Gigabyte has confirmed there are problems with AMD’s new 760 DDR chipset, launched just two days ago and has delayed shipping its new GA-7DX mobo as a result.

The reason is do to an unspecified reason that AMD is currently investigating and until the severity of the issue can be determined the new DDR bound mobos wont be shipping on time.

The implication is that systems and boards are unlikely to be available until December at the earliest. The delay follows AMD’s admission that SMP Athlons won’t ship until the middle of next year.

An AMD representative said they were unaware of any issues with the 760 and said systems were available in Europe from NEC. This came as news to NEC’s telesales operation who advised us that while 760 systems were scheduled to be available now, they were not expected to ship until the very end of November at the earliest, with December being more likely.
