Rumour suggests desktop CPUs won’t be arriving in September after all
Intel Alder Lake desktop CPUs might not be arriving as soon as first thought, with new rumours pointing to a November launch. While previous speculation suggested the 12th-gen processors could debut in September, Wccftech is now reporting that Intel has recently confirmed to partners that Alder Lake-S will now be launching in November this year. This means, if true, that Alder Lake-S will arrive just eight months after Rocket Lake, and potentially a full year ahead of AMD’s first Zen 4 desktop CPUs. This year-long headstart could spell trouble for AMD, as the report also adds weight to earlier rumors that Alder Lake CPUs – which will be Intel’s first processors to be based on 10nm – will support both PCIe 5.
