16-core 24-thread 10-nanometer flagship Intel Core i9-12900K (Alder Lake) will be presented in September

While many are waiting for the start of sales of Intel Rocket Lake-S processors – the latest 14-nanometer ones, new details have appeared on the Web about the release date of the company’s first 10-nanometer CPUs. If everything goes as the source describes, then Rocket Lake-S are doomed to a short life cycle and scanty sales.

It’s all about timing: if the Roket Lake-S appear in stores in March, then the premiere of Alder Lake, according to new data, will take place no later than six months after that – in September. In this case, users can postpone the upgrade and wait for much more advanced processors – with support for DDR5 memory and PCI Gen5 bus. However, it should be noted that desktop Alder Lake will debut with a new LGA 1700 processor socket, so with a change in CPU, you will have to buy a new motherboard (600 series) and memory. Such an update cannot be called a budget update, but the transition to Rocket Lake now, in fact, is limited only to a change of processor. But the performance gain in this case will not be large either. In any case, the release of two generations of processors almost one after another is a strange step.

Recall that Alder Lake will be manufactured using the 10 nm SuperFin process technology and will be built on the principle of Intel Hybrid Technology with high-performance and energy-efficient cores (just like Arm’s big.LITTLE technology). The flagship of the series will be the Core i9-12900K – with 8 high-performance and 8 energy-efficient cores and the ability to execute 24 threads simultaneously (energy-efficient cores do not support multithreading).
