"AMD's issue crops up as its rival Intel has taken an increasing amount of criticism for allowing crashing issues to fester for months before announcing a fix days ago. AMD clearly doesn't want to make the same mistake. "

Smart move. I'd much rather a few weeks delay to potentially faulty CPUs.

I wonder if this is why there have been a bunch of reports by reviewers that they haven't gotten samples yet. I'm glad AMD caught this before it got in the hands of end users as it's significantly easier to deal with now and better for everyone.

2 week delay is fine to ensure a proper launch.

They should delay it as long as they need to. Lets not have another incident.

Seem cryptic and might have something to do with encryption.

Let's not have another Intel.

It shouldn't be unprecedented after what happened with the first few batches of Zen 1 chips, though this sounds like a IHS issue, faulty soldering or the like, since they're going to send this first wave back out.

yep same toughts, was Intel able to do so, or they where in a rush to put their faultys in the market ?

The quality issue with AMD's CPUs is called "Intel screwing with us".

Smart move by AMD, BTW.

I'm eagerly awaiting on Intel excusing itself for not having the BIOS ready before the 15th Aug.

Regards.
