The AMD Ryzen 9 3950x has been dubbed as the first 16-core CPU in the world, and it also broke records when it clocked at the fastest speed. With its description and what it is being advertised, no wonder people are trying to get their hands on this item.
It was originally up for release this month, but the date was pushed back to November citing high demands from the consumers. Many were disappointed for the delay, but they said that they would wait again provided that AMD has to make sure to release bug-free products.
The demand is huge
On Sept. 21, AMD posted a note on Twitter and acknowledge that they are not able to supply the number of orders for the AMD Ryzen 9 3950x so they will be working to produce enough to match up the demands. The chipmaker added that they are confident that when tech enthusiasts get their hands on the world’s first 16-core desktop processors, the wait will be worth it.
“We are focusing on meeting the demands for their third generation of AMD Ryzen processors in the market,” AMD stated. “Now we plan to launch both the AMD Ryzen 9 3950x and initial members of the 3rd Gen AMD Ryzen Threadripper processor family in volume this November.”
One commenter said that since it is already delayed, AMD must fix the bugs first to make sure that when the products arrive, there will be no issues. “A lot of people are giving AMD a shot after a long time buying Intel, so, do not release problematic hardware because it may mean a chargeback and a buyer lost,” Arthur Ministro wrote.
Slow clock speeds?
While AMD stated that the delay of AMD Ryzen 9 3950x was due to the high demands, some publications reported that the much-awaited CPU gave out unsatisfactory results when it was tested for clock speeds. They alleged that AMD is trying to fix this, so they had to move the release date to a later date, according to PC Games.
It was added that this reason might be legit because AMD is known to release processors that do not really meet its speeds as advertised. In fact, in a survey conducted by overclocking expert, it found that the majority AMD 9 3000x chips failed to meet their specified speeds.
