UPDATE:
Wave 1 Stock: Due next week and sold out around 14:10 - 14:15 if you ordered before 14:15 you should have your CPU next week.
Wave 2 Stock: Due in about two weeks time, sold out around 14:45, if you ordered before 14:45 you should have your CPU this month.
Wave 3 Stock: Due in December, anyone who placed an order after 15:00 don't expect your CPU until December.
We will endeavour to push extremely hard to get stock in as soon as possible, as I say we have 10,000 units on back order, we have now pre sold over 1200 units.
Anyone placing an order now (15:30 onwards on November 7th) do not expect to receive your 9800X3D until December. We are pushing AMD very hard and are keeping them well informed of our pre-order totals.
We have limited sales to 1pc per customer!
UPDATE (26/11/2024):
First of all thank you to all of those who have patiently waited who were confident to pre-order with OcUK.
I have managed to pull some strings and as such on the 150 units we are expecting have just arrived and at end of this week we should also receive an additional 700 units, so that is 850 units this week, this will CLEAR ALL PRE-ORDERS. Now unfortunately since launch two things have happened, margin has increased at distribution (due to lack of supply) and the pound has weakened from 1.30 at launch down to 1.26 last week and this week, the result is we are losing money, but all the pre-orders shall be honoured at the purchase price.
Unfortunately new orders will have to be at a higher price, we are a business and as such need to make a profit and not a loss, as such the price has increased, until supply improves vastly the price won't come down much, we have tried to keep the increase minimal and as such priced it just above the 7800X3D which is also experiencing a major shortage at the moment.
We expect stock and supply to improve late January next year, as such the price with better supply, distribution will reduce margin and be more competitive, we can also hope the pound might pickup but I doubt this as Trump elect will further strengthen US economy and no doubt make the USD stronger against other currencies, but hopefully margins at distribution level will drop and if supply is ample we can also reduce margin as well.
Good work to all those who got one at MSRP, it is nearly 1500 of you, well done.
Once we have cleared the back orders we will consider putting the product back on the website and available to order.
DO NOT CALL CUSTOMER SERVICE FOR UPDATES OR CHANGING YOUR ORDER, JUST BE PATIENT AND WAIT PLEASE, YOU SHOULD GET YOUR ORDER THIS WEEK, ALL OF YOU WHO PRE-ORDERED.
UPDATE (11/12/2024):
Those who ordered pre 12 (midday) on November 28th should have their 9800X3D processor between Christmas and New Year, this may be delayed into early January.
Those who ordered after 12 (midday) on November 28th expect to get your CPU around mid-end January, potentially February. The delivery schedule will clear up more but for remainder of December very little is expected in December.
Next update will be January unless something changes, such as a large surprise delivery.
