Several reports indicate that AMD’s Ryzen 7 9800X3D processors have sold out in both the US and European markets. European retailers have completely exhausted their stock of the Ryzen 7 9800X3D before the incoming shipments have even been delivered. This high demand has resulted in pre-orders being fully booked ahead of the actual availability of the CPUs. Resellers have all reported being out of stock for the Ryzen 7 9800X3D in Europe. The shortage of Ryzen 7 9800X3D has caused Mindfactory to cancel pre-orders due to inability to fulfill them. In addition, the retailer has accumulated a significant number of pre-orders, resulting in the next shipment of Ryzen 7 9800X3D processors being sold out before arrival. The US is experiencing similar availability issues, prompting scalpers to sell the Ryzen 7 9800X3D at prices above the manufacturer’s suggested retail price (MSRP).
On platforms like eBay, the CPUs are listed for up to $999, with most prices around $750, representing a 56% increase over MSRP. The only places with more consistent availability seem to be select brick-and-mortar stores operated by MicroCenter. The persistently high demand for the Ryzen 7 9800X3D suggests that supply shortages may continue to affect its availability in the short term.
