So I see everyone is blaming flights for not getting stock in time.
Seeing competitors daily update section they expected 40 5800x by 9th of Nov, and they were still expecting those 40 yesterday. No info on 5900x and 5950x. 5600x saw 30 received an shipped last week.
Chickenegg in USA is sold out as well, same with amazing dot under com, with one scalping etailer asking some stupid money for the 5950x.
So if anyone tells me this was not a paper launch, I swear to Lisa Su and everything that is holy, I will ask Chuck Norris to roundkick that person

I wish people would stop throwing around this paper launch wording for any delay. Most of the retailers are stating the same logistics issues with the suppliers, which if true, would see a massive increase in stock from late next week.
Waiting 2 months and still not receiving your item (see Nvidia), is a paper launch. Waiting 2 weeks because of legitimate delays, not so much.
Absolutely, this isn't a paper launch, hundreds of thousands have shipped globally. We're seeing logistics issues, which given pandemic and ongoing disruption is hardly surprising. Backlogs are likely to clear in a few weeks.
OK, look at this this way:
Delays have been mentioned for the re-stock only. No one said anything for the initial launch day. Where did initial launch day stock come from? Why does launch day even need to rely on restock? The numbers quoted for the launch are ridiculously within paper launch description. So the plane bringing 1000 stock for UK for launch day made it here, but every other one has been shot down.
AMD knows they have winning product, they know that demand will be insane, why even release it like that especially when you have a risk of logistics issues for restocking.
P.S. if you hear a knock on a door, I believe it will be Chuck Norris
I think you added one extra 0 to that imaginary number.
So you are saying with all that availability, UK was the only country where planes could not cross the channel to get us decent numbers of products?
LOL we either have nothing available or we have too much, welcome to my world I ended up with 2x RTX 3090s... and so did other users ending up with more than they wanted. Just send back what you don't want or stick it on the members market to see if anyone wants it first at what you paid for it, give them a chance if its an item hard to get.
Thought I read somewhere 500,000 had shipped globally.

I dont buy into this logistics issue, After launch these CPU's would have already been in dispatch to world destinations long before the 5th, unless the wright brothers are flying them here 1 by 1 there is no excuse for the delays.
Another paper launch with little stock. and nothing in pipeline to replenish stocks is an abysmal situation for all on pre order. we are now 9 days after launch and still no stock in the UK or proposed replenished stock numbers available for pre order customers .
I expect the 6800 series to be the same, low stock and scalping heaven for etailers.

And yet, UK got how many on release?
Yeah I'll have quite a bit to list once I've finished the new build as I have a multitude of spare parts too get rid of.

I’m definitely not saying it was a good launch, but to be fair, this stock was supposed to land a day or two after launch, which would have helped a hell of lot. EVGA cards are facing the same issue with logistics delays.
There was 100% never going to be enough stock regardless. Increased demand because it’s new and more people are staying home, then you have to factor in that TSMC are producing for Apple, PS5, Xbox, Zen3 and RDNA2, which all launched recently - I’m amazed there was any stock.
Yes I'm in the same boat mate. Have a lot to start listing and tired of the time wasters saying they want stuff and then want it for free or less than I can sell it down at the high street trade place without the hassle of sending anything.
It will be a paper launch for quite some time when looking at the low restocking figures. Around 150 CPUs a week when averaged out.
300 x 5900x PIB now with sdd date of 24/11, 60 x 5950x pib with SDD date of 20/11 , 108 x 5600x mpk with sdd date of 26/11 . sorry its a mssive pain these keep slipping

EVGA cards are not even worth the hassle this time they cheeped out on a lot of components on this generations cards, this is coming from a guy that always goes for EVGA stuff first, they have been a let down on many levels.
Your talking utter drivel, it clearly wasn’t a paper launch as hundreds of thousands of people have the product.
Educate yourself on the impact on air freight due to there being next to no commercial passenger slights running. News flash they also take freight and capacity is well down at the moment with stuff like PPE which normally goes on a boat by the container load is taking priority.
People say there isn’t queues for things like the iPhone, there clearly is, go and order a pro max and you’ll not get one until December from Apple and they literally have entire planes contracted to them in the fall at a huge expense. A product like a retailer boxed CPU is really quite niche in comparison.
all this winging is just
Yea, EVGA are looking terrible at the moment especially for the premium that they’re charging, but some people are desperate.
AMD had only 15 5950x’s available at the purple shirt place in the high street for all of UK. Also no need for the rudeness, seriously it's just a cpu not the end of the world.

Exactly. but but supply issues and PPE or some such. None of that matters because the only thing relevant is we cant purchase a 5000 CPU for immediate delivery. Ergo paper launch.
@b0rn2sk8 is right about how air freight works by the way and certain items have taken priority with the covid issues, no passengers flying not a lot of freight then, planes don't make all their flight money just from passengers the cargo holds carry freight every flight to make the flights cheaper for passengers, without that flights would be much more expensive. Less passenger flights = less air freight.
