What sales, they hardly had any stock available. I've been trying since the release to get my hands on a Ryzen 5900x and they're sold out everywhere. I'm trying to get on a waiting list for it now, fingers crossed that they can deliver before the new year.

Unfortunately, even if there was, they wouldn't have Thunderbolt so it would limit the external display options. Hopefully when USB4 starts rolling out it'll be a different story.
There is nothing stopping manufactures from including Thunderbolt.

#153No 5600x (or even 3600). No nvidia cards at decent prices.
I'm guessing the etherium 2 launch just drained the whole supply chain.

This is "no one drives in New York, there's too much traffic" levels of logic.

Or low supply. The RTX 3080 is impossible to find, but not because they have high sales. They just haven't made very many of them.
Check out the November Steam results. The RTX 3080 is already at 0.23%. After just 1 month. If you don’t think that’s impressive, compare it against some AMD GPUs like the 5700 or the 5600 XT, which has the same share. There’s a reason Nvidia’s quarterly gaming results where a blowout. https://store.steampowered.com/hwsurvey/videocard/
This is large retailer, but once of a dozen in Denmark.

It's quite frustrating that this is becoming the norm, whether it be the 3XXX Nvidia cards, Playstation 5s, Ryzen CPUs, why is it that no hardware company can keep up with demand these days?
Scalpers aren't helping. I'd be super curious how many they've gotten vs normal customers.

What ever happened to the laws of supply and demand? If the demand is high, and the supply is limited, they should be raising their prices. Stockx says an xbox series X is worth $750, a PS5 is worth $950, and a Ryzen 5900X worth $800. Why can't vendors just raise their prices, so I can buy from a retail outlet I trust, rather than a scalper.

Good problem to have from the perspective of AMD shareholders.
Both Sony and Microsoft were on a PowerPC base for the PS3/Xbox360 generation. Sony was on a MIPS before that. While there's definitely value in knowing you basically own the console market for the next few years, consoles have a much easier time jumping ship on architectures than PCs do, so having such a large portion of your revenue tied to two customers, both of whom are capable of jumping ship quite easily on the…
