AMD's new Ryzen 7000-series processors are now available to buy

pcgamer.com:

AMD's excellent Ryzen 7000-series processors are now available to buy from your local computer shop and online retailers. Just yesterday our Ryzen 9 7950X review(opens in new tab) and Ryzen 7 7700X review(opens in new tab) were set live, and if those whet your appetite for either processor, or the Ryzen 5 7600X or Ryzen 9 7900X, then you'll want to hop online immediately to secure one for yourself.

At least supply shouldn't be so much of a sticky topic for these new Zen 4 processors—supply for CPUs has been pretty stable this past year. However, even during the best of times we can see in-demand processors sell out rapidly at launch. The Ryzen 9 5950X and 5900X were particularly hard to acquire from the previous generation, and it's likely that their high-end counterparts in the Ryzen 7000-series will be in similarly high demand.

For the time being, Best Buy has the Ryzen 9 7950X(opens in new tab), Ryzen 9 7900X(opens in new tab), Ryzen 7 7700X(opens in new tab), and Ryzen 5 7600X(opens in new tab) all in stock and at their respective MSRPs. Excellent.

Newegg also has similar listings for the Ryzen 9 7950X(opens in new tab), Ryzen 9 7900X(opens in new tab), Ryzen 7 7700X(opens in new tab), and Ryzen 5 7600X(opens in new tab).

I have yet to find any of the new chips on Amazon US yet, however, and Micro Center only offers these CPUs for in-store pickup.

In the UK, Overclockers(opens in new tab) has the entire line-up in stock and ready to go. As does Scan(opens in new tab).

But you shouldn't have a hard time spotting these chips. They come with brand new and very flashy black packaging that sets them apart from the older Zen 2 and Zen 3 chips.
