Sponsor: Thermalright Frozen Prism 360 on Amazon - AMD has delayed the launch of its Ryzen 9000 CPUs (“Zen 5“) to August 15th, with a possibility to ship slightly earlier, due to a non-specific inability to meet “quality expectations.“ The delay affects all four current models: The Ryzen 9 9950X, R9 9900X, R7 9700X, and R5 9600X are all delayed. Again, it is possible some models ship sooner. The current target is August 15th. We expect to get CPUs for reviews in time for this new release date. AMD provided GN with an official statement. We also provide some (mostly for fun) commentary on the current situation as it relates to Intel's huge CPU mess. Maybe AMD is trying to avoid looking like Intel.
