Ryzen 5000 series more available than many feared
Source: Hardware Luxx added 06th Nov 2020Yesterday’s start of the Ryzen – 5000 – series only raised one question for interested buyers: I will too be able to buy such a processor? How good is the availability? Now after the sales start we now know: Anyone who wanted a processor has probably got one – at least those who tried to get one yesterday.
But this morning it doesn’t look that good anymore . If you take a look at the price comparison, you will only see three models here. The Ryzen 9 5900 X, probably one of the most popular models, is no longer listed. Only a few shops are mentioned for the other models and they obviously don’t have any available.
If you search manually, you will still find something here and there. In most cases, however, you will no longer be able to keep the recommended retail price, but have to accept a certain surcharge. In addition, the following applies: The high-end models Ryzen 9 5950 X and Ryzen 9 5900 X are slightly less available, the Ryzen 7 5800 X and Ryzen 5 5600 X can be found every now and then.
During the day you should keep an eye on the situation , because there is a good chance that some shops will receive supplies today, or that the inventory will be rebooked and processors will therefore be available again. So if you didn’t access it yesterday or could not do so for various reasons (or wanted to, first of all wanted to read the reviews in peace), you should get your chance today or in the coming days. In general, it cannot be assumed that a similar tense situation as with the GeForce RTX – 3000 – graphics cards will arise.
One A good source and resource on the availability of the processors is the “AMD Ryzen 5000 Availability and Talking Thread” thread.
Yesterday we were able to check out the Take a closer look at both models Ryzen 9 5900 X and Ryzen 5 5600 X. Also yesterday we received the samples for the Ryzen 9 5950 X and Ryzen 7 5800 X – the top model with 16 Cores and the eight-core, which should also be a popular model.
