Well you don't see this with every CPU launch:

It will require a UEFI update to fix the problem. With other BIOS anomalies going on, and the shortage (high demand for sure) causing price gouging, I think 7/7 was a "Push it on that date or else!" rather than a "We'll sit on our butts and wait for the symbolic 7/7 to launch".
Also worth mentioning that this seems to affecting some Linux distros as well:
AMD, great engineering, eternally poor marketing.

In this case, there may be an issue with how Rdrand instructions are being issued on AMD processors. According to Michael Larabel, there’s some evidence of Linux hiccups on the new AMD CPUs as well, and the new CPUs are having some issue booting certain Linux distributions.
