Probably because they know they will be able to produce 5% of demand.

Actually, I'm going to check out with PayPal so I can't change the shipping address anyway. So no time limit, I'll just buy it and re-ship since I can't send the order directly.
If he doesn't want it I'd definitely be happy to take it.
Not sure if it has been touched on yet, but out-of-the-box numbers actually has the 5900x outperforming the 5950x in gaming benchmarks by 1-2%. Assuming due to the increased base clock.
God i hope AMD does something smart with the 5900x sales... like you know... CAPTCHA?!? At least that.
Are we really expecting them to sell out instantly everywhere? CPU buyers are still pretty divided, unlike GPU buyers.
I did read that when Zen2 came out, it sold out instantly, but it went back in stock fast. With pandemic this time, and seeing these benchmark numbers and the growing popularity of AMD, i can see this being a problem too, but maybe not as much as GPU
anyone mind doing a quick once-over on this list to see if i'm making any obvious mistakes here? trying to spec out a build for a friend's first gaming PC but i haven't thrown anything together in a few years.

would it be safe to assume the 3070 is going to be impossible to actually buy for the foreseeable future after it releases?
I built a similar system last year but went with this 3600 cl16 kit for about $10 more. It will allow the Infinity Fabric to run at 1800Mhz instead of 1600Mhz.
Your SSD choice is a bit odd. Why not go with Sabrent Rocket 4.0 1TB for PCIe 4.0 speed at $149.99. The no-name brand at a higher price doesn't make much sense.
exactly the kind of input i was looking for, thank you! i am totally clueless on NVME hardware so i'll swap that out. i think the RAM might've been a holdover from an earlier, worse motherboard i had selected.
The RDNA2 stream is about to start if you wanted to check it out
Looks like the short version is 6800XT is mostly identical performance to the 3080 at a $50 undercut (649) and 20W lower TDP. Available Nov 18th for the 6800xt and 6800
AMD is also working on their own version of DLSS, tho they didn't show it off. Also adding a feature for Ryzen 5000 and RDNA2 cards to share memory pools.
Jesus, they announced a 6900 and it out-performs the 3090 for $999.
I don't have it in me to trust their cards/drivers, but I'll trust their stock price.
I missed most of the conference. Is the Smart Access Memory item listed their DLSS?
It's a feature to let Ryzen 5000 CPUs share memory with their GPUs.
They also said the GPUs are compatible with Directstorage and they have their own version of Nvidia Reflex that works on every game. Whatever their version of DLSS is they just said their working on it, but didn't give specifics. Assuming that comes sooner rather then later they're basically at feature parity with Nvidia, just the question of if they can fix their drivers this time around.
