yup, you can actually buy them in many countries now. for example here in switzerland the following shop has many asus models in stock since yesterday:Strix Point is on schedule right?
Lol, the real burning question is, how'd you get your grubby mitts on one?The only thing i will say is that i dont use LN2 nor dry ice, runs were done with my large loop watercooling.
GB runs were done with PBO CO + baseclock (not allcore static OC)
Some Bits from Computerbase:
-nobody had review samples, so nobody can tell if the SKUs are really taken back and switched out
-AMD knew about a problem for weeks, so they put 31th as release and tried fixing it until then.
-AMD specifically told the press on AMD Tech day over 2 weeks ago that supply of Ryzen 9 SKUs will be (extremely) tight.
-with these info, Computerbase Editor definitely thinks what AMD said to the Verge isn't the truth.
-However, he doesn't know the real reason
Overall it makes me think my Yield Theory gets increasingly more likely. There must be something different for the big SKUs and the only real difference is higher boost clocks.
Yes, the source is a forum post.Source is forum posts or what?
Is 3600uclk and 2400fclk possible or is the italian guy delusional ?The only thing i will say is that i dont use LN2 nor dry ice, runs were done with my large loop watercooling.

Doubt it. Why would Det0x use older Geekbench? And why balanced power plan?+ another score propably of him https://browser.geekbench.com/v6/cpu/7045730

5.95GHz stock would have been possible with N3E thanks to FinFlex. Sucks that desktop won’t get 3nm anytime soon.
Maybe, maybe not. Surface area, power density, and core architecture have a lot to do with it as well. Considering Intels current plight, I think all companies are now very wary of chasing frequencies >2.5x that of microwave ovens.5.95GHz stock would have been possible with N3E thanks to FinFlex. Sucks that desktop won’t get 3nm anytime soon.
That GB4 score is impressive to me. GB4 is the one I cut my Ryzen benchmarking teeth on. I remember being impressed when 2700X was just able to crack 5000 ST (still ~15% behind 8700K at the time).
Terrible. I was at least hoping they'd allow reviews to come out on the 31st. This must be more than a packaging issue. Theres zero reason some words and numbers printed on a cardboard box or IHS of the CPU should cause such review delays.Review embargo dates are out, 1 day before release
9600X + 9700X @ august 7
9900X + 9950X @ august 14

It seems MLID is right about the bugs after all.Terrible. I was at least hoping they'd allow reviews to come out on the 31st. This must be more than a packaging issue. Theres zero reason some words and numbers printed on a cardboard box or IHS of the CPU should cause such review delays.
It could be a very simple oversight due to lack of communication between departments.The fact the delay is only two weeks and affects desktop parts only makes me believe there is no hardware problem.
Reviewers need the time to test the cpu, many said it would not be possible to make it in time for 31st if they got CPUs now.Terrible. I was at least hoping they'd allow reviews to come out on the 31st. This must be more than a packaging issue.

Blame Apple. They didn't leave enough available capacity for anyone else. And they drove the N3 prices up too!Sucks that desktop won’t get 3nm anytime soon.
Its clearly lack of cores issue. Theyre gluing in more as we speakAccording to AMD, it is not a design or packaging issue, but that they discovered that not all chips that were sent out went through QA, so they are sending out new chips to make sure they were properly tested before being sold/reviewed. See post #16,557.
Edit: If it was an actual issue with the chips, there's no chance they would be able to get them fixed and new ones out the door within a week or two. It would have to be either the QA testing miss as explained, or something wrong with the microcode/firmware that they could fix and push out quickly.
Excuses. They could choose some important benchmarks and do a quick "preview". And they could certainly complete all the benchmarking for the comparison/competing CPUs that they have in hand already.Reviewers need the time to test the cpu, many said it would not be possible to make it in time for 31st if they got CPUs now.
