Alder Lake

When Zen 2 came out, I almost bought one. Then news came out about upcoming Zen 3 IPC increase and I decided to wait another year. Initial rumors, full year before Zen 3 launch were on the spot, and even surpassed because clock speeds also grew unexpectedly. All together I'm a happy camper

But if I was still waiting for Zen 3 to come in stock, I would skip it again (on non-AM4 Skylake system for time being)
AMD will deliver, thats for sure
 
I'll look forward to the around £400 6 core 6600/x ;)

I get the feeling we will have another round of price fixing/gouging with DDR5 to spoil things.

When will they deliver normal supply of the Ryzen 5000 series in the retail?

Ryzen 6000 will also be a paper launch most likely.

Poor AMD, not able to afford their own fabs means they have to beg for scraps from TSMC. Really sad fact, they have great designs, they just don't have enough wafers to make enough CPU's to satisfy demand. Sigh.

AMD are TSMCs largest customer, they just have so many things going on.
Intel can't get off their 14nm node, and haven't so they are seeking samsung to build additional fabs to save their future.
no one has sufficient demand currently, not amd gfx, not nvidia gfx, not amd cpu, not amd xbox, or amd ps5.
Intel might have, but they saw constraint issues also last year to to awful yields even in their mature 14nm.

I am not convinced you have much of clue about anything you Ryan Shrout about.

TSMC sell to the highest bidder. AMD want more wafers, yet can't buy them, as they're in such demand.

Guess what? Intel will also buy wafers from TSMC from now on. This will mean even less wafers for AMD, not looking good for supply at all :(
