Last week, AMD announced that they would be pushing back the launch of their flagship 3rd Gen Ryzen processor, the Ryzen 9 3950X, to November. Several insiders reported that the delay might be due to TSMC’s 7nm capacity as there was increased demand for 7nm but Digitimes report that production and supply issues aren’t the main culprit.

According to Digitimes, it is now being reported that the main reason to which AMD delayed the Ryzen 9 3950X is due to unsatisfactory clock speeds. The 3rd Gen Ryzen processors offer stellar performance no doubt but soon after launch, it was revealed that the processors were unable to hit their boost frequencies as AMD had advertised. This led AMD to release a BIOS fix which some what fixed the issue and delivered better overall performance than what we got initially, however, there’s still room for improvement and I am sure AMD is definitely working to issue future updates for their newly released Ryzen 3rd Gen processors.
