Intel Arrow Lake-S: launching on October 24?

While it was announced that the upcoming Intel Core Ultra 200 also known as Arrow Lake-S Desktop processors were supposed to arrive in early October, but now the launch has been postponed to October 24. Just a few days ago, the latest information pointed to an announcement around October 6, with a commercial launch on 10/17/2024. So we have another week to wait. At the same time, Intel's motherboard partners are also having to postpone the launch of their boards.

Arrow Lake-S (a little) delayed?

We know that some official distributors have already received official information about the launch of the processors (and their prices). This explains The latest price leakswhich originate from electronic flows exchanged between wholesalers and Intel. The first wave of Arrow Lake-S processors will consist only of “performance” versions, i.e. the K and KS versions. The same will apply to motherboards, as only the Z890 chipset It should hit retail shelves in late 2024. To see or buy the non-K versions and motherboards equipped with the B860 and H810 chipsets, we'll probably have to wait at least until CES 2025 (early January).

It is important to note that all dates and information about the versions that will be released are not official data from Intel. At the moment, Intel has been extremely stingy with information about the processors that will succeed the 13th and 14th generation… Two generations that will leave their mark on passionate users who trust Intel.

As we have reiterated in several previous news roundups, Arrow Lake-S will not appear Hyperprocessingand the K versions will no doubt be backed by the KF versions at launch.
