Watch thread for AMD X2

[ewitte]

AMD messed up with their ETA, the CPUs are supposedly just starting shipping to retailers, so they won't start coming until a 1-2 weeks.

OEMs are shipping though and showing up.

And apparently they are highly allocated.

I'm going to be very if it gets moved until after I leave the US. I'll probably have to cancel and wait until next year. Lets just hope its here before July 5th.

yeah me too, I'm here in us until 29:th june, so hopefully it will be here by then, if not...well..I'm going to be very mad too

I talked them on the phone today, they had no X2's In-Stock and didn't know when they'd be receiving them......... Of course they did apologize for the misleading "In-Stock" labeling on their web site...........

[pcdoc1]

Well doesn't this suck. Got the 4800 delayed until the 6-24 (maybe) and now I find the A8N-SLI Premium released today at ZipZoomFly..... The damn box is built, cooling is leak tested and hanging in place, and now I have another choice to make. Guess I've got plenty of time to rebuild the new build, so I guess I'll go for it......

The TigerDirect link shows the X2s as Retail (with fan) but those pics seem to be OEM? Also it still doesnt say they are in stock. Perhaps they diverted (or had diverted) a couple intended for systems?
Strange that they ship whereas others are pushing back ETAs

Is that the extent of the packaging? No shiny black box like retail Venice, Winchesters etc?

[KingGuru]

if only I had the money at this time

The problem is it is backordered everywhere. People have recieved the items from Tiger Direct but that does not mean new orders would get here before Monarch. I'm just sticking where I am since I'm near the top of thier list (ordered within 1 hour after posting on May 31st).

wonder how many they recieved?(monarch).Im 25th(4400+) on the list and have recieved it is being processed now..

[drunkenmaster]

dabs.com in the uk just listed them, £390 for the 4400+ like komplett and much cheaper than ocuk and others in the uk. The 4400+ DID say 10 on order in stock 1-2 days. i ordered one straight away, not sure how many will have been pre-ordered by now.

How do you know your 25th? What time was it on may 31st when you ordered? I assume you had to have ordered the opening day to be 25th on the list. If this is what you recieved its not ready yet:

Thank you for choosing Monarch Computer Systems, Inc. ("Monarch Computer"). Your order has now been submitted to the warehouse for
processing. From this point, please refer to the following processing times prior to shipment:

Parts: 1-2 business days
Combos: 1-3 business days

NOTE - out of stock components may delay the shipping of your order. If the item(s) on your order are out of stock, your order will
not be scheduled for shipping until we have received and processed the backordered inventory in our warehouse.

Overclock are meant to be expecting them in tomorrow (17th) from the looks of things:

Don't you hate companies who post "In Stock" when it clearly isn't?

[xgman]

This is turning out to be another case of announcing products that they simply can't deliver yet. What a let down.

I ordered OEM, and that is how TigerDirect sends OEM CPUs.

Don't hold your breath.

I would not expect retail boxes to start showing up MAYBE until next week or the next.

[Bandit1]

ewitte,you are correct.Just got off the phone with them and there are good hopes of another batch(larger) coming in perhaps on the 24th.Dont hold me to it,i am just relaying what they said.ALL retailers that have recieved any,including monarch,recieved a VERY small batch of assorted x2 cpus.

I got very lucky somehow

[drunkenmaster]

if overclock have given a specific close date they have already shipped to overclock, simple as that. if it was ocuk you could take a 2 day stock warning to mean anything from 2 days to 4 months with lots of, "ooppps, they got held up in customs" in the forums. i'm not sure when the post on news on overclock went up think yesterday which means they are arriving tomorrow i'd expect them to ship tomorrow. tis always possible they will actually get held up in customs, but thats a 1-2 day delay.

funny, ocuk claim to be tight with nvidia, ati, amd, intel everyone and always say they will without doubt have the first stock of everything in the uk, never ever seen that to be the case though :p

as it goes i hope mine from dabs gets shipped tomorrow.

That sucks. Maybe I lost out the 10 minutes I was frantically looking for my credit card. I guess an hour after they posted it was too late.

Monarch lists the X2 4200+ and 4600+ as "in stock" right now.

4800+ ETA 6/24, 4400+ ETA 6/30

http://www.monarchcomputer.com/Merch...ory_Code=AMDdc

Newegg also has the 4600+ in stock right now.

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16819103541


Of course, the 4400+ is the best buy, and probably has the most backorders and ongoing demand.

[ewitte]

Is there still going to be a ~ 6/24 shipment for those that already ordered? I see 6/30 on their website now!! Is that just because 6/24's have already been sold? If it ships on the 30th I don't have time to ebay my 3700+. If its even 1 day after that the order will have to be cancelled Just sent 2nd "question about order status":

Are there any confirmations on the first shipment of 4400+'s from AMD? I'm assuming I am part of the first batch since I ordered almost immediately the day it was posted (5/31). Are there still any going out around 6/24? The date online now says 6/30. If I'm not going to be able to recieve it by the 4th I will need to cancel the order.

[Bandit1]

They mentioned they were hopeful to get a decent batch in by 24th that would at least cover orders till now.fingers crossed for you guys,,
