Intel Pushes Core Ultra 200K "Arrow Lake-S" Desktop Processor Launch by a Week
Intel has reportedly delayed the launch of its next-generation Core Ultra 200K series "Arrow Lake-S" desktop processors by a week. Originally slated for an October 17, 2024 launch, these chips are now releasing on October 24, according to HKEPC. There's no reason cited for the delay, it probably has to do with retailer stocking. The delay isn't significant. The Core Ultra 200K introduce a new CPU socket, the LGA1851, which means these chips need to launch alongside new motherboards based on the Intel 800-series.
The initial wave of processors is expected to include only SKUs targeting overclockers and enthusiasts. These include the Core Ultra 9 285K (8P+16E), the Core Ultra 7 265K (8P+12E), and the Core Ultra 5 245K (6P+8E), and their "KF" variants that lack integrated graphics. It's also expected that the first wave of compatible motherboards will only come with the premium Intel Z890 chipset, which supports CPU overclocking. Intel will likely expand its processor model selection, along with more affordable chipsets, such as the B860, around the 2025 International CES.

The way the title is worded it isn't really obvious which way the launch is "pushed" by a week - wouldn't "delay" be a better choice?
"Baldur's Gate 3 release date pushed forward to August 3 on PC"
"The Bear season 3 release pushed forward at the last minute"
"Assassin's Creed Mirage release date pushed forward by a week"
Etc...
Early adopting anything is simply entering the guessing game. Ironically pulling generally means you're NOT releasing at all :D
I paid 600 EUR for a 5900x in 2021. Intel was in laughable state back then, and it showed in AMD CPU prices. 9900x is only 470 EUR now, despite the inflation etc.
Nothing new from Intel.
