AMD's new Ryzen 7 9800X3D gaming CPU sold out almost instantly and scalpers are already selling the chips for up to $999

Hop onto all the big etailers and you'll find that AMD's new Ryzen 7 9800X3D CPU is sold out. Amazon, Newegg, Best Buy, the lot. Nobody has stock, I just checked!

In fact, some observers reckon the chip, which Dave describes as the "new king of gaming CPUs", sold out in minutes. Meanwhile, other sources reckon Intel's new Arrow Lake CPUs have been catastrophically slow sellers, with German etailer Mindfactory claimed to have not shifted a single chip in the first week of sales.
