At the Tustin store, the employees I've talked to are woefully ignorant of what a computer is and/or blatantly lying about things.
I've spoken with 3 different people:

1. We are sold out and won't be getting anymore for a while. (after explaining they aren't even released yet, I was informed they have no estimate of when they will get any).
2. We have no idea how many we will get and they won't arrive in the store until exactly 9am. We aren't under NDA, if we knew we would absolutely tell our customers.
   
3. We don't know how many we have, we don't know if we are using wristbands or tickets. Additionally the same person:
       There are people currently lined up.
       There are not people currently lined up.
       We have already allocated all stock.
       We don't know how many we have (how have they allocated all stock then?)
       "We have never given out tickets/wristbands for people in line", they did it for the 30x0 launch.

Wow sounds like they have no idea. Great communication guys. Why would I want to buy with you guys if you guys can't communicate? You would think the store managers would prepare for this kind of thing to get their message straight.

Well thats super frustrating, I was thinking of stopping by to ask around as well.

Guys, stock is gonna be fine afaik! I talked with an MC associate earlier and they said this will be an actual launch with cards not like nvidia. They prob have at least a hundred- two hundred cpus

Hopefully a 5900x is left at Fairfax in the morning. I'm very surprised by the line this early. Its gonna be cold tonight

I overestimated a bit, we have a list, 9 people want a 5900x, 4 want a 5950x, so far. But yes, I'm also surprised by the turnout.

Thanks for the updates!! I'll probably just roll out of bed early and head out. Got the rest of my new build ready for pickup

hahaha, scalpers will be SOL once stock floods the market in a months time. CPU die yields are like 7x more on a wafer than GPU dies. Divide by 2 for the chiplet design, but still 3.5x more. I'm not as much in a hurry as I was for Ampere so I'll try my chances online if worst case comes to shove.

^ this 100%, TSMC 7nm yield is excellent by this point. I'm sleeping in and buying something I want online vs. something that's available in store day one

TheCptNeptune

Also yea guys, obv maybe for the 5950x there might be stock issues bc its the highest bin. But I think for the more mainstream one's stock will be fine. (I feel its gonna be similar to 3070 launch (stock for 1-2 hrs after open)). Also yep, tsmc 7nm has wayyy better yields than Samsung 8nm

futurewolfie

I'm still trying to decide if it's worth heading out at midnight to the Westmont store, or just checking in early morning to see how long the line is for a 5950x. I tried calling the store but their "hold queue is full" whatever that means

cuedive

Anyone up at the MN location? think I have a shot for a 5900x if I show up an hour or so before open tomorrow?

ExtreemVin1

Does anyone know how many 5900Xs the Duluth store has?

I'll be driving by it later tonight to check it out. I'll reply here. My plan is to be there around 5AM.

Changed my mind for Paterson, going to arrive tonight in the hopes of getting a 5900X. See you all around midnight.

Subtle

11 people lined up at marietta, roughly a dozen per model reported stock 

Xkix

Definitely will be chatting here and keeping everyone posted

Sheepykin

So far no one in line at Rockville microcenter. I will probably come back in a few hours or sit in my car.

liamknightes

any chance of me dropping by in the morning at fairfax and getting an R7 5800x

RocketStation

Any updates on Duluth or Marietta?

jrmagecraft

Anyone in line at the MN location and know about 5950x stock?

Pyr0

Anyone update on Mayfield OH R5 & R7 stock? Also what is the line situation? Hoping to be able to just get there early tomorrow for the release.
