AMD, a batch of Ryzen 5 3600 was sent to the wrong packaging in China

According to a recent message shared on Facebook by the Chinese website HKEPC, AMD has sent some Ryzen 5 3600 CPUs in packs designed for lower-end processors in China. In fact, a Ryzen 5 3600 recently ordered from the site has arrived inside the box of a Ryzen 3 3200G. AMD had put an adhesive seal on the packaging indicating that the product inside was actually a Ryzen 5 3600, but everything else referred to the less powerful Ryzen 3 3200G.

A recent article published by colleagues from Hardware Times He said that the problem affected an entire batch of Ryzen 5 3600 CPUs for Chinese customers and would have been caused by the decision by the Chinese AMD team to use old packaging instead of waiting for new boxes to arrive. However, it is quite possible that the situation is the result of a simple mistake. Even though the packages actually contained the purchased processors, we must imagine that customers were rather confused and it is good to be careful when ordering components online.

Continuing to talk about AMD, today we also told you about the first ones information relating to the EPYC Milan CPUs arriving by the end of the year, which will be equipped with the new Zen 3 cores and built with the 7nm + production process. Apparently, among the first products that will be equipped with these processors there will be, in all probability, the new Lenovo workstations, as evidenced by a leak that we reported to you a few days ago.

Passing from the server to the laptops, recently the AMD CPU Ryzen 7 Extreme Edition was listed among the components that will be part of the laptop Lavie N15 . The APU should be part of the family Ryzen 4000U (code name Renoir ), and based on the same architecture Zen 2 as for the CPU, and Vega, for what concerns the GPU . Unfortunately, at the time the differences with respect to Ryzen 7 4800U are still not clear, but, according to some considerations, it could have a TDP different, or integrate a GPU-enhanced.
