Most of US sunday duration is on monday in China and Japan.Yeah, I just checked and all the models at BB now show 7/28 as the release date. Releasing on a Sunday, very strange move.

I don't see the relevance. . .
I think AMD doesn't want people benching their laptops before desktop Zen 5 launch and making assumptions about the desktop CPU's performance. This seems like a bad sign. They are expecting a wave of not-so-hot headlines from the media so trying to minimize the impact of it as much as possible.Yeah, I just checked and all the models at BB now show 7/28 as the release date.

Edit : On those two weeks they can build a btter inventory, that s not all to launch somethig, it should be available to more than the first customers that are the fastest at clicking.
Nope.It almost has to be a review thing like Igor suggested.
Yeah, that's the AMD staple.Buggy firmware?

And we are doing this all for Lisa's amusement who I bet gets AI to summarize the best bits daily and then laughs at our speculative theories.Swings of predictions in this thread are on the next level 😆
I guess it could swing in Zen4’s favour then, if Zen5 does not turn out to be as good as predicted by some earlier leaks. I.e. if Zen4 will have lower price, not be much slower, and already has bugs smoked out, it will be a good option.I think if we went just few weeks back in time, most people would assume that the supposed delay is due to unsold stock of Ryzen 7000 series.
Once AMD releases 9000 series, nothing else will sell at anywhere near profitable price ... some would say back then.
That, or AMD completely lied and are trying to cover up their huge flop, lol.
Dates for shipping Zen 5 laptops were pushed back. That's hardly a leak lol.We never knew fixed launch date for Strix from AMD, just that it's in July. So technically there is no last minute delay, just wastly incorrect leaks
Why are we comparing perf/watt without equalizing wattage? Doing so is unfair, IMO.To save everyone a click:
RAM speeds are supported at 6400 MT/s at 1:1.
Can go to 9000 MT/s at 1:2 with 2 DIMMs, 8000 MT/s should be doable for most mobos with 4 DIMMs.
PBO is turned off by default, so power is not pushed out of the box. If you turn on PBO (auto-overclocking), the power will be pushed and the processor will try to clock as high as it can within power and temperature limits (95C or whatever it is).
Regarding Cinebench:
CB23 from AT's review of the 14900KS for reference:
View attachment 102052
If we assume the 9950X (Engineering Sample) can do 41000 points in CB23 MT at 190W while the 7950X does 39300 points at 220W, that's a 24% improvement in perf/W in this particular workload.
It's not the first time when shops put preorders up with their best guess shipping date based around when they are expecting delivery to their warehouse.Dates for shipping Zen 5 laptops were pushed back. That's hardly a leak lol.
Unless you think Bestbuy and Asus were just vastly incompetent and made a random date for the release of this hardware without collaborating with AMD at all, then ye it was delayed.
Maybe it doesn't have to do with AMD, but bestbuy instead, but the fact that there were rumors (by Goldenpig) of the strix launch date being pushed back before changes were even made on bestbuy's website makes this seem like this was a push made by, at the very least, OEMs, and not the retailers themselves.
AMD will have a better performing part but they still want to capture market share, there is no conspiracy here.Why do you think there's rumors of low Zen5 prices?
9000
AMD is not a software company. They always do the cheapest possible bare minimum with a lot of duct tape. Those glorious Kaveri firmware days...Yeah, that's the AMD staple.

Well lets wait for benchmarks then. "Slower" can be marginally slower as well.AMD already admitted that it's slower than the 7800X3D in games... which is a big problem.
Yes and slower might also be on average but in some games it might be better than 7800X3D and if the user is only interested in that one favorite game showing a good performance benefit, Zen 5 may look more attractive to them.Well lets wait for benchmarks then.
