AMD delayed Ryzen 9 3950X launch due to unsatisfactory clock speeds?

New Products

Summary

A few days ago weve reported that the AMD Ryzen 9 3950X 16-core part has been delayed and pushed back towards November. However, they have a source that claims that AMD has problems reaching unsatisfactory clock speeds with the sixteen core part. For them to be able to reach advertised clock frequencies on their many-core part (16c/32t) AMD likely it difficult for themselves, as it is the fastest boosting product, it has the most cores and it has two 8-core processor dies. To reach the advertised boost frequency of that impressive 4.7 GHz on a single core AMD has to bin all dies, gauntlet sort them for the best units if you will. We have no doubt that AMD will be able to out the product at advertised performance, but what volume will be available in November remains an open question.
