AMD Confirms 7040HS Phoenix APUs Shipped to OEMs

AMD has already announced that its Ryzen 7040HS laptop processors will be shipping in April, missing its original March date. As these are still nowhere to be seen on retail/e-tail shelves, AMD has now confirmed these chips have shipped to OEMs, and it is just a matter of time before these laptops become available.

Speaking to Tom's Hardware, AMD representative confirmed that the company has start to ramp production of Ryzen 7040 series chips, started shipping those chips last quarter, and the first Ryzen 7040HS systems should hit retail/e-tail "over the next several weeks". As said, it appears that AMD's original statement regarding the delay was about shipping those chips to OEMs, rather than OEMs shipping actual products.
AMD's Ryzen 7040 HS-series processors have been announced back at CES 2023, and includes three SKUs, the 8-core/16-thread Ryzen 9 7940HS and Ryzen 7 7840HS, and 6-core/12-thread Ryzen 5 7640HS. All of these SKUs have a 35-45 W TDP.

"We did start to ramp production of those Ryzen 7040 Series [chips]. Our OEM partners have started shipping those systems. Largely, the 7040HS systems. So those should hit e-tail and retail over the next several weeks. We started shipping last quarter, and those systems should be available in the next several weeks", said AMD representative to Tom's Hardware.

Hopefully, these laptops will show up on retail/e-tail shelves sooner rather than later.
