News AMD may have delayed Ryzen 9000 launch due to a typo — mislabeled Ryzen 7 chip emerges, Ryzen 5 9600X impacted, too [Updated]

[Reality_checker]

Intel benchmarks numbers are now deemed irrelevant since the CPUs are not even stable...

Well, by posting things like this, you will only get people to block you...

Given the speed of the re-validation they are doing... I almost suspect it is something cosmetic like a misprint of the SN on the IHS..

According to a buddy who works at Microcenter, they have already gotten the first shipment of "re-validated" chips in and the only reason for the delay is that they would not have had the full stock by the 31st. .

I feel slightly vindicated that I posted that last Friday before this news broke lol

Well, in order to avoid being MISLEADING, they should name them as follows:

9600X => Ryzen 3 9300X (competes with entry-level Intel offerings)
9700X => Ryzen 5 9550X (loses to Intel's x600K SKUs)
9900X => Ryzen 7 9650X (loses to Intel's x700K SKUs)
9950X => Ryzen 9 9880X (competes with Intel's x900K SKUs)

9800X3D => Ryzen 5 9500X3D (multi-core performance on par with Intel's previous-gen x600K SKU)

Toms Hardware - in which world apart from where sensationalism rules is this
"AMD originally scheduled its launch date for July 31 but will now launch the Ryzen 7 9700X and Ryzen 5 9600X processors on August 8. The higher-end Ryzen 9 9950X and Ryzen 9 9900X will be delayed until August 15. " the same as "several weeks"?

This is just a small example, but the tendency seems to creep in most places in the articles on TH. I really wish TH would stick to just reporting facts and analysis. Leave the attempts to make mountains out of molehills to the tabloids

Sex sells, or in this case clickbait gets views, ads get impressions.. Future Publishing gets paid.

I remember Future as the publishers of PCPlus, a paper magazine that has sadly gone the way of the dodo. A pity, it used to be a good read.
