how many people managed to get a ryzen 5000 cpu

To give scan credit their website held up well, with any of the 30 series you couldn't even get on the home page.

 

CCL was the best experience, I had the product page open and kept refreshing, as soon as add to cart popped up clicked it then was reserved for me for 15 minutes so even though getting through checkout was slow it was reassuring to know I have 15 minutes

Then the reviewer either wasn't using a controlled environment for testing, or was lying. The 5600X trades blows with the 10900K in gaming.

I hope so, I’m testing/comparing my 7 3700X to the 5600X tmr both will be overclocked

It did manage to stay up but it did go so a snail pace at times

I pre-ordered a 5900x through b&h, but after launch I checked my order and it was listed as backordered. I emailed b&h to see where I am fell in fulfillment and about how long they expected the wait to be. But of course, no response. Yet, anyway...

I would guess you'll get the shipping notice before they respond with your position in the queue.

That's what I was thinking too. But I also thought it wouldn't hurt to ask either. 

 

Having said that, it really doesn't bother me if it takes another week or two anyway. I have to build this new system from scratch. The only part I'm reusing is my ft02 silverstone case as I'm waiting for the alta s1 to be released. And before I can use the cpu, I'll need a new motherboard and the ones from asus and asrock I have been itching to take a look at haven't been released yet. 

 

I'm just worrying that it might turn into another nvidia fiasco and I'd have to wait months for one

Newegg sold out faster than I realized they were up, so I went to my local retailer (they're a chain big enough to have several locations), and they didn't even have it in their inventory system. I was told they'd arrive next week.

 

I'm really curious at how the supply will be on Newegg.

I seriously doubt it will. AMD has a far superior supply system, and lower demand.

That's what everyone says. And that's why I chose to pre-order it instead of trying to fight bots and other people the second after launch. But if that's true, I'd also have expected the pre-order to not go on back order.

Just got an email saying that it has been delayed due to stock evem though I ordered it as soon as it went live

I feel like Germany is doing very well with these releases lately. I managed to get my hand on a 5800x, as well as an RTX 3080 and a 3070...

Weird that other Markets are having such huge issues.

I was looking at the 2 R9s, so 0 stock online at any point for any canadian retailer (with the exception of a bug on the memex site). 

I tried at 6am PST to buy online, failed miserably, and went to line up after that. Was in line for a bit over 3 hours. 4th in line. Didn't get the single 5950x in the store, backordered one. Got the 5900x they had, though.

Wow, B&H just got back to me, in good time too. But they said it's a new product that isn't in stock yet... So I guess everyone who ordered one through B&H get a backorder message?

Most likely. They probably only opened up for a certain number of preorders, and then are asking for stock to cover it all x2 that way there is minimal delay, and AMD can gauge the amount of demand for new hardware, allowing them to have a much smoother RX 6000 launch. (which is MUCH higher profile than the CPUs)
