Before launch, we have seen reviews from YouTube and tech hardware sites testing the newest AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D CPU. Yesterday was the official launch of the next-gen Zen 3 3D-Cache-based processor. Today, no major US retailer has the product in stock, causing new users and gamers to wait until the product returns to digital shelves or begin paying premium scalper prices due to the inability to remain.
With the AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D CPU sold out in the US, what will this mean for scalping prices?
AMD’s Ryzen 7 5800X3D processor sold out at $449. But, sites such as Newegg had listings from third-party sellers raising prices to $599. This loss of sellable stock does not bode well for AMD, as they made several marketing attempts to assure consumers that there would be stock available and that the cost would be affordable for users. Now, users will have to look to other variants of AMD processors that will be compatible with their system, which is sometimes not an ideal solution or go to the competitor and purchase from them.
340 Units sold (with a markup) in the last hours. Decent. https://t.co/SCOtXDGzQj

AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D CPU was slated to be a fantastic upgrade for those needing a premium processor at a decent cost. The chip offers 3D-stacked SRAM technology, outperforming Intel’s Core i9-12900K and i9-12900KS chips.
