ryzen......What Logic......I posted a thread the other day showing TSMC's struggles with keeping up with the 7nm demand, I clearly highlighted that to be the number 1 issue I saw AMD running into. Not being able to keep up with demand.....The reason why the 3950X was delayed has nothing to do with clocks.......It has everything to do with TSMC not being able to meet the high demand of these AMD chips..........
Thread about TSMC demand issues and 7nm production....
I swear I had a thread on that, looks like it disappeared...Anyway the link to TSMC 7nm production issues are here....
