AMD Zen 3/Ryzen 5000 Series Launch Discussion

TheVermonster

Fwiw the Paterson, NJ location is also in a 50% reduced tax zone. So I would assume it's the preferred location for many people, especially people from NYC.

If anyone is going to St David's I'd love an update tomorrow. I want to buy a complete system when I get there but I'm not making the trip if they don't have a processor.

Wondering about Marietta, was gonna head down from Chattanooga tonight.

Also I was told 5950x won't be coming til December, for anyone who was going for that.

Who told you this? Sources?

Micro Center employees who handed out the 3090/3080 vouchers this morning.

They asked what CPU I was waiting for, I said 5900x, they said ok good because there won't be any 5950x til December.

Are they handing out 3090/3080 vouchers for the 5th? My friend wants to grab the 3080 with a 5900x and we’re in Houston

Just got to Dallas MC. I’m number 1 currently. AND they confirmed that they will have all the CPUs INCLUDING 5950x

Vermeer CPUs are listed online now, but only the 5600X, 5800X and 5900X

No, at this point you show up before they open and around 8-something AM they hand out vouchers for whatever they had that morning. The morning was 2 ROG Strix 3090's and 5 3080's.

I wonder why the Houston location won't have 5950x's til December? 🤔

FroZen

Does anyone know what the Chicago location is supposed to look like tomorrow? I plan to buy the 5600x and will get there around 7am. Should I try to get there earlier?

It seems like most people aren't looking to buy the 5600x from what I'm reading.

I'd also like to add that I spoke to someone at the store just now and they said they will not be giving our vouchers until 9am when they open.

Honestly I’m five hours away from where I need to from past experiences should I leave now and go early or be there by 11-midnight? I’m so worried!? Lol

At this point its anyones guess... but it also depends on the CPU you want

5900x and if there sold out of that the 5950x

You might want to get there early then...

I’m leaving now 5 hours out fingers crossed I’m going as fast as I can please be gentle

"FIND ONLINE. BUY IN STORE."
This appears for the 5600X, 5800X, and 5900X. Does that mean MC isn't allowing us to place orders online to pick up in store? Wouldn't they rather have that than have crowds of people rushing the stores?

Vaggeto

If anyone else is in Dallas or hears about the counts of 5900x and 5950x, please let me know!

Flow

Hey all, first time attempting a launch event. Currently deciding between Fairfax MC and Rockville MC, anyone have a preference between the two?

gokitty199
