AMD Delays Launch of Ryzen 9000 Series Processors
In a statement published today shortly after the release of a batch of new Zen 5 architecture details, AMD's computing and graphics SVP Jack Huynh released a statement regarding a delay to the release of the Ryzen 9000 processors based on Zen 5. Originally set to launch in just one week on July 31st, the processors have now been pushed back to a staggered release on August 8th and August 15th; one and two weeks after the initial launch window. AMD supposedly found some of the launch inventory processors did not go through proper testing procedures before being shipped out, and AMD is recalling those processors before any potential problems could have a chance to affect the first customers to buy the new chips.
The statement is as follows:

The statement is as follows:
We appreciate the excitement around Ryzen 9000 series processors. During final checks, we found the initial production units that were shipped to our channel partners did not meet our full quality expectations. Out of an abundance of caution and to maintain the highest quality experiences for every Ryzen user, we are working with our channel partners to replace the initial production units with fresh units. As a result, there will be a short delay in retail availability. The Ryzen 7 9700X and Ryzen 5 9600X processors will now go on sale on August 8th and the Ryzen 9 9950X and Ryzen 9 9900X processors will go on-sale on August 15th. We pride ourselves in providing a high-quality experience for every Ryzen user, and we look forward to our fans having a great experience with the new Ryzen 9000 series.

It's not like I would normally buy any new architecture the first three months anyways…
Or that it's a fairly small batch they've identified and are pulling those units from shelves. We'll know in a couple of weeks I guess
Either way, it's absolutely not a good thing but better do it before launch than after I guess
7950X3D was the first time I took a cpu for a test drive for a build and was like nah dog I'll wait it really felt like a beta product. Once it hit $475 I was like the hoops might finally be worth jumping through to get it working all the time properly. I do like it now.
Intel with all the degradation and oxidation issues or whatever they want to call it. What really grinds my gears is a buddy tried to rma one late 2023 and Intel was like na dog even though they apparently knew they had issues Amazon had to bail intel out on that one after the normal return period but that just shouldn't happen. They gave him the 125w long power duration bs and running ram without XMP which is fine if they make reviewer test them in that configuration but they don't.
AMD is waiting for Intel 's so-called "fix" to drop
Then having the 9950x smashing the handicapped 14900k (By Intel's own-doing)
Intel: “The motherboard companies made us do it.”
Still I wonder why so close to launch literally 7 days out they've finally realized there was issues. They should have been validating retail samples months ago.
I've seen retail samples be posted with 2023 diffusion dates, Bitwit had one. So it's not like these cpus at least some sku haven't been ready for a while.
Part of me thinks they were like F it just launch them they are close enough saw all the intel shite and were nevemind lol.
Its really strange how intel and Ngreedia keep getting free passes but AMD is always scrutinized with the knob on 11.
Anyway, a delay of a couple of weeks to mitigate makes me think that the issue is minor or as others say, a brilliant move, since the trash being sold by intel its going to get slower after the mitigation patches are released so the reviews will be even better (and truthful) on their favor. Funny how its never intel fault, but their partners…
Or maybe the new AI (SenseMI with updates?) Isn't working properly? GPT misunderstood something?
Either way, I'm eager to see some end user results after some time with bios updates for memory compatibility and such!
There is always some "Insider" doing this kind of stuff for money / fame
Looks like AMD cannot have smooth Zen CPU line-up launch, except Zen+ :D
Zen1 - MBO OEM BIOS issues + RAM incompatibility
Zen+ - SMOOTH operator
Zen2 - BIOS issues, AutoOC/Boost issues
Zen3 - X370/B350 MBO Bios updates held 18 months
Zen4 - look at Zen1
Zen5 - delay due to lesser level of QA
