I am spoiled on the desktop side ;)

Without shortages they will sell all they can produce in months, even without “Black” mark on boxes. And finally makes some money on CPUs as well.

I had to stare at it for an hour or so but it finally sank in that I now have an X4 CPU. Thankyou, thankyou, thankyou!

His CPU actually read as Engineering Sample, even though he purchased it on NewEgg. I wonder if all AMD chips can do this, or just select ones that used to be engineering samples.

In any case, consumer wins ;)
