Last week, AMD announced that the first Ryzen 9000 series of desktop CPUs would launch on July 31. However, today the processor company announced a slight delay in the release of those powerful PC chips.

In an email sent to Neowin, we received a statement written by Jack Huynh, AMD's SVP and GM of Computing and Graphics. He stated:

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.

In another statement sent to The Verge, AMD spokesperson Stacy MacDiarmid said there were no actual issues with the Ryzen 9000 CPUs themselves. Rather it was discovered that some of those processors did not go through all of the required testing that the company performs. The delay was to make sure all the new chips went through AMD's testing systems.

I guess they have to add the non-oxidizing self destruct layer that Intel forgot to add when they released their 13900k and 14900k chips. /sarcasm


Those who don't know. There is a lawsuit brewing against Intel that their 13900 and 14900 are undergoing rapid silicon aging when ran at their rated max frequency and standard voltage; resulting in latchups and bsod. Folks who bought them to run servers are suffering from massive uptime issues.

I am currently deciding between 8600G and 9600X, in other words guaranteed 5200 vs 5600, so 2 more weeks on top.
