Intel 12th Gen Core Availability from November 4, Pre-orders Begin October 27: Report
Intel 12th Gen Core "Alder Lake" desktop processors will be available from November 4, 2021, according to a leaked Intel channel document by Wccftech. It confirms that Intel will only debut unlocked "K" and "KF" SKUs and companion Z690 chipset in November, with the first wave being limited to the Core i9-12900K, i9-12900KF, i7-12700K, i7-12700KF, i5-12600K, and i5-12600KF. Pre-orders of these parts, along with product announcements, are set to go live on October 27. Reviews of these processors will be published on the same day as retail availability, on November 4. There's no word on when the "locked" non-K SKUs and more affordable chipsets, such as the B660, H670, and H610, come out, but older reports suggest an early-2022 launch for those. Given that memory isn't tied with these dates, DDR5 memory modules should be available any day now.

Who and where ?
E Cores are only from I5 12600K and up?, ok no reason to buy a 12500 or others :laugh:
Anyway, I am not real optimistic about the scheduler in Win 11, it's not like MS has a great track record with that sort of thing.
I would bet it will take them 2 years to get it really sorted. It's too bad they don't have an 8+0 model, for those that want to avoid the negative potential of scheduling the wrong thing on an e-core. I have a hard time with why one would need 8 fast + 8 'slow' cores on desktop anyway. I'd rather have 12 fast and no slow cores on a desktop. To this day I still *very* rarely see anything in normal use (or games) that can effectively use more than 8 cores anyway.
My Dream is a CPU with 2 Performance Cores, 6 LP Cores and a 80 EUs IGP, in my case ther LP Cores will run 95% a day :peace:
I would bought a 4300g or 5300G Retail, but not as tray......:shadedshu:
But AMD dont need me to buy a APU from them, we will see in future :)
Scalpers will fuck them self.
10900K/F --- 500/450€
10900/F --- 395€/367€
10 Cores without a IGP and K 367€, a 3700 did cost at some times 389€
Although you probably can't used the included cooler if there's one included.
So just take out the chip , test it with your own cooler , keep it or send it back.
You are pre-ordering the new motherboard and DDR5 as well, and maybe a new cooler(or email noctua to get a free adaptor)
That's easily >$1000 spent based on rumors and "leaks"
Oh and you must "upgrade" to Windows 11, which is a big downside to it.
I'd wait for reviews. Especially if new platform is introduced and RAM.
