5900x backordered until March of 2021

[David1521]

Preordered a 5900x at 8:05am on November 5th launch day and it was then put on back order, and I just got this email from B&H Photo. Am I really going to have to wait that long?

 

Update: I gave them a call and they said that they don't know how much they'll get in each shipment and they get shipments every 2 weeks from AMD so it is possible that they may ship more in later shipments.

 

Update 2: 

I paid 550 plus tax, so yes, full price, but I won't be charged until it ships and I can cancel it anytime before then so I'll just wait until I if I can find it somewhere else sooner then I'll cancel my B&H order once it arrives from wherever I've potentially found it. 

 

I'm upgrading from a i7 6800k to a ryzen 5900x because of framerate dips to 80 in apex and fortnite when I want a consistent 240fps.

Well, if they say so, then  you'll probably have to wait that long. I'd cancel my order if I was you.

 

To be honest, this is starting to become rather funny.

That is insane, I too am waiting for the 5900x to come back into stock. However I did not preorder.

That is insane. You can still somewhat buy them here and from what the sites are telling is that they'll get a small shipment in next week and the week after of all amd cpu's but the 5800x as those are widely available.

id cancel the order...

I mean is it in my best interest to keep my place in line though? I cannot find them in stock anywhere else.

Might as well stay in line.

I guess it depends on what you paid.

It better be a good price.

I assume by a pre-order you paid full price?

 

I personally wouldn't pay for something over 4 months before I get it, unless it was a custom job of some sort.

 

I'd cancel and pick it up when it's back in stock somewhere else.  

 

Are you upgrading from that 6800K to a 12 core 3900X?  Why?

I pre-ordered 5900x in 3 shops and picked up 5800x that was available immediately, but one of the shops claims it just sent me my 5900x, so i am happy.

Everything was 3:02 - 3:03 on launch day (it was launching 3pm here in Poland).

So you prepaid for 3x 5900x's?  And then paid for a 5800x?

 

Huh?

[MightyUnit]

I find it hard to believe the 5900x will be back ordered till March. That either represents major demand, or major supply issues... or some variation of both

Well... yes

I am returning the 5800x and cancelling the rest of the 5900x orders now.

Cool, just made sure I understand what you were trying to get across.

Not seeing how you need 12 cores for Apex and Fortnite, is what I mean.  More cores don't just automatically mean better performance like that.  You'd be fine with a 5600x.

Because I can afford it and I want mo' power baby.

 

Would get a 5950x if it was in stock and didn't have less framerate in some games than a 5900x.

 

And 5900x can be overclocked more than a 5600x I believe.
