I was just passing on something claimed by the largest computer parts review site in China. They claimed that their site has been required not to release their review until tomorrow, the owner of the site further claimed that there are two batches of reviews and his site is in the second batch for obvious reasons.

See the url in my replies.

FWIW, at the AMD event in Texas last month where the Ryzen 7000 series was announced, everyone was given the same embargo date... Mostly all the US and EU reviewers there.

Maybe the China/Asia review briefings or so are going with a different date based on different retail availability or so? Hadn't heard of some reviewers getting a different embargo date, typically see that usually only for different geo availability or if getting a sample from a motherboard OEM / other partner and not the CPU company review embargo.

Could also be a TZ issue, where they have a clock time, and that clock time ends up ending up at different dates in practice.
