RYZEN 5000 SERIES NOW ONLINE - 5950X, 5900X, 5800X & 5600X COMING NOV 5TH AT 5PM **NO COMPETITORS**

[Mr Oblong]

Aye I'll just buy a 3000 series tbh if prices jump everywhere. Already a little high and with that happening not worth the performance difference.

Not a bad shout. The 5000 will have greater longevity for sure with that IPC lift, but at what cost?

 

[Deluxe1]

Looks like they've learnt nothing from the 3080 launch.

Sure they have learnt, get as much profit as possible

 

[Combat Fighter]

Yup. I had to try really hard to convince myself 750 was worth it for the 5950X. I’m not paying 800. At this point I will either shop elsewhere or simply wait for prices to drop.

Darn I really wanted to buy that 5950X. I’ve already bought a new motherboard and water block just waiting on the cpu.

£750 was already asking a lot. £800 is just plain greedy.

Overchargers UK strikes again!!!

I’ll just buy it elsewhere for £750.

 

[Hotwired]

I really don't understand the "need" to grab a CPU on launch day
...
Why not just wait a couple of weeks for detailed reviews and detailed benchmarks.

gotta have it

Gotta Have it

GOTTA HAVE IT



It's going to have launch bugs and cost extra but it's a fashion statement and gets you into those special benchmark, overclocking and owners threads early

 

[Shaolin Chicken]

Gibbo will have to update the first page of this thread with the new price .
Like @Combat Fighter said £750 is already high but £800 is a too much.

 

[MPowerph]

Honestly, I was waiting for this step with the price.... Shame...

 

[Shaolin Chicken]

I'll stick with my 6700k for as long as it takes for prices to become reasonable.
Not interested in paying over the odds for the lastest tech these days.

 

[RavenXXX2]

5950x must be in very limited quantity as the others have not been bumped up.

 

[crazy8s]

...yet

Just wait with it... Anyway, I wanted to buy it from here, but i am going to monitor the other retailers as well.

 

[CFC-420]

I wonder if this launch will be anything like Ampere

Yes will do.
Was in two minds about the 5950x anyway.
Think I'll wait for hopefully the 5700x to eventually release.

Ocuk price now dearer than the American price.

 

[Tensorflow]

@Gibbo can you explain why you have put your price up on the 5950X? It hasn’t even released yet!

Due to high demand i would imagine, another addition to the add, UK & Ireland only! but always an option to buy elsewhere of course.

 

[FredFlint]

Its the same every time, just wait 4-6 weeks and the price should settle back to rrp although it took longer last time. I ended up getting 3900X somewhere else, still had to pay over rrp

 

[Rom]

How can there be high demand, when no one can buy them?
Unless you mean high demand from retailers to amd?

I did read something saying prices arent set by amd, until they ship. So they might not know if they are going to pay 400 / 430 or whatever per unit.

Ive not seen anywhere taking orders yet? Maybe i just dont know the cool kids hangouts

 

[BUDFORCE]

I'm assuming OCUK won't actually have any yet, I mean physically in their warehouse?

I'd be interested to know when OCUK themselves get receipt of the chips, one would assume at least a few days if not longer before they are allowed to sell them?????

Might be nice to get some idea of numbers before release if such information could be made public?

I have a bad feeling though this is going to end up like the Nvidia 3xxx launch, I sincerely hope not.

 

[cliffy]

I do not understand the price jump on the 5950X when the other Zen3 products have stayed the same, can't use the old Dollar excuse for that. Lost my order i am afraid, will purchaser elsewhere

Like @Combat Fighter said £750 is already high but £800 is a too much.

Supprised people are moaning about a 50 quid increase on a £750 chip which is around a 7% hike, think of the people that are at the lower end of the market where buying a 6 core chip now costs £100 more which is nearly a 50% increase and these are the people with less cash to spare.

That's even before OCUK bumps it up to something ridiculous like £330.
