AMD Ryzen 9 5900 & Ryzen 7 5800 Zen 3 OEM Desktop CPUs Launched

OEM only? Seriously?



Even Intel gives DIY users the ability to purchase cheaper chips. This would be like if Intel only shipped K series chips. If anyone thought AMD at the top would be fine, it's time to rethink that idea. This is exactly why we need competition.

Hopefully AMD will still release a DIY version.

Could be that AMD needed to lock these chips to OEMs for now due to the chip crunch to ensure having something to deliver to them. The Cezanne desktop chips were already pushed back one quarter due to it to have enough supply at launch, so chances are that they will come at a later date if the chip crunch resolves itself at some point.

Maybe but they really should have announced something by now. Last time they announced the cheaper versions at launch, at least for their mid-low end chips and Intel always announces the cheaper versions.
