[Gamers Nexus] AMD Delays Ryzen 9000: “Did Not Meet Quality Expectations”

Looks like AMD saw Intel and is trying to capitalize and learn from Intel's mistake by delaying until they can guarantee a stable launch

Personally I see this as a win for consumers as you're more likely to get a higher quality product by either company (AMD's move here is likely to echo in Intel)

side note: I really love that we are accepting Gamers Nexus as Beehaw's "newspaper of record" for news about computer hardware, and particularly the gaming computer hardware that is GN's beat. They are such a great, independent outlet that rarely pulls its punches. All praise our Savior Tech Jesus!
- Yeah! I only discovered them a couple of weeks ago through this community and they're fantastic.
- This reads like you work for Gamers Nexus and aren't shy about it
  
  I am not, I just been subbed to them for a couple years now and I like when more people like the things that I like.
More time to save up as well!
For those like me who'd rather read than clicking a stupid thumbnail, especially this fucking hairy bloke who keeps spamming his channel over and over again instead of posting articles

- Helpfully, GN has their own website again where you can read this particular article.

- Who is spamming GN videos? Nobody on beehaw, and I am pretty sure the 2 people that post them are not Steve Burke. I get you don't like YouTube, but using a shitty AI summary is also not it. That summary only included the info from the intro and removed a whole ton of context that shows that GN does know what they are talking about and took the 10 minutes to cover a very complex situation. You might want to check out the article version posted by exu and not trust the site you used for summaries.
  
  It's fun that somebody uses a shitty llm for summary and then calls something stupid
- Talk for yourself, a lot of us like GN. I also don't understand the need to be so disrespectful towards Steve.
  
  I think starting a sentence with “For those like me” is a pretty clear indication that someone is speaking for themself
  
  e: i’m just being catty btw, it’s a totally fine use of the phrase
You could see it as bad timing just when they could be cashing in on Intel's troubles, but it does highlight how AMD is being careful about quality control when Intel wasn't, so perhaps it will pay off for them overall.
- The new launch will be right in the middle of Intels proposed fix, so will still be able to cash in on the troubles Intel is facing (especially if it doesn't work right away), while making sure AMD processors don't have a similar fatal flaw. Nothing would be worse than swooping in to take over the share of consumers trying to leave Intel, only to run into their own stability issues.
Oh no, they'll lose sales! ... Unless nobody wants a CPU that's gonna blow up hahahahahahah!
