Only other option is to drive 4 hours to get one. Never had a problem buying a cpu online

Well it all comes down to how bad you need that part. Then 4 hours ain't that bad if all are sold out .

As long as its reputable then online doesn't matter much. Arriving functional with warranty is what matters.

I'm sure there are other CPUs that fit your MOBO of choice.

there are cpu shortages. last 2 months 7800x3d has increased 40% in price too . and the 5800x3d has been out of stock.

i guess amd stopped production as they want you to get the 8000 and 9000 series cpus instead?

Newegg has a retailer who has some:

Yeah 7800X3d was more expensive than the 9950X a couple of weeks ago, I don't even know if they still manufacture it. I doubt they will be making more 5800X3d's but who knows. I'm suprised they let their flagship 9950X go out of stock after less than 2 months of it being released.

They are probably getting ready for 9000 series X3D launch.

[andreasaspenberg575]

not everywhere. komplett still have it in storage. not sure if you can order from them if you live in a different country however.

If you're only gaming, just get a 7800X3D, it's still the fastest gaming processor

It is also 600 bucks at least if you can find it. 9800X3D might be out at the start of next month so I might check that out.

Yeah, the 5800X3D has been sort of replaced by the 5700X3D, so although it's 5% to 10% slower than it, that would be the way to go now for those on AM4.

On AM5, The 7800X3D is likely to be "replaced" soon by the 9800X3D as well, although I expect that to have an MSRP of around $450, or at least high enough that the price reduced 7800X3D would have threatened it, so it's likely AMD limited supply of the 7800X3D so it doesn't stay as cheap as it was and make their new launch less relevant. Or, demand for the 7800X3D has just been higher than supply lately with the recent drama on Intel's side with the Raptor Lake issues. Who knows. Either way, supply is definitely not matching demand so up went the price.

The 9800X3D may then possibly go down in price 6 to 12+ months after it launches, like the 5800X3D and 7800X3D did. But that depends on the market. With LGA 1851 possibly being a single generation (like Haswell was, since Meteor Lake was cancelled on the desktop already and was mobile only), and since its performance is speculated as being underwhelming for gaming like Zen 5 was at first, it's possible the price doesn't move on the 9800X3D as much.

That's just a guess as to what I'm expecting though.
