AMD is delaying the availability of its new Ryzen 9000 Series desktop processors. The company says that a quality control issue with the initial units that were sent out, and therefore necessitated the postponement.
Jack Hunyh, SVP and GM of Computing and Graphics, AMD, confirmed the delay via his X, formerly Twitter account:
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.
So, just to be clear, the new availability dates for the Ryzen 9000 Series are 8 August for the 9600X and 9700X, and 15 August for the 9900X and 9950X.
