Description:
The situation around Ryzen 9800X3D stock appears to be very shaky, with scalpers again causing misery for genuine buyers.

FULL STORY ======================================================================Ryzen 9800X3D has sold out everywhere, including a big German retailer That retailer, MindFactory, had a fair bit of initial stock, but its all gone The restock estimate from MindFactory is the end of December, worryingly

AMDs Ryzen 9800X3D has been very well-received , but the problem with the
CPU is that keen PC gamers who want to buy the chip arent able to amidst scalping woes and if a new rumor is right, they could be waiting for quite some time for an opportunity to pull the trigger on a purchase.

Many retailers went out of stock of the Ryzen 9800X3D pretty much
straightaway when the processor hit the shelves certainly online, anyway although one major German retailer, MindFactory, appeared to have a good amount of stock initially .

Not anymore, though, because as VideoCardz spotted, MindFactory has now sold out of the new Ryzen CPU.

The retailer still has pre-orders open, but the expected delivery date for
the Ryzen 9800X3D is, worryingly enough, the end of December 2024. In other words, the year might be almost over before a restock takes place at MindFactory, and if thats the case for a big European retailer, could it be true more broadly?

How is stock for the Ryzen 9800X3D faring in general, then? Very badly. With US retailers, the CPU isnt available at all currently (some have even dropped the listing for the Ryzen 9800X3D).

In the UK, its the same story, though Toms Hardware noticed a couple of retailers apparently picking up a little stock yesterday (November 11). Weve just checked and thats gone, though, unsurprisingly even though one of those retailers had jacked up the price above the MSRP (a nauseating tactic, but
not unexpected).

A slightly more optimistic glimmer for PC gamers keen to get this CPU is seen with the UK retailer Scan, which is predicting that stock will be back in
come November 29. Thats still over two weeks away, though, and the chances of picking up a Ryzen 9800X3D in November appear to be pretty slim, from what we can tell.

Meanwhile, on eBay, in the US scalpers have the processor on sale from $640 upwards, a minimum of a third price hike on the CPUs MSRP, hoping to tempt those who are desperate to get the Ryzen 9800X3D. Whatever you do, just wait dont encourage the price gougers, as if they fail to make a profit (or not much of one), they wont be doing this again. You might also like Intel may
