AMD has been signing off on contracts for CPUs even though it has no idea whether it’ll be able to fulfill all of the required orders in time. That’s according to the company behind the GPD WIN Max 2, which has shared a new post explaining how their new device, a second iteration of its handheld gaming PC, will now be shipping later than expected because AMD “breached the contract,” failing to deliver enough of its Ryzen 7 7840U processors to their suppliers in time. The AMD Ryzen 7 7840U, an 8-core, 16-thread processor that features a Radeon 780M GPU, is capable of running God of War, Elden Ring, and many other popular games at over 60 FPS on lower resolutions and settings, according to infographics shared by GPD HK.
Nice day to you! We are very sorry to inform some our users whose orders have locked but not shipped yet: The original plan is we can ship all the locked orders, but there is no stock now. The reason is that our upstream supplier violated the agreement, and the actual number of 7840U that should be delivered to us is different from the previously agreed quantity did not match. Since it was delivered in batches, they were unable to deliver the second batch of 7840U. It was AMD that breached the contract and could not deliver it to our upstream supplier as agreed upon, so we are now unable to make the production. We apologize for the inconvenience caused!
Currently affected orders include the following configurations:
- 7840U + 64GB + 2TB
- 7840U + 64GB + 2TB+stylus
- 7840U + 64GB + 2TB + GPD G1
- 7840U + 32GB + 2TB
- 7840U + 32GB + 2TB+stylus
- 7840U + 32GB + 2TB+G1
- 7640U + 32GB + 2TB
The shipment of 7640U+16GB+1TB is not affected, we have this configuration stock.
