Out of an “abundance of caution” AMD is delaying the launch of its Zen 5 Ryzen 9000 series desktop processors, which were set to debut on July 31, 2024. Now, the launch date has been scheduled for August 8 for the Ryzen 7 9700X and Ryzen 5 9600X, and August 15 for the Ryzen 9 9950X and Ryzen 9 9900X.
