1. AMD has delayed the launch of its Ryzen 9000 series desktop processors by one to two weeks due to quality issues with the initial production units. 2. The launch will now be staggered, with the Ryzen 5 9600X and Ryzen 7 9700X launching on August 8th, and the Ryzen 9 9900X and Ryzen 9 9950X on August 15th. 3. The delay is also due to AMD needing to recall and replace the first batch of chips sent to distributors.
