Intel announces two generations of defective processors and AMD gives up that opportunity to recall their own launch? Must be something very wrong with the batch.
I'd say it's actually a better market signal rather than indications of huge problems. "See, our competitiors send out defective products; we are holding back to make sure ours ship correctly."
That's exactly what enterprise/datacenter customers want to hear: a dedication to stability.
Nah something fishy
Hanlon's razor, don't overthink it. No need for mindless conspiracy theories based on zero data. If it's aajor concern we'll hear something no doubt.
I think you mean Occam's Razor. AMD signaling responsibility is a simpler explanation as a "dunk" on Intel, them having a similar issue as Intel seems far too coincidental. They're on completely different nodes, so there's no reason their issues would be related.
So my take is that AMD thinks Intel's fix is going to degrade performance significantly, so they want to wait to ensure their launch is as impactful as possible (bigger perf delta, more time to find hardware issues, etc). If AMD can show strength and reliability while Intel suffers, they could snap up much more market share (and improve product availability at launch).
