AMD postpones Ryzen 9000 launch due to quality problems

Translation: machine translated
The market launch of the new AMD Ryzen 9000 has been postponed. Processors with six and eight cores will be released on 8 August. Those with twelve and 16 cores on 15 August.
The first batch of the new Ryzen 9000 processors sent to sales partners is experiencing quality problems. AMD has not defined what these problems are. However, the company is now consistently recalling all deliveries made to date. The new CPUs were actually due to be released at the end of July.
New Ryzen 5 9600X and Ryzen 7 9700X with six and eight cores will be released on 8 August. The more powerful Ryzen 9 9900X and 9950X with twelve and 16 cores will go on sale on 15 August. AMD has practically pulled the ripcord at the last second. However, the two-week delay should be enough to ensure that the end customer does not receive defective goods.
The new Ryzen 9000 series for desktop is based on the Zen 5 architecture and is manufactured using the 4 nm process. It is the successor to Ryzen 7000 (Zen 4). However, the new Ryzen AI 300 for laptops - the successor to the Ryzen 8000 for laptops - will not be delayed. These are on track and should find their way to customers in the coming days. <p
