    Got all the way to the end of check out on scan, even as far as code from bank to confirm. Then it popped up as expired and cancelled the transaction. D'ye remember when you used be able to buy stuff?!

    Well that was a nightmare..i expected it as well...on 6 different sites managed to get 5800x into basket...only managed to get invoiced from scan for full amount..then scan emailed me saying "expected deliver 30th november".....god damn it

    My order page said Nov 10th but tbh I'm just glad I nabbed one. Still have a few parts before my build is ready and will probably wait until the Black Friday sales just in case.

    Got order in on scan by it took ages. No idea if actual stock today was allocated as I know they oversell, as most retailers.

    Hope some managed to get what they wanted and anyone also looking for 5950x and got one. WELL DONE

    https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B08166SLDF - unavailable here, but hit email me, hoping they may have some stock later? (based on absolutely nothing)

    How much was it on Scan?

    My scan email says nothing about delivery date. I had it in the basket in seconds but took ages to get it checked out.

    Looking at the HW Canucks video, the 5600X is so close to the 5800X and 5900X it's unreal. So glad I decided to cheap out :pac:

    Ok, I'll just be keeping the 5600x so. No real benefit in a 5800x.

    Have it in basket on pre-order for OCUK - but hesitant if they've no idea when they'll get more stock..they had a bit of a fiasco with the Nvidia stuff right?

    Looking HW Unboxed, no point in overclocking for gaming as you hurt the single core performance which is just over 5GHz on the 5950X :eek:

    Slightly lower thermals for Zen 3 also.

    As impressive as these CPU's look as a 3700X owner who primarily games at 1440P looking at all the benchmarks so far there is zero reason for me to consider upgrading at this time.

    Nice, I'm tempted by their bundles that are supposedly 'in stock' as I need a motherboard too..hoping their live chat could confirm if they set stock aside for these but i'm placed 99 in q!

    ah same, i think we knew, most people who bought 3000 series don't expect to upgrade just yet. maybe ill go 5600x after 1 year when price dropped.

    What has really suprised me is cross CCX (CCD) communication doesn't seem to be an issue for the 5900X and 5950X. I wonder if the higher clock speeds are helping?

    On the old CCX only 2 cores could work together without a latency right?

    4 cores. You can even see the 4 cores in that picture.

    Now 8 cores can.
