The chip giant still did not submit at Intel’s Arrow Lake-S, a new generation of high-performance desktop processors that will compete with AMD’s Ryzen 9000, although it alludes to them to some extent, and thanks to the various leaks that have occurred during the last months, we have a pretty good idea about what to expect.

The big question we have right now is when Intel Arrow Lake-S will launch. I remember that the first information I presented at the presentation in September launch in October, data that matches the strategy that Intel followed in previous generations, such as the Raptor Lake Refresh. However, a new rumor suggests that a major delay could be coming and that the Intel Arrow Lake-S It will not arrive until December 2024.

This is a rumor that has no confirmation, but the theory it reveals makes sense. Intel Arrow Lake-S will reportedly enter the production phase “quality samples” between late September and early October, and will need at least three more months to enter the commercial distribution phase, allowing these new processors to hit stores. If confirmed, we should delay of about two months.

This is obviously bad news for Intel because AMD would be left alone in the market with its Ryzen 9000 from July 31st by December, which would give it a significant advantage in the first phase of deploying its new processors. This would affect the K-series Intel Arrow Lake-S processors, but could also have some impact on the release date of the non-K models, which would normally arrive in January 2025.

That being said, it’s important Keep two things in mind. The first is that the source of the rumor does not clarify whether it refers to the Intel Arrow Lake-S K series or non-K models. The most logical thing is that it refers to the first, since those were the ones that were caused to arrive at the end of the year, while the models non-K’s are always gone early next year.

Second, it should be noted that it is also possible that Intel decides to launch sa on paper very limited availability in Octoberand that general availability takes place between November and December. These types of launches have occurred on multiple occasions, so we cannot rule it out. We’ll see how this all pans out, but as always, these types of rumors should be taken with a grain of salt.
