AMD Ryzen 9000 Debut Pushed Back By Few Weeks Amid Quality Concerns

Expert Verified By

Small Setback For AMD's Latest CPU Generation!

Story Highlight
  • AMD has announced a delay for its Ryzen 9000 CPUs, originally scheduled for July 31.
  • It identified a packaging test and validation system issue, leading to a shortage of review samples needed for benchmarking before launch.
  • Despite the setback, AMD emphasized that the production process and the CPUs are not flawed.

AMD has announced a delay in releasing its Ryzen 9000 CPUs, which were scheduled to go out on July 31. The launch dates have also been split: on August 15, the Ryzen 9 9950X and 9900X will go on sale.

Why it matters: Many PC gamers were getting ready for this launch. The delay, while very short, means that they can no longer have new PCs up and running in August immediately.

 

The Ryzen 7 9700X and Ryzen 5 9600X will go on sale a week earlier, on August 8. This week, concerns about review sample availability were raised because there were no samples for reviewers, and the launch was only one week away.

To allow reviewers adequate time to benchmark, they are often distributed a few weeks before launch. AMD responded to inquiries by saying that a packaging test and validation system issue was discovered during their ongoing validation of the initial production material.

This could have resulted in a small percentage of Ryzen 9000 CPUs not matching their quality standards. The samples that have been dispatched to its channel partners are currently being replaced.

Nevertheless, there won’t be enough samples for a July 31st launch.

AMD hasn’t gone into detail about the problems just yet, but it has emphasized that neither the production process nor the CPUs themselves were problematic. That being said, AMD deserves praise for taking this action.

Although these situations happen, it’s best to address problems as soon as they arise, even if it means waiting a few more weeks for reviews and retail availability.
