    So how does this work? Is stock limited at the start, price goes up steadily, then the market gets flooded with units and the price goes down? Or is this the cheapest it'll ever be kinda like a 4090 on release?

    • +3

      Honestly hard to say, I would say similar situation to the 4090 due to the immense success of the 7800X3D

      • not really, GPU's are much much harder to supply in bulk early on, this is generally not the case with CPU's. I expect supply will be quite abundant quickly.

    • The main thing different to gpu's, is that high end gpu's usually have a very limited supply when released. Where as cpu's generally always have decent to good levels of supply.

      Odds on prices will stay around 800-820 for a few weeks (with it going in and out of stock frequently), then we may see a few touch better black friday deals (maybe 750, with a low 700 possible from at least one store doing a 'crazy black friday' deal).

      It will then take a few months to get down to probably stablise around 650-700, then at best, it will hit $550-$600 in about a years time during next years black friday.

        No way any store does a black Friday deal for this cpu

          They will do stock of 1 sales to bait people into their sites

      9800X3D won't go down in price until they get sold second hand unless something is wrong with it.

    • If you're referring to "market gets flooded with units…", are you referring to the 5700X3D incident? I think that's a one-off case due to various factors. The end-of-life of AM4, buying an older platform brand new becomes increasingly more difficult as time goes on. Paired with an excess, oversupply of 7nm TSMC Zen3 3D Vcache chips produced during 2020, 2021, 2022.
      I don't think the high end is at risk of being flooded with chips but possibly the low end? 7600X3D also got silent launched recently

    • 7800x3d went down quite a bit, not to mention 5….

  • +1

    For anyone interested, everywhere is sold out (as far as I'm aware) except Shopping Express,
    https://www.shoppingexpress.com.au/buy/amd-ryzen-7-9800x3d-5…

    • Have you used this site before?

      • +2

        Yes, it's a fairly well known retailer, though not as big as the major pc retailers (mwave, pccg, computer alliance, umart, etc)

        I believe they only still have stock because they didn't post that they had stock til they sent out their promo email at 10.30am this morning.

        I didn't actually check shopping express last night, so I can't be sure if they had stock at midnight last night.

        Everywhere else sold out within the first 15mins after midnight, with only a few stores (umart/msy and computer alliance having stock til early morning). Umart/msy probably had stock til early morning because they didn't post their stock availability til at least 1.30am (I checked at midnight, 1am, and 2.30am). Computer Alliance was pretty prompt with their stock availability, and actually wasn't sold out for at least the first few hours after midnight.

        I used them for a CPU purchase 2 years ago. Had to RMA after a few months and I received my replacement fairly quickly. So from my n = 1 I can recommend them.

    • +2

      OOS there as well

      when im in a cherry picking competition but my opponent is Bludger

  • These dont have intergrated graphics do they?
    i.e want to build something now but hold out for 5000-series nvidia

    this is the non-box one, please pay attention guys.

    • It literally say's it has the retail box in the name of the item.

        TBF it kinda reads like “Works on contingency? No, money down!”

        • lol.

        • Need to be old to get all The Simpsons references these days

      I thought it meant: No HSF, Retail box. Basically, there is no CPU heatsink fan cooler included. It's still the retail box version (AMD doesn't include a CPU cooler for this CPU).

    • I imagine you wouldn't get the fan in the boxed one either though, box size is too small. Would think everyone would fit their own air/water cooler on this enthusiast chip?

      • None at this level come with a factory heatsink, Nobody would want to nerf a premium chip with a $2 basic extrusion heatsink.

      nice

  • Bought last night. Hope they'll ship the order in order :)

    jfc it's nearly double the price of what a 7800x3D was selling for on AliExpress

  • +1

    PCCase Gear was selling it last night for $799 too and I bought one and it is already showing shipped status. Kind of amusing to see that PCCase gear hiked the price up to 829 this morning saying - Please note a small price increase has been applied due to increased suppliers costs for faster supplier shipments (we want to get the stock here as soon as we can for you). I guess extra 30 is not that much instead of having to wait for few weeks.

    EDIT: Unless I am not making a mistake in my mind, I believe PLE last night was $829 at 12:01 AM.

    So what mobo+RAM combos are you guys using with this 9800X3D CPU ?

    • +1

      I've ordered a m-atx msi PRO B650M-A WiFi for $189 from amazon

    • Scorptec was running with $829 as well, but had free shipping on it I believe.

      I think CentreCom was the best deal at 799 with free shipping, but I'm pretty sure you would have needed to be on their paid club option to get it last night.

      I checked at 12.01 and it wasn't listed for normal members. Checked back at 12.45am, sold out. Not sure if they sold out prior to launch, because paid club get earlier access to deals apparently.

      It's $49, with $30 sign up voucher, and $10 bday vouchers each year. Ok for first year, not great after 1st year, imho.

  • PCCG had it for $799 yesterday and now selling it for $829 on backorder

  • +4

    Impressive, but nah, 5800X3D still performs well enough

  • serious question…what does intel do now to even get close to this?

    this thing is cool, uses 75W gaming and is significantly faster than anything else Intel has to offer in gaming regardless of price.

    • +3

      They cover their eyes and concentrate on the datacentre and government market where they still dominate.

    • There was rumors of Intel copying the 3d cache idea at some point.

      Really, that is their only option if they want to compete after this current generation, which is a flop for gaming.

  • Waiting for 9900x or 9950x discount… :(

  • +1

    What are the chances this will push the 7xxx series down in price?

    • +1

      high, if stock doesn't run out

    • +3

      Zero. 7800x3d went up in price lol

    • +3

      Besides Black Friday probably nothing signifigant.
      There is already a supply shortage due to everyone abandoning Intel and that will continue since it will still be popular at the price point.
      The shortage will improve now that there is a new king.

  • +1

    Still waiting on 9950x3d.
    If it DOES indeed come with dual X3D CCDs, I’m buying it then and there, lest the data centers end up buying it.

    • Last gen, the engineering samples that had 2 ccds performed worse than 1 ccd, which is why they went with only one 3d cached chip instead of 2 on the 7950x3d.

      But, with 2 ccds you have a more future proof cpu, and they may have fixed the performance loss issue. Maybe putting the cache underneath has helped with that as well, as there has been quite an uplift in some productivity apps, with the minor cpu frequency bump definitely not substantiating that its just that.

  • I'm puzzled. Wouldn't the 9900X @ $647 be a better deal?

    • +1

      Not for gaming wise.

      • How big a difference really? I have no idea

  • Is this a gaming cpu

    • +1

      It's the GOAT of gaming…
