Meanwhile, an early benchmark of the flagship Ryzen 9 9950X is setting a new clock speed record.

Although there is no official confirmation about it, Tom’s Hardware also reportsseeing chipswith erroneous markings.

When AMD unveiled Zen 5 last month, it outlined two Ryzen 9 models: the 9900X and 9950X.

A typo might be the reason for the Zen 5 delay – meanwhile, the 9950X scores a record 6.5GHz in Cinebench

These typos fit AMD’s vague description of packaging-related issues causing the Zen 5 delay.

Although relatively minor, the problem could cause significant confusion for retailers and customers.

Hopefully, the labeling mishap is the only issue AMD discovered.

In other related news, the Ryzen 9 9950X set a new overclocking record at the China Joy event.

The temperature reached 164.2 Celsius despite Tony’s generous system of LN2 coolant.

Experienced overclockers might be able to push it even further.
