Report: Intel Alder Lake-S to Launch on November 4th
Videocardz today reported on one of the fundamental questions regarding Intel's upcoming Alder Lake: its release date. According to the publication, and citing industry sources, Intel is planning to launch Alder Lake-S come November 4th, 2021. The 12th Gen family of Intel core processors can not come soon enough for the blue giant, who sees itself embattled against the David-like rise of AMD via its Zen architecture. Especially if they do materialize with a 27% single-thread performance improvement over Zen 3.
The release date was first originally referenced by an MSI press release regarding the availability of an upgrade kit for its MAG Coreliquid K and MPG Coreliquid X - both AIO solutions will require new mounting mechanisms for Alder Lake's LGA 1700 socket, and their release is pegged to November 4th as well - this prompted the industry insider sources to confirm the release date. According to WCCFTech, the actual release timeline for the announcement and pre-orders is set for October 27th, whilst the actual product launch and review embargo lifts on November 4th, which is the market availability date.

where is my 12900k?
I think Intel just went all in on the lakes meme after all.
Let's hope this one is deeper than a pond. Indeed. One thing is for sure, you can set those limits to the moon. Not sure what burns down around you when you do, but you can.
It's a mixed bag with DDR5 being in it's early infancy, but it could be a bit better in certain memory tasks and perhaps worse in others. In particular two DIMM's of DDR4 might be rather close to four DIMM's of DDR5 because of the extra stress on the memory controller. One last aspect of the DDR4/DDR5 situation is the memory controller itself how will the two impact the CPU itself outside of memory performance what about thermals and TDP?
I'm wonder about this due to Zen 5 Threadripper HEDT/Workstation from AMD the TDP differs by 35W based on the two platforms though one is 4 channel and the other is 8 channel. In the case of Intel DDR5 is roughly double the bandwidth of DDR4 I don't know if the added TDP is mostly attributed due to additional DIMM slots themselves or the bandwidth or combination of the two. I'm also uncertain is the 35W TDP is just 64c version on the workstation 8-channel board or the entire lineup. The interesting part with Zen 5 Workstation 8-channel CPU is apparently there will be a 12c version which perhaps will make it fairly modestly more affordable. I don't know what clock speeds will be like and if the 12c version will be a single CCD how cool would that be single CCD with 8-channel memory 128 PCIE 4.0 lanes and perhaps higher frequency than the higher core count versions. That might be a long shot to hope for, but it would be fantastic.
Seems like it but no about 12 months z490 although z590 lol
As for Alder Lake, there's been lots of discussion for and against its heterogenous design. It will be good to see it in action, though I think it will take applications a good couple of years to fully utilise it.
BRING ON THE 10 GHZ MEMORY :peace:
let's hope Zen3 CPUs become cheaper after this
