A possible postponement of the launch had already been looming for several days, as the usual briefing, the additional information materials and, of course, the test samples were repeatedly delayed. Inquiries with influencers, larger system integrators and colleagues at home and abroad had also confirmed this picture. Where there is nothing, there is nothing to test. A few samples were in circulation, but the testers were not really happy with them.

AMD justifies this step with processors in circulation that do not meet the required quality standards. You can believe this and find it reasonable. Other voices, however, are mainly talking about software problems in the AGESA, where CPUs with more than one die are said to still have performance disadvantages that they want to fix first. In order to find the truth here, one would actually only have to observe whether the CPUs that have already arrived on the market are really ordered back and replaced.
Nevertheless, AMD can and above all wants to afford to tackle the problems proactively and prefers a clean and delayed rather than a mixed launch. This is, of course also in their own interest, much more honest and purposeful than Intel’s verbal bumbling about the problems with Raptor Lake S, where most communication skills have fallen by the wayside. The whole thing also gives us a little more time and, with a bit of luck, we might even get a little side-kick: Intel’s announced microcode update with the potential small performance drops. Coincidences do happen…
