AMD has delayed the release of Ryzen 9000 processors due to a labeling error and testing issues. New release dates have been moved to August.
AMD Ryzen Delay
Unexpected Delay
AMD announced a postponement of the release date of Ryzen 9000 series processors. The delay will be more than a week, which caused considerable surprise among users and experts. It is believed that the cause could have been an unfortunate mistake in the labeling of the chips.
Labeling error
Photos of the AMD Ryzen 7 9700X processor appeared on the Internet, on the case of which the Ryzen 9 9700X model was incorrectly indicated. Specialists from Tom's Hardware confirmed the presence of such inaccuracies, also finding a Ryzen 5 9600X with incorrect Ryzen 9 labeling.
Product recall
Although there is no official confirmation, it was this oversight that could have caused the delay in sales of AMD Ryzen 9000 processors. The company announced a recall of all chips supplied to retailers and PC manufacturers for further verification.
AMD Official Position
In its statement, AMD indicated that an issue was discovered during testing of Ryzen 9000 series products. This could lead to to the entry into the market of a small batch of products that do not meet the company’s quality standards. AMD representatives have so far refrained from making additional comments.
New release dates
AMD originally planned to release the Ryzen 7 9700X and Ryzen 5 9600X on July 31, but now their release has been postponed on August 8th. The Ryzen 9 9950X and Ryzen 9 9900X processors are expected on August 15th.

What a twist! AMD delays Ryzen 9000 release due to typo? 🤔 Looks like someone in the marketing department screwed up big time.
Sophie
Yes, Liam, such mistakes can be costly. I can imagine the panic at AMD right now. But maybe this is for the better? Taking extra time to check quality never hurts.
Juan
Sophie, I agree! It’s better to spend a week fixing it than to deal with dissatisfied customers later. Although, of course, competitors can take advantage of this hitch 😅
Klaus
It's all nonsense. Previously, processors were released without any typos or delays. And now they make a fuss over every little thing. Why do we need these constant updates anyway? They just siphon money out of people.
Chiara
Klaus, don't be such a grump! 😄 Technology does not stand still, and it’s good that AMD cares about quality. It's better to wait a week than to receive a defective product.
Pierre
I wonder how this will affect prices? 🤑 Maybe you should hurry up and buy a previous generation processor before they become more expensive due to the delay of new products?
Liam
Pierre, I don’t think a week will have much effect on prices. But AMD's reputation may suffer. Although, if they honestly admit the mistake and correct it, it may even increase customer confidence.
Olena
I think this is a great PR move! 😎 Now everyone is talking about the new Ryzen. And the story is funny - who doesn’t make mistakes? The main thing is that AMD quickly reacted and corrected the situation.
