AMD's Ryzen 3000 series CPUs have already far exceeded their launch, especially on the X570 platform and the top-of-the-range Ryzen 9 3950X hit stores a few days ago.
Ryzen 9 3950X with stock problems due to strong demand
However, it appears that the processor is having a 'bumpy' launch due to a lack of stock.
The new chips are completely out of stock at NewEgg and can't be ordered, and at Amazon it's really hard to find at best. Once listed, the chip appears as 'currently not available' with Amazon stating "We don't know when or if this item will be back in stock." This is being reported by Amazon of the United States, in Amazon of Spain the situation is not so desperate (At the time of writing these lines), but if you have to be lucky to get one of these chips.

According to the ComputerBase source in Germany, they had contact with some sellers, and it turns out that there the demand for AMD's Ryzen 9 3950X chip exceeds the supply by 16 times. This means that for each chip that sellers initially had in stock (although they no longer have it), they have 16 standing "pre-orders" and do not specify a delivery date. The situation is so dire that many resellers, including Alternate.de, Caseking.de and Mindfactory, are asking for higher prices for the chips while they are in this 'pre-sale restored' phase.
If we look at the Threadripper 3960X and 3970X models, the situation is no different. These chips were released a few days ago, so we are a little more understanding in your case.
One of the desperate options to get the Ryzen 9 3950X is to go to stores like eBay, although the price shoots up in this case with resale values, well above the 749 USD that the chip officially costs.
The best advice is to wait for demand to calm down after Black Friday. We will keep you informed.
