AMD delayed the launch of the Ryzen 9000 because they “didn’t live up to expectations.” Exactly why the processors did not live up to expectations and how the company plans to resolve this issue in just two to three weeks is unknown. On the other hand, reviewers will have more time to test new chips. Especially considering that many of them still have not received test samples.
As for the latest Ryzen AI 300 mobile processors based on Zen 5 architecture, their sales are expected to start at the end of this week. Probably, the first reviews of laptops based on these chips will appear at the same time.
