This is a real disappointment. I would have been willing to switch from Intel to AMD after years. But 0 availability in the whole of Switzerland is totally ridiculous. This is a paper launch in perfection. At least some of the Nvidia 30XX cards were available with a bit of luck. Too bad AMD.

Question

Accepted Answer

I think the 5600X was better available...

Answer

The higher the CPU in the tier list, the fewer of them are produced or can be produced. Because of the expected performance, which Intel is unlikely to match in the near future, the demand from enthusiasts is naturally all the greater than usual. One should also not forget that AMD is much smaller than Intel and Switzerland does not offer a huge market due to its size.  Accordingly, I wouldn't call this a paper launch. You also have to consider the whole Covid story, which logically affects not only production but also logistics.
