The first time in awhile that AMD has underrated one of their new product releases. Good on them! Maybe we're seeing the beginnings of better marketing that will persist throughout 2025, but history isn't kind toward an optimism like this.

The next question is: how long will this shortage last? Many of you might not know this but the Radeon 7900 XTX got into short supply for awhile after launch, and even a few months later, seemed to hold prices over launch MSRP. Of course, the RTX 4080's value failure helped here, and a little of the same from 7900 XT that should have launched $50-100 lower.

AIBs must be also quite happy. I'm sure not an insignificant % of those rushing to buy these CPUs will also buy RAM and a motherboard.

This is a good problem for AMD to have.

So is it because demand is high or is it because supplies are very low.

Demand.

I was at my local microcenter yesterday and the guy at the order desk said they sold 30 at store opening, but still had "a pile" in the back. At that time the website showed "25+" still in stock. This morning it shows as sold out. So, let's call that 50+ in one day at one location. That doesn't sound like a dry launch to me.
