AMD Zen 6 and Intel Nova Lake CPUs reportedly arriving late, delayed to CES 2027 — next-gen chips rocked by industry turmoil

Both AMD and Intel are reportedly facing delays in the launch of their next-gen CPUs, with AMD's Zen 6 and Intel's Nova Lake CPUs now expected to arrive in 2027. The manufacturing crisis in the industry may have contributed to these delays, pushing back the release dates beyond initial projections. While there were prior indications of Zen 6 launching in 2026, new information suggests a 2027 release for the Ryzen 10000 "Olympic Ridge" family. Intel's Nova Lake CPUs are also rumored to be delayed, with a potential staggered release starting in Q4 2026 and continuing into CES 2027. These delays come amidst industry turmoil, with rising prices for components like RAM, SSDs, and GPUs impacting the tech landscape.
