AMD's Ryzen Launch Processors Sold Out at Major Retailers
AMD's Ryzen launch may have been marred only by some unrealistic expectations on what is really an excellent all-around chip, which apparently prompted some knee-jerk pre-order cancelations and a stock tumble for AMD. However, it would seem AMD built-up enough momentum with its Ryzen launch so as to provoke some shortages in major retailers, despite the company announcing a million-strong launch stock for Ryzen.
All in all, Amazon and Fry's have no more stock of any Ryzen 7 processor and Newegg, which was supposed to carry boxed versions of the processor, is only selling it as part of a number of pre-built rigs. Demand has been higher than supply when it comes to Ryzen ever since AMD opened pre-orders for its prodigal child. Let's hope these are sorted out, and that AMD can feed the consumers' hunger for a long-time coming viable (as in, mesmerizingly great) alternative to Intel.

EDIT; JayzTwoCents did a video talking about and showing gaming stats for Ryzen. I think he did a good job running the chip through it's paces at 1080p. It's worth a look.
AMD profit on Ryzen will exceed Intel's profit on X99 platform, Z270 or X299.
For now Intel best profit from X99 and I doubt they will beat that with X299.
But AMD will sell Ryzen 5 and 7 next 3 years. I know them... There is a lot of customers with old i5 and FX8350 who still need to update their systems. I even think that AMD will sell more Ryzen during 2018 than 2017. Special if they launch one more model over 1800X below 500$.
Although, it does sell quite well:
