AMD Delays Launch of Ryzen 9000 Series Processors

In a statement published today shortly after the release of a batch of new Zen 5 architecture details, AMD's computing and graphics SVP Jack Huynh released a statement regarding a delay to the release of the Ryzen 9000 processors based on Zen 5. Originally set to launch in just one week on July 31st, the processors have now been pushed back to a staggered release on August 8th and August 15th; one and two weeks after the initial launch window. AMD supposedly found some of the launch inventory processors did not go through proper testing procedures before being shipped out, and AMD is recalling those processors before any potential problems could have a chance to affect the first customers to buy the new chips.
