Update on 7950X3D restocks from a competitor:

I'm afraid details are very minimal regarding any incoming units at the moment, one of the suppliers still state that they were due an allocation today.

Continues to be pretty ridiculous, lol.

Really does make you wonder how many 7800x3d's they'll send.

Biggest issue is that the 'gaming' reviews won't actually include games like Stellaris or Cities Skylines where tic rate is more important than FPS. The lack of proper testing for a much broader scope of gaming is a real shame.

As for getting one, probably no. Already have 5800X3D and will hold onto that until Zen 5 X3D at the earliest.

Amen to that. FPS is easy to measure. Tics and responsiveness, simulation speed - that's hard. And so they don't.

tomorrow marks a full month since I ordered my 50X3D, its getting annoying now, all my other parts are just sat here taking up space, all I've had so far is an email a week ago saying they don't have any in stock yet, like I couldn't figure that one out myself :rolleyes:

Same.. *sigh* I just placed an order on another site. Yesterday, their listing for the 7950X3D showed 'unavailable'. Today it showed 'available for backorder. Expected Apr 28'.

If the one I ordered on Feb 28 ships before then, I can cancel the second one. Hedging my bets here! :) It's pretty crazy that it's come to this...

Best part - the vendor for the second order doesn't charge the credit card until the order has shipped!

Does this go back ages? Remember when Battlefield 4 went with Mantle and none of the review sites could get there head around benching something which saw the biggest difference in unrepeatable multiplayer games?

I mean for the "unrepeatable" part we can't really blame reviewers, but even simple things like sorting charts by min FPS not average (like that Techspot TLOF review) many reviewers don't do. As for complex end-game simulation/strategy games, or what happens in Fallout 4 with a huge settlement - no reviewers cover that as it's too much work.

Put it a different way were the launch prices largely the same for the 7950/7900x3d? (Don't mention specifics or places).

there were variations on day one price from what I saw and we know from the 5800X3D that once the surge in demand becomes satisfied competitive pricing starts to come into play quite quickly, those patient will almost certainly get a better deal
