Would like to get a new pc built for Xmas based around the AMD3950X, any idea when it will be available to purchase?

25th Nov is when it goes on sale worldwide.

Not sure on when it will be in stock, hopefully same day, but there have been some shortages of the 3900x, but it should be possible to place orders from 25th Nov I expect.

Do post up a topic on your prospective spec. Or if you want to hit the order button asap, you can amend orders, so can ask for feedback on the spec.

Even if you're super happy picking components, there can be quirks of the PCS configurators that lead to 'deals' being tucked away. e.g. the WD Black NVMe being the same price as the SX6000 the other day.

Rather than start a new thread... is there any update for when this will be released. I'm ready! lol Been waiting for weeks since I missed out on the 3900x weeks ago.

Please note that the following products are not currently in stock and will delay your order. Please select an alternative product:

AMD Ryzen 9 3950X 16 Core CPU (3.5GHz-4.7GHz/73MB CACHE/AM4) (ETA: 12-12-2019)


How many did PC Specialist order? It's out of stock already. Shambles!

This is one of the most awaited processors for an awfully long time. Supplies were warned to be low before release for everyone. We’ve had a lot of people planning a 3950x build. I’m not surprised at all. I think you’ll find there are shortages worldwide.

It was gone in less than 20 minutes, at best. There is no way to pre-order. It’s just all based on drumming refresh, and hoping you have the speed of selecting all your configuration changes without any mistakes. Next supply has an ETA for the 12th, which means it won’t be ready before Christmas. Shambolic.

I would really like to know if PC Specialist low balled the stock, or if they ordered everything they possibly could have. If the latter, then fair enough. It’s just way too quick to go OOS in my opinion.

You're not hearing what's being said.

These chips were in short supply from AMD, they haven't been able to produce enough for launch day because of the extreme demand around the globe. They warned when the chip was announced that stocks would be low. They will have allocated a certain stock allowance per distibutor and those will have allocated supplies to their customers. It's not a case that PCS can order thousands of these, they're being drip fed into the marked AROUND THE WORLD. Stocks are being controlled by suppliers.

When I say people have been planning builds, I mean we've had people on the forum planning a 3950x build since they were announced, so there has already been huge demand on the forums. I know you can't pre order, but what I'm saying is there are hundreds of people waiting for this chip.

I'm afraid you just have to suck it up and await AMD to meet demand which WILL take some time (took a year for the 10 series nVidia's). Same happened with the 10 series GeForce cards and 4th Gen Intel's. This isn't unusual for such a popular product.

Further: If you look at general UK stockist's they're all on back order as well. I've checked Scan and Ebuyer and I know full well it will be the same with the rest.

AGAIN, MOST AWAITED PROCESSOR IN ABOUT 8 YEARS
