  Right, should be on the shelf in a month or so. I wonder what kind of deal made these 5 months of Lenovo exclusivity worthwhile for AMD.

    I was actually shocked. I have friends in a biz high in the food chain so I typically can get a small number of what they get at cost + pay us for shipping. Sometime in October a bug bit me and I decided I was going to build myself a kick ass workstation to replace my aging 4790k and a server for VMs/containers. I did all the specs and build outs, including figuring out how I was going to change my "office" at home to accommodate additional gear. Imagine my surprise when my contacts said "Yeah, that's not happening. We can't get any."

    I wouldn't count on it, the motherboards are also currently catered towards system integrators. > The vendor, when asked about on-shelf availability, said that they don't particularly plan on doing a full retail packaging, but should AMD push the TR Pro CPUs into the consumer channel, they will prepare the appropriate boxing. In that light, as it stands, it looks like it will depend on AMD to decide if they want to enable the regular consumer retail channel. https://www.anandtech.com/show/16396/the-amd-wrx80-chipset-a-few-boards-for-3rd-gen-threadripper-pro https://www.anandtech.com/show/16396/the-amd-wrx80-chipset-a...
