I now wish there was a MicroCenter next to me!

So far the leaks of Genesis Peak having it top out at 16 cores. Nothing leaked above that core count yet.

Kinda ironic an sad at the same time. Finally see a full line up of the RYZEN 6XXX 5XXX chips in stock locally and the 7XXX 6XXX potentially not far off now. I have to wonder why upgrade now.
But video cards regardless AMD or nVidea are still nowhere to be found. I'm tired of covid ..... tired in general delivering right now is just draining.

Ryzen 6/7000? 5000 is out now with 6000 later, yes?
I ask why not? There's always something better around the corner. And DDR5 isn't going to be a game changer out of the gate, nor is PCIe 5.0 (outside of more/faster lanes available on the mainstream platforms). If you're ready, go get em. The 5000 series from AMD was a game changer. That said, you're on 3000 series which is plenty good enough, so, in your case, I would absolutely wait. Many in your shoes are thinking the same thing.

Can you clue me in to where you are finding ANY stock of the 5950X?
I scour the websites daily and try my luck with the Newegg Shuffle daily and still have not been able to purchase one.

5950x at canada computer kingston . Only 1 left curbside pickup only. Plenty of the 5900x though.
I moved from a Z77 system to a B550 system last November. I initially wanted the 5600X, but was no where to be seen.. I got a sweet deal on a 3600XT to tide me over during Black Friday. I jumped on the 5600X as soon as I could get one a couple of months later, and it is awesome. I do plan on running this system for a while, I will move to DDR5 in a couple of years. I also bought the 5900X last night, so might be here this week..? I am good with AM4 for a bit that's how much I like it 
Of course I will kick myself in a few months.. but that's how it always goes lol..

I already have a 3900X and it is my least amount of cores. I want to replace the original 3950X with the 5950X so I can donate the 3950X to the 3900X host. I am still waiting on my Milan cpu, not expected till August now.
Sadly I have no retail store like a MicroCenter near me. Nearest is 10 hours away at Tustin.

Well I can pickup one for you provided I don't have to drive far. Kingston has 1 about another 6 near by 2 hrs each way. Looking at $1300 Canadian + shipping think another $30 + Ins (no idea). If I can nab the one here in Kingston just cover the costs listed ..... I don't know how customs work for you in the US if this is even a viable option. If you can arrange the shipping I can print a label and drop off. I contract for Canada Post how I would ship and right now we are swamped 14 hr + days and am trying to finish off cutting my fire wood on the weekend so not allot of spare time to run around.

Thanks for the offer. I will decline with gratitude. I am not that desperate yet. I am getting by with my current mix of cpus. Just frustrated as we all are with silicon availability.
Based on the posts on OCN that I follow with Canadian members and their horror stories of getting product through customs and issues with carriers, I will decline your gracious offer to purchase one locally.
There was news some days ago that the refresh won't improve the performance at all. There will be some adjustments but almost nothing worth waiting for. If someone has a good deal on the current 5000 chip then I wouldn't wait. I guess that refreshed AMD chips can have improved power management or higher bins for ~100MHz higher boost on single cores.
I don't think that AMD will make any significant changes till DDR5 so can count on nothing in ~8+ months. They just add new products showing they are still on the top and Intel has nothing worth spending money on with such amount of cores right now. Well, they have good options at 6-8 cores but nothing 12+.
There was another news that AMD is working on "Zen 3+" which should introduce an additional cache that supposed to improve gaming performance. I only wonder if this is refreshed 5000 series or maybe 6000 as AM4 will probably appear as 7000.
There are more questions at this point. I could only ask what's the point to release the improved Zen 3 when Zen 4 will be released "soon"? Or they expect bigger delays, or it's a laptop chip...

There was also news that retail 5000 APU will appear in stores in about 2 months. While I see news about new CPUs, I'm playing with Ryzen 4650G, trying to test the best RAM settings for APU. The quick conclusion is that DDR4-5200+ is a bit faster than anything below, also than DDR4-4400 1:1 IF/IMC. Tweaking timings for DDR4-5400 right now

The AMD keynote happened overnight (early morning) for us in the Euro time zones. I haven't had the chance to watch the original yet, but I got the impression from news sites what they showed was essentially a prototype with no statement of making that into a specific product so far. If they do with Zen 3 or not, might depend on what Intel does and when. Obvious potential problems will be thermals and cost. It seems a safer bet that'll be baked into Zen 4 though.
Also there are some generalisations that need to be addressed at some point. As a cache size increases, it tends to be slower. So you want to optimise the size so that you get the best performance for a given workload. CPUs being more general, you might have to then decide on what types of code you want to run faster. Is AMD targeting gaming?
