I very much doubt the delay for Zen5 processors is because of a typo. Sure, that could cause some confusion among buyers, but it doesn't explain the delay for review samples as a simple email explaining the mistake and that it would be fixed in retail products would be more than enough.

It's a weird error, but not the main cause of the delay.

I'm not saying is the reason for sure but whatever the issue is can't be anything severe. The delay is only 1-2 weeks. There isn't enough time for AMD to do anything substantial. It sounds like the amount of time it would take for vendors to ship back what ever inventory they've received and for AMD to deliver replacements.

Indeed, but something like this number mistake wouldn't affect the samples for reviewers.

The packaging problem we've heard about before seems more likely, but we still don't know for sure what that problem may be. It could be something like the first batch of processors having issues with heatspreader, causing thermal troubles in some units. Who knows.
