If you are wanting to build now I wouldn't wait as nothing radical will change with Rocket Lake. Sure Rocket Lake will likely be a bit faster on the 4-6 core parts but then Zen4 should leapfrog RL again. I also wouldn't wait if you need more than 8-cores because AMD should still beat Intel's Rocket Lake with the 12 and 16 core parts. I think now that we have proper competition waiting isn't a great idea just jump in the water when you need to upgrade. No major flaws in either sides CPU's.
Gratz AMD, but I will wait for Intel offer coming next spring.

Just bought one (5950X)... - limited to only one per client and there where 10+ in stock
The price was more or less in the MSRP limits = 880 euro...but that's what happens when you want something day one.

Gone in a space of couple of minutes in most EU shops I looked.

Wow, I knew this day was coming. I hope AMD GPU launch won't have issues with drivers, and CPU + GPU combo might happen sooner rather than later for me. Amazing what they achieved in such short time-frame.
This is what most of us would call tangible progress, and not 5-10% perf. increase that Intel was calling progress with their 4 core counterparts.
Exciting times ahead, I wonder what next three years hold for us in CPU and GPU markets.

All "my stores" never went on availability or disappeared in 1 min. The store where i made the reservation got 2 units of the 5900x.
So yeah... paper launch for me.
That means Your stores do not share global logistics centers. I shop with guys that use EU's warehouses. And supply there is just fine.
And I was F*ing tempted to buy when I saw those numbers in tests.
