AMD reponds to Ryzen 5000 desktop processor shortages
You might have noticed it, AMD has problems supplying enough Ryzen Series 5000 processors. That's does take everybody back to the Ampere launch mindset from NVIDIA, products which you still can't purchase.
AMD responded through social media, the answer is ingenious, and much like NVIDIA, they state that demand is much higher than expected. AMD does reiterate it has not been a paper launch. They 'shipped tons' of processors, but they quickly sold out. AMD's Frank Azor responded on Twitter with a comment from a user who claims that Ryzen 5000 is a 'paper launch'. According to Azor, there is a big difference between delivering large numbers and a 'paper launch'. Azor hereby indicates that AMD has already supplied 'enormous quantities', but that the demand is still greater than the supply.
We also received an email from a user in the UK, he ordered a 5950X and currently sits roughly at #290 in the waiting queue for delivery at Scan. He mentions this; ' I would also say I'm a retailer and stock of the 5900X was not terrible but the 5950X was almost non-existant'.
When asked whether AMD implemented a bots-resistant plan during the launch of Zen 3, Azor said they have done everything they can, including in collaboration with retail partners, and have succeeded in most situations. reach the goal. However, he also indicates that it is a battle that will never be won in its entirety, but that they continue to learn from each launch to do better next time. And yes, the signs for the Radeon RX 6800 (XT) being available in good volume, are not good either.

In England an IT Shop called AWD-IT still had some 5900X with motherboard bundles even yesterday.
I'm not saying this can be called good 'stock' tough but still something.
Not to say that If you did the math the price was absolutely great compare to other sellers.
They have priced the 5900X for £500 exactly plus the price of the motherboard which was again for good price.
Alza had some 5800X on sale yesterday too etc.
Ampere cards were nowhere to be found 1 minute after official launch just saying.

5600X seems to still be available. The more desirable models will remain unavailable for who knows how long. I reckon the supplied batches will be sold out quicly, or in fact have already been sold out if a store allows that, for the time being. Thus, nobody can claim the whole launch was a paper launch, with any amount of credibility. In the end, especially with GF out of the picture, AMD itself is a victim of limited supply, just like any other manufacturer that depends on the advanced process nodes. Let's just hope miners won't steal most of the new AMD video cards when they (supposedly) launch.

Unless we get concrete information from both AMD and Nvidia on units shipped vs previous launches then all of this is just talk, from both sides.

It was a bit naughty, perhaps even anti-consumer, of AMD to have the NDA in place until launch day, that didn't help anyone and I hope they don't repeat it for 6000 series GPUs...
I don't understand why Microsoft and Sony can offer pre-orders well in advance for their new products but AMD and Nvidia cannot.

I appreciate them also not wanting to give away the demand to rivals, but like with nvidia, it would be easier news to swallow if they at least gave some reference to illustrate levels they are dealing with.
If it comes out that they are shipping 1-2% of demand to retailers, that would be frustrating.
