Unless you want them (3900X and 3950X) for workstations type of load, or you desperately need it (because of too much money to give for whatever reason), there is really little to no initiative to look for one.
My guess is yield rates must be rather terrible. Hence supply not getting any better. Though prices kill it, the real thing that kills it is supply, if AMD delivered me 1k units today at the official cost, we'd go out of our way to hit £479.99 and they'd be sold within a week, so when we have like only 100 or so of them and have had to pay over the odds to get them and know the product is short it all bumps the price up, end of the day were making 15%, people scream gouging, but in the overall scheme of things, 15% is nothing.
Thanks for this, I will install later!!
