See people, just be a little patient and refuse to pay scalper prices. You will like for two extra months on your current CPU.

Take that scalpers.

The same will not happen with graphics cards. In fact the resurgent supply of these CPUs is no doubt a decision by AMD to utilize their 4nm capacity with TSMC to prioritize Ryzen CPUs over Radeon GPUs. AMD probably makes a little bit more per unit manufacturing 9800X3D vs 9070XT, but they can get 5x as many CPUs as GPUs per wafer. At least be happy that the shortage is only remaining on one component in a PC instead of two.

So this time next year I can build a new PC with 2 year old parts...

A wafer takes months to go through a FAB and become whatever the maker want's it to...
There was nowhere near enough time for AMD to have changed manufacturing since the GPU launch and then for board partners to turn the chips into cards.

I've already ordered and cancelled several 9070 XT's and just today an RTX 5070 Ti all on Amazon. I decided to wait for close to MSRP on the videocards. This would be for a new build anyway so i'm in no rush as i'm using an HP Omen with an RTX 3080 card to get me by.
