AMD Ryzen 5 1600 already selling

It seems that some consumers already have been able to order Ryzen 5 processors, interesting as these should not be available for another three weeks.

Likely it was a mistake at a distributor somewhere, and a shop or two didn't care. And yes, you will have to travel to Paraguay and find the shop, but somebody in Paraguay is shouting "who's your daddy!" :-)

Of course, to skip the embargo date by this amount, well that's just steep alright. The photos have been posted on Reddit, the end-user who has his hands on that platform bought a Ryzen 5 1600 (six-cores enabled processor) and a MSI B350 Tomahawk motherboard.

It seems strange stores would have the CPUs this much in advance. From what I could see by checking the store listings before the first Ryzen launch, the stores got the first supply of CPUs barely in time for the launch, and then later they had more coming. As we all know, the mobo situation was even worse.

But that being said, maybe we will get Hilbert reviewing the rumoured 16C Ryzen in 9 days...
