Intel’s Alder Lake processors are expected to hit the shelves in mid-November, or at least that is the cool word of the CPU Grapevine.

To be accurate, this comes from WCCFTECH, which is citing its own sources, as they feed the information on the release date that is supposedly established by November 19.

That is the actual sale date of the 12th gene CPUs, with Intel supposedly revealing the specification, initial internal reference points of performance and prices, a few weeks in advance at the event that take place in San Francisco On October 27 to 28.

That was the rumorery date previously for the revelation of the chips of Lake Alder, as far as it is adjusted to past speculation and, in fact, which could be considered a strong suggestion of Intel that was returned at the end of July.

WCCFTECH believes that a small number of K (more active unlocked models, which can be overclated) and the NO K (standard) chips will initially be used, to go ahead, to follow by “more general variants” in the weeks to follow. The processors, naturally, will be accompanied by the release of the base plates Z690 (it would be quite useless to have the CPUs without boards, because remember that they have a new socket design, so they do not fit with any existing hardware).

Analysis: It seems that it is fine, and obviously there will be no Microsoft connection

Presumably, the initial batch of Alder Lake CPU to go on sale will include the emblematic core I9-12900K, plus the Workhorse Core i7-12700K, and perhaps the I5-12600K rank core (although that could come later), and, Of course, no k variants as mentioned.

The revelation in which it is in the great event of Intel at the end of October makes sense, and is aligned with previous rumors, as mentioned, plus a date for sale, a few weeks by the line that also looks like a good bet ( Or a sound conjecture to do, the more cynical may he feel). In short, all this seems to add, but be careful of anything that floated from the rumor mill as always.

With Microsoft, announcing that Windows 11 will start on October 5 a few days ago, speculation that both the renewed operating system and the Alder Lake chips could go to live at the same time, obviously they have been put to rest. That made sense in some aspects, since the Silicon of the 12th generation of Intel is designed to work better with Windows 11 thanks to the settings on the programmer side (both software and hardware), but it is clearly not going to happen now.

Regardless, with its completely new design and its mix of performance cores and efficiency, there is a lot of emotion about the Alder Lake processors, and how they might not be an excellent news for laptops and battery life, but they could also Become the game Powerhouses eventually.
