AMD 9800X3D and AMD CPU Shortages, What You Need to Know
AMD’s latest processors, especially the highly anticipated AMD 9800X3D, are making waves in the tech world. With incredible performance gains, increased core counts, and remarkable power efficiency, these CPUs are perfect for both gamers and professionals. However, with massive demand comes limited supply, and that’s the challenge AMD is navigating right now.
Allocation Processing Status
We will update the table below as soon as we receive stock and begin processing orders. To ensure fairness, all orders will be locked until processing is complete, so that everyone receives their order fairly.
| Processor | Allocation Processing - Started | Allocation Processing - Finished |
|---|---|---|
| AMD 9800X3D CPU | 07/02/2025 - Started Processing | Finished Processing |
| AMD 9800X3D CPU | 10/02/2025 - Started Processing | Finished Processing |
| AMD 9800X3D CPU | 21/02/2025 - Started Processing | Still Processing |
Allocation Approx ETA: Expected around the 19th Feb.
How to Know Your Order is Ready to Ship or Collect
While an allocation is processing, you’ll receive an email notification confirming that your order has either shipped or is ready to be collected.
When an allocation has finished processing, we will update the table stating it has finished. If you haven’t received an email notification, it means we were unable to fulfill your order in that particular allocation.
When allocations arrive, they generally take between 2–4 working days to process.
What’s Behind the Shortage?
The global semiconductor shortage continues to impact tech industries worldwide, and AMD’s CPUs are no exception. Manufacturing complexities combined with surging demand have created a bottleneck, making the AMD 9800X3D and other popular models hard to come by. Unfortunately, AMD has not provided specific ETAs or allocation sizes for restocks, which makes predicting availability a huge challenge. At the moment, we can only estimate based on the allocation sizes we have received.
Order Fulfillment: What You Need to Know
We want to assure you that we’re actively working to fulfill orders as quickly as possible. While AMD is shipping out allocations in small quantities, here’s what this means for you:
- Small Allocations: We’re receiving limited shipments of AMD processors on a rolling basis.
- Consistent Efforts: We’re leveraging our supplier relationships to secure consistent restocks and keep the supply chain moving.
- ETAs: The ETAs listed on our site are estimations based on channel information and the allocation sizes we’ve received so far. They are provided to give you the best possible idea of a time frame. However, please note that these are subject to change as new updates come through from our suppliers.
If you’ve placed an order, rest assured that we’re prioritizing it and will update you as soon as your processor is ready to ship. Unfortunately, we cannot provide exact dates as AMD does not supply them.
Why Staying in the Queue is Worth It
Although allocations for the AMD 9800X3D are arriving on a rolling basis, they are coming in smaller quantities due to high demand. However, this demand continues to grow, especially with the imminent release of 50 series cards.
The good news? Being in the queue ensures you’re in line to secure this cutting-edge processor as soon as it becomes available. By staying patient, you’re locking in access to one of the most sought-after CPUs on the market, a processor that delivers exceptional performance gains, efficiency, and versatility for gamers and professionals alike. Great things take time, and the AMD 9800X3D is well worth the wait!
Patience Pays Off
We understand how frustrating it can be to wait for cutting-edge hardware, especially when it can transform your gaming, content creation, or professional workflows. These supply chain challenges are affecting customers worldwide, and patience will be key as availability improves.
What Can You Do in the Meantime If You Haven’t Ordered?
- Place a Backorder: Lock in your spot in the queue to ensure priority when stock arrives.
