AMD Starts Selling Ryzen 9 3900X and Radeon RX 5700 directly to consumers
AMD on their website started direct sales of processors and graphics cards, much like what NVIDIA is doing with he founder edition graphics cards. So if you yearn that Ryzen 9 3900X and there is no availability in etail, hey check the AMD on stock and you can purchase it there.
Obviously, as far as the graphics cards go, the products are reference models and all are available in North America, Western Europe, Asia-Pacific, greater China and Latin America. The custom cards from AMD's partners such as MSI, ASUS and Sapphire (which are due to appear in mid-August and September) remain exclusively for sale through manufacturers. Currently, AMD offers the AMD Ryzen 3900X Processor and AMD Radeon RX 5700 Series Graphics Cards on their website.

For me it is in stock. But after counting in VAT + shipping, it is more expensive than price in local shops. (which have them out of stock) No Win here either.

Get a 3700x = win

I do not really need that much higher ST performance. I more want 50% more threads of 3900X.
And I do not really care much if it clocks all 12 cores mere 200MHz higher than I currently clock all 8 cores either.
I can wait for that chip. I am missing new ASRock's BIOS too. And after next week I am on vacation therefore I do not really "need" that upgrade now.
But AMD is clearly missing sales. I expect that there are thousands of people obsessed with getting one, and if they can't get it soon, their obsession will weaken to point many will not buy it at all.

I have a feeling that the reason why the R7 3800X reviews have not come out yet is because it is the fastest of the CPU lineup for gaming. Sure, it won't be an insane improvement over the other R7 and R9 chips, but I expect it will be at least 5 frames faster on average. AMD want to make sure that they sell as many R7 3700X and R9 3900X CPUs as they can. For gamers, if many people see that the R7 3800X is a bit faster for gaming, they will just buy that instead of stepping up to the R9 3900X.

I would say high demand is a good thing. Nvidia certainly didn't suffer when Pascal was out of stock for weeks after launch. There was also a major mobo shortage upon the release of Summit Ridge, and early adopters like me had to wait up to a month for a mobo to go with my shiny new processor - it was certainly frustrating, but didn't stop me from buying.

Huh? The 3700X has a lower boost clock, meaning, it has worse ST performance.

Just because a product is out of stock, that doesn't necessarily mean that is due to demand. Intel's shortages for example are hard to pin down due to demand. I think I recall Vega 64/56 being on short supply too, and that wasn't very high demand either (though, I think miners had a little something to do with that too).
I honestly don't know if the 3900X is actually in high-demand or not. If it is then you're probably right, people will wait for it to get in stock.

One reason why the CPUs are all out of stock is because many scalpers have bought them all, and are trying to sell them for inflated costs on ebay.

I meant it in comparison to my 2700X

I wonder how many "desperate" people are actually buying them from the scalpers?

I saw one person the other day who had 30 of the R9 3900X CPUs listed for 650 US.

Some buy them overpriced from where they can find them and i'm sitting here being picky ignoring all other stores that have it in stock and waiting on my favorite store to get it in stock.

For people in Canada, the R7 3800X is currently 523.64 before tax at shoprbc. This is the cheapest currently available at all Canadian stores, and is actually the correct conversion on the dollar without gouging. They have a few in stock in Ottawa.

Look at Mindfactory Sales Data - 3900X is 2nd best selling CPU!, they sold over 4300 Zen2 CPU's in 4 days!.
3700X sold 1780pcs.
3900x sold 1020pcs!
3600 sold 860pcs.
https://www.mindfactory.de/Hardware/Prozessoren+(CPU)/AMD+Desktop/Sockel+AM4.html
For reference the 12c TR 2920X sold only 110pcs while being cheaper then 3900X!.
