AMD has postponed the launch of its Ryzen 9000-series desktop processors, originally scheduled for late July, to August due to quality concerns with the initial production units. The six- and eight-core Ryzen 9600X and 9700X will now be available on August 8, while the 12- and 16-core Ryzen 9900X and 9950X are set to launch on August 15. AMD stated that during final checks, the initial units did not meet their quality expectations, prompting the decision to replace them with new units to ensure a high-quality experience for users. Although AMD has implemented additional screening for the processors, specific details about the issues and the nature of the fixes have not been disclosed. The manufacturing process and silicon remain unchanged, and the recalled units will be sent back to partners after re-screening. The Ryzen 9000 series follows the Ryzen 7000 series and is designed to be compatible with existing AM5 motherboards, requiring only a BIOS update. AMD emphasizes power efficiency in the new chips while promising performance improvements in both single- and multi-core workloads.

4 commentsHere's hoping the end product is good in August! I'm itching to see how the 9800 X3D (or whatever SKU it is) ends up performing, given how great the 7800 X3D has been.
I'll probably get a 9950X when the next GPU generation comes out. I hear the three big PC GPU vendors will be launching GPUs at the next CES.
