AMD Delays Ryzen 9000 Launch 1 to 2 Weeks Due to Chip Quality Issues

by Ryan Smith on July 24, 2024 6:00 PM EST - Posted in - CPUs - AMD - Ryzen - Zen 5 - Granite Ridge - Ryzen 9000 AMD sends word this afternoon that the company is delaying the launch of their Ryzen 9000 series desktop processors. The first Zen 5 architecture-based desktop chips were slated to launch next week, on July 31st.

That AMD is able to re-stage the launch of the desktop Ryzen 9000 chips so quickly – on the order of a few weeks – further points to an issue much farther down the line. Though the need to re-stage the launch still throws a rather large wrench into marketing efforts of AMD and their partners, a post-launch recall would have been far more disastrous on multiple levels, not to mention that it would have given the company a significant black eye. During final checks, we found the initial production units that were shipped to our channel partners did not meet our full quality expectations.
