I guess the Xbox series X was a paper launch by that logic as well then?
Same for the PS5....
No one can buy one of those either even though they sold hundreds of thousands if not more than a million units word wide. Every game consuls launch in history must have been a paper launch then

There are lots of things that can't be bought for immediate delivery, your logic doesn't follow. Is it annoying that I am in a queue to buy a CPU? Of course, it would be nice not to have to wait. Is shipping half a million units to retailers a paper launch? I don't think so.
The important metric here will be how quickly AMD can fulfil their backorders over the next few weeks.

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
Keep your drivel to yourself! it was a paper launch simple as that, from what your saying AMD has CPU's stacked up ready for shipping which isn't true. Its another NV 3000 launch total disaster from AMD's point of view. increase the CPU cost on all SKU's by £1 and hire the transport planes to deliver the invisible millions AMD have waiting to be shipped.
it would stop the scalping and that £1 would seem a small price to pay considering. air line company's would love the business filling a plane with CPU's.

Whilst not wishing to wade in to the argument about a so called paper launch, the freight carried by passenger airlines has of course decreased, but the dedicated cargo carriers have seen an increase.
At Stansted, an additional 5677 tonnes of cargo passed through the airport in October alone.

I remember the days when companies would announce during their Earnings report, that they are building up the inventory for upcoming launch. But these days people are satisfied with ******** that are all the recent launches. Making excuses after excuses. And companies see that they can get away with this crap and continue doing it. After all "HUGE DEMAND" or "Unprecedented DEMAND" sounds so cool on the headlines
You can't expect 50 units we are being told to be expected, be put on cargo planes/ships?
I kid I kid, I need to go do some work, in order to afford the crap I will most likely get next year Like I said utter drivel, the issue isn’t the cost, there just isn’t any capacity on your mythical cargo planes. Just because you substitute reality with your own doesn’t make it true. Are you one of those people in the panic buying thread that suggesting Tesco should be able to magic up more delivery vans from nowhere to increase delivery capacity in lockdown?
It’s clearly not a 3080 launch scenario, that much is obvious, especially with their unrealistic RRP numbers. You can’t have ‘the biggest CPU launch ever’ and not have any stock.
I also like how you have redefined the term paper launch. There was a significant amount of stock available, they just sold it all.
Was the PS5 also a paper launch then...? That sold out just as quickly. Xbox too then I guess?

As i said keep your drivel to yourself, are you saying there are no aircraft available? 1 Cargo plane of CPU's would carry millions of them, several stops across Europe would eradicate the CPU demand. its not they cant hire a cargo plane, its the fact they don't have the CPU's to ship! therefore a PAPER launch as no supply.
So many planes sit idle at airports waiting to be hired. but invisible AMD production they cant load. I don't care about PlayStation and Xbox a lot more hardware and considerable more space required in any cargo plane. we are talking about so called stock AMD already have but seems no way to ship it out. as all the cargo planes
are full and the airlines don't want the business according to you.

Im going to introduce you to a magical item called.
"the box".
yea the box, boxed they would still carry far more than the pre orders across the EU. AMD dont have the stock boxed or not to fulfill the demand even if the planes were lined up ready. it was a paper launch, they created the scalping because they don't have stock, simple as that really.

Atleast they went to the dedicated gamers them days.
Half a million units is still only 1 CPU for every 15600 people.

By that definition you could have been talking about toilet paper not long ago.
It does make for a solid pun though.
Let's not forget they could fit more 5800x 5900x 5950x on a plane or ship if they actually cut the box down buy 3 quarters as they don't ship with coolers yet same pagaging. Not a very economic friendly move by amd there, maybe another indication launch was rushed using old shaped boxes??
At least we got to your definition of a paper launch ‘I didn’t get one on release day therefore it’s a paper launch’.
Please go and educate yourself on a global logistics instead of posting your fantasy reality on the internet.
Some of the conversation in this thread is the definition of first world problems. We’re literally in the middle of a global pandemic and your complaining about waiting a few weeks for a top of the line CPU which is frankly an utter luxury...

@PhilzR Where in Ireland? I talked to all shops I know and they are not available at all.
