Just a couple of weeks ago we reported that Intel was on-track to launch its codenamed Lunar Lake-V platform for laptops in September and then start sales of unlocked codenamed Arrow Lake-S processors for desktop computers in October. Today, a new rumor emerged that Intel's Arrow Lake-S will only be available for sale this December, which could mean a delay. As ever with rumors, take the news with a pinch of salt.
Hardware leaker @9550pro did not reveal their source, but indicated that a claim (made by Jaykihn on X, formerly Twitter) saying that Arrow Lake-S is set to reach its QS milestone only on the 40th week of 2024 (late September – early October) corroborates his information as it takes no less than three to four months to get from QS (quality samples) to start of actual product shipments (i.e., desktop PCs in this case).
