AMD Zen 2 (Ryzen 3000) - *** NO COMPETITOR HINTING ***

[Alan1969]

This is my thinking too.

Me too.

Wonder what my chances will be driving to ocuk on Monday morning and walking out with a board and a 3900x?

I'll be in Staffordshire Saturday and Sunday night but stock may be limited.

Am I wrong in thinking that you'll be able to pre-order stuff from tomorrow?

I could have sworn I heard/read about July 1st having something to do with Zen 2 launch, such as motherboard & CPU's being up for pre-order.

EDIT:

Never mind, just saw the the above link to 'Gibbo' explaining the situation.

Really crappy of them....shady retail practices like this are unacceptable TBH. The only reason they're doing is it because they intend to gouge on the 7th and don't want any of their competitors to know by how much or they want to see how much others will try and gouge so they can put the prices at the same level.

..pretty much guarantees they've lost out on the £1K I was planning to spend on new CPU, Mobo & RAM.

..Even if they're the only one's with stock, I'd rather wait until the next stock up at other places, than reward such blatant greed.

i'll just buy it elsewhere if that's the case.

Where did AMD say pre-orders?
Nowhere has anyone provided proof of AMD saying Pre-orders tomorrow.

You've obviously never actually seen a CPU launch before. You're completely wrong.

I imagine pretty high unless stock's dire. But unless there's been reports of bad stock I wouldn't be worried.

Indeed, but given that pricing information and products are already announced I'm surprised that more retailers haven't been doing "unofficial" pre-orders.

I would assume that's down to AMD.

Yup, probably don't want to bite the hand that feeds them CPUs I guess.

I’m not worried about preordering, but I do think it would be decent of OCUK to give us advance warning of pricing.

We know what the price is in dollars, the important metric. We can roughly work it out on that.

they can do they can drop prices saturday which is still plenty of time for people to run the numbers before ordering sunday.

end of the day we know the us dollar prices so should be able to get a rough idea of how much it will cost. will a fiver either way make that much of a difference ?

You’re assuming they won’t be gouging.

 

[Participant]

I've got absolutely no problem with etailers gouging. They can do it whenever they like as far as I'm concerned. It shouldn't matter to most people.

 

[CAT-THE-FIFTH]

Retailers only price gouge, since they are counting on people being desperate enough to get new shiny to pay any price.

Why shouldn’t it matter?
