Intel has once again confirmed that its Alder Lake processors for desktops and laptops will arrive in the second half of 2021, with September also rumored to be the launch month. As VideoCardz discovered, this latest speculation comes from leaker Uniko's Hardware on Twitter, who claims that 600-series motherboards and 12th-gen Alder Lake processors will theoretically arrive six months after Rocket Lake (which is reportedly ready). for release). in March). .

If that's true, then those buying 11th-gen Rocket Lake chips might be a bit upset that their processors are state-of-the-art so soon after purchase. That said, as we mentioned at the beginning, Intel has again confirmed that Alder Lake will arrive before the end of the year, so even a late start to H2 probably only means a few more months between builds. .

Outgoing Intel CEO Bob Swan confirmed: "We will qualify Alder Lake desktops and laptops for production and begin our ramp-up in the second half of 2021." Alder Lake will use a mix of normal cores and low power cores, a similar system to ARM's big.LITTLE technology, with more efficient low power cores capable of running the show when the system is idle or under low stress, the The idea is that battery life can be saved accordingly. This is obviously great for laptops, but where exactly the real benefits lie on the desktop is another matter, a point AMD has lately disputed with some subtle investigation into Intel's apparent path here. .
