AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D still waiting on stock ? ?

[Deranger]

However, currently, I think it is more a case of them not being able to source the chips from their suppliers...it's strange that their suppliers can't source it yet non system builders can (they are in stock at places like Scan and Overclockers).

But as FoYI says above, PSC have never shown it as pre-orderable since it went out of stock, so I can't believe there's any queue of outstanding orders for them.

Yes, considering the way in which the date moves forward and your info it sounds like it is a sourcing issue. I just wondered if there was a queue of pre-orders/people phoning up and ordering to "reserve" items coming in. So appears since they do not do that it is down to low stock overall/not being sucked into buying overpriced chips.

It has just been frustrating deciding to upgrade my i9-7980XE/1080 Ti setup about a month after the 7800x3d "issue" started.
I will have another browse at the options. I just saw the new 9800x3d as a more expensive side grade (and also getting low stock) whereby I would be just using games and didn't want to muck about with the 3d core use.

Many thanks you two.

Don't forget the additional pressure that will come from Christmas orders

The 3D core is what made the 7800x3D the king of gaming chips and now the 9800x3D. You don't muck about with it as the system uses the 3D chiplet automatically. It's the 3D chiplet that makes these chips the best around:

I might have been getting mixed between the 9800 and the Ryzen 9 7900/7950 X3Ds (where I might havve read about the issue of making sure the gaming core is used correctly).

I've popped my system I am looking at as you said (Check my Rig) so will see what turns up.
I presume the 9800X3D is better than the 7800X3D and all comes down to the shortages and difference in (previous) cost. The "budget" (as in cheaper and older) one being far too popular and people avoiding the new 9s due to cost etc.

so, in gaming, you'd have to park one of them

Thanks, this was the situation I had been reading about and was just getting confused between the differing versions.

I have been staring at the order screen for a month or more. So will not be ordering this year possibly anyway (and would accept the delays due to Xmas) unless my 1080Ti dies or whatever is failing with my current system.

I am in no real rush other than that (and sort of wanted my games to look better, especially STALKER 2).
