Yup, we'll se.. Blatantly delayed yet honest
Please describe how 'delayed' it is, for Intel Sapphire Rapids and Arc GPUs, before you call 2 weeks shift 'Blatantly delayed'.

And,
Just as I 've mentioned in #3
You cannot call something is delayed, when there are no official dates being announced yet, and the product is still being lauched within the official launch window.

Normally true, but in recent times, even potential announcement dates are leaked. I cant tell exactly how many of these leaked dates are accurate, but one thing is certain, they have the potential to be on time. As you can read by this release, AMD had planned a launch date, but now push back that date, so its now a delayed date. Simple math right? :D

The last official launch window was always 'Fall 2022' from Lisa back in computex.
Those 'somewhere in August' / '15th September' / '29th September' are all RUMORS
Nothing is confirmed before the 29th Aug announcement.

People are so desperate and had to blame 'imaginary delays' with 'imaginary launch dates'.

Well I'm still on z370 platform from 2017, Quad Ranks 3600mhz RAM just work out of the box

Then I build x570 with R5 3600 for my nephew and every cold boot system cannot POST with RAM above 3200mhz (dual ranks for quad ranks same problem), platform stability is just not ideal. I'm sure AM5 will have plenty of bugs to be iron out.
That's not a platform stability issue, that's overclocking.


No matter what your motherboard says it can achieve*, no matter what the ram says: Zen 2 only supports 3200MHz dual rank.
More ranks or higher clock speeds, is overclocking.
This would be covered in your motherboards QVL list, but to be fair it's not super well documented beyond "upto 3200mhz" on AMD's CPU spec pages

The Zen 1 image that lives on my desktop because of this:

* With a motherboard that supports like 5 different series of CPU's, support varies per CPU. The basic spec pages list what the highest series can do, because yay marketing.

It was meant sarcastically, of course – to counter his claim of being blatantly delayed to allegedly avoid a comparison with Intel's newest stuff.
