i signed up for every 3080-3090 on that site on launch days and have still yet to get a single email.
Yup, the high end market is crazy. Last week I saw a 6900xt card for $2600 sold by Newegg. I'm hoping to get a 3080 FE card from Bestbuy, but all the high end deal seekers are competing for the same thing.

u gotta hit the living shit out of F5 every Tuesday and Friday late morning to noon for a slight chance to get A videocard from bestbuy at its original msrp. better off take a chance at a prebuilt

Yeah prebuilts are a better deal at the moment. I would like to milk my 7600k a bit longer though. Plus I'm not a fan of reselling parts and keeping just the gpu. I want to wait for AM5 before doing a full upgrade, since my current PC is sufficient for my needs.
actually the best chance for you to snag one is to line up before they open (all the good stuff will sell out by mid-morning usually). so it's a bit of a gamble where you won't know if it's a big shipment day, so it might take a couple tries. but there are common shipment days (tues/thurs or something like that).
I was at the St Louis Park, MN store today and they had a ton of basically all the 5000 series CPU's including the 5950X which they had for 799 and they also had a sign posted at the front door stating they aren't getting any GPU's for the next 3 days. I've been told by multiple associates there that they basically don't know what they are going to get in their shipments and just hope for the best. 5000 series AMD processors seem to be at their highest in stock levels I've seen since Covid started. I live walking distance away so if anyone needs something picked up I can grab it and ship whatever to you or hold it until you can make it to the area if need be. Also, they hilariously have digital "mini kitchen" scales that they have a very hard time keeping in stock because everyone steals them that I totally didn't purchase as well today. They had one Rog Strix Dark Hero on clearance for roughly $75 off as well so I got a protection plan and rolled the dice after some mild convincing by one of their staff. They don't bullshit you either all the pushy phony sales people don't seem to last very long. Also, if you can avoid going on a Sunday please do sometimes the checkout line will stretch all the way to the back of the store and the aisles are narrow it sucks standing. Today was weirdly calm in there though. Ok I Cleary bought a digi scale sorry for the Novella
Not sure what comparisons you are making. 11400f does not have an iGPU and has the same core and thread count as the 5600x.
Then the compariurlhasbeenblockedy price/performance. Would need to put both into a graph with other CPUs to see which is a deal, unless "most performance" is the goal - then the Ryzen is clearly the winner.
I haven't kept up with Intel CPUs for about 4 yrs, so I didn't know they made Core i5 CPUs without iGPU anymore. I have an i5-750 from 2010, before Intel started adding iGPUs to their CPUs. Also have a G3258 with an iGPU which does more than I'll ever need (the iGPU).
Plus, with AM4, there are many, many, CPUs that can be dropped into that socket. Multiple years of CPU models. Intel seems to change the socket every year, so a future upgrade will mean changing the MB and possibly the RAM too.
I have an Asus B450 MB with a Ryzen 2600 today. Moving to the 5600 will be a BIOS upgrade and CPU drop-in. Perhaps my G3258 can be upgraded now for $30. I don't know. Hummmmm. I've been trying to stay under 65W for the last 5 yrs. It is showing up in lower electric bills, that is certain. I really didn't think much about that cost, until the bills were all lower for a few years, yet the performance was 2-4x more than the system that was replaced.
Lots of the people saying that this CPU is a bad value because it's only 6-cores for $280, but I have to completely disagree. still using it.. it's worth for the price.

People are mad that AMD are charging what they should. Intel can't really compete.
AMD wins all around = decently pricey. What other choice do you have? Buy LOLtel? AMD knows this. They own the DIY market.
You can't reason with morons.

Wow, glad to see these are dropping below MSRP. Seems like Intel's new releases are putting a little cost pressure on the AMD chips. I'm still getting by just fine with my 7 year old i7 4930k, but am hoping to upgrade to a 5600X or 5800X at some point. I may need to start dropping by MicroCenter more often.

Not a gamer.
