how often do they drop?

First time I've seen them for sale on AMD's site in the last 2 weeks. Outside of that timeline I don't know.

Although it looks like they're out of stock now. That was fast.

Looks like the 5800X is still available for $449

There's been 25+ in stock at many Microcenter's for almost a week now. Walk-in sales only, with quantity limits. Makes it difficult for the scalpers.

The stock issue can be a few things

1. Not producing many
2. high demand
3. both

This makes me think option 2. There are a fair number of them, they just are flying off of shelves.

I think 3, except 1 is more correctly "Not producing as much as they wish they could".

In separate but related news: is Intel's new CEO shaking things up or what. Intel seems to be genuinely going for the value-leader market position now:
