For the first time, AMD bought 12-core to mainstream computing with its new Ryzen 9 3900X. The new member of the Ryzen family became so popular that the company ran out of stock within a few weeks of launch. The retailers spiked up the price of this CPU, realizing the supply shortage.

It has been three months since the launch, and Ryzen 3900X is still selling above its MSRP (manufacturer suggested retail price) of $499. Newegg and B&H Photo Video are selling it for $530, and Micro Center is selling it for $550. However, Amazon and Best Buy are now selling it at the MSRP.

Tom’s Hardware reached out to AMD to get an update on Ryzen 9 3900X pricing, and AMD responded that it had not increased the price. AMD delayed the launch of its Ryzen 9 3950X by two months in order to meet the strong demand for its existing Ryzen 9 3900X and other Ryzen 3000 series CPUs.
