MLID as the source so questionable straight away. that said AMD laptop chip release dates mean nothing at all. release date could be January and the first laptop on the shelf might be in March
And then the first laptop you might actually want to buy releases in June. And then OEM decides for some stupid reason to put arbitrary configuration limitations like max of 16GB of memory or only up to 300 nit 1080p panel unless you shell out for the OLED model. And then you find out the OEM does actually have a perfect version of that laptop with everything you want, but it's releasing exclusively to china or something. Then once the perfect device is finally available, AMD is about to announce their next generation of chips. You don't want to be a gen behind, so you decide to wait for the new devices with these new chips, and the cycle repeats.
Yeah March. Of the following year
MLID isnt a good source, but Charie at SemiAccurate was also suggesting delays weeks ago, he has his own reliability issues, but their 'sources' are probably different.

But yeah, AMD has a bad habit of announcing mobile chips, only to have 1-2 designs launch in the next month, while the majority take 4-6 months to hit shelves. AMD mobile parts announced at CES ends up truly showing up in like June.
