AMD Zen 3/Ryzen 5000 Series Launch Discussion

otaku_sneakerhead said:

The situation at Tustin MC as of 8:30PM 11/4: ~20 people are lined up outside the store in queue for the 5000 series launch however a list has already been established with well over 100 people who have already "secured there position in line" for whatever processor they want. They are no longer needed to be present until check-in times at 4am and 7am on launch day. The problem with this is MC sale of the CPUs are based off of a first come first serve basis. Despite that people were able to come and go as the please without having to physically wait in line, which is typically part of the FCFS process for items with limited availability. This is pretty unfair to the people who are willing to wait in line for however long in order to purchase the product. This system would have been better suited for a raffle giving people the equal opportunity of securing a CPU while saving many time and effort. I understand that this maybe a smarter move in light of COVID-19 however, I feel that MC should be doing more to organize these actual releases rather than leaving it up to the consumers waiting outside. I believe the system was inspired by the one started during the 30 series GPU releases as shown in BitWit's video on youtube, however that system was much more rigid with 30 minute check-in times and required potential buyers to be in queue for much longer times than not as FCFS queues should be. Whether or not the 100 or so people who've already signed up would've been willing to wait when they arrived until doors open, doesn't change the fact that the situation is what it is right now, that there is no real queue and that the list could have easily been manipulated preventing people who were more willing to wait to purchase their item from doing so.

TLDR: MC Tustin is getting run by a bunch of people who don't know how a first come first serve queue works. As someone whos camped out over the years for items with limited availability such as shoes, clothing, collectables, etc. This is pretty bullshit.

Anyone waiting in cambridge mass? Getting nervous watching all the online activity and might drive out from connecticut early to wait in line.

If you want a 5900x or 5950....GO NOW if you want even a chance at it.  All of a sudden since 7pm EST the Cambridge people gone dark, something is up.

Yeah, there is definitely a blackout on news coming out of Cambridge lol ......or absolutely no one is there.

LMAO, so a group of people who don't work for MC is officially organizing a "wait list" for an anticipated launch.  I thought this was a joke when I read about it for the 3080 launch.  LOLOL, people have gone so soft, that's a tough one to swallow.  What is stopping someone who is willing to wait in line until the voucher are handed out in the morning since its first come first served?

How does it look now? Should I even bother for a 5900x? I'm okay with the 5800x or 5600x. Debating on weather or not I should head out there now or around 5 or 6 am.
