Intel, in its Computex 2024 event unveiled its Core Ultra 300 "Lunar Lake" processor, along with a Q3 2024 date for the processors. It now turns out that the processors won't arrive until Fall 2024, specifically September, when the various notebook OEMs will merely announce their products based on the chips, followed by market availability of these notebooks through Holiday 2024, according to a DigiTimes report. The report also says that Intel's Core Ultra "Arrow Lake-S" desktop processors could see an October 2024 announcement and availability for at least the Unlocked K- and KF SKUs, along with compatible Socket LGA1851 motherboards based on the top Intel Z890 chipset.

The DigiTimes report invited a clarification from Intel through Digital Trends. The company in a statement reaffirmed that the chips will be available "starting in Q3 2024, as noted at Computex." This statement aligns with the timeline that the company would commence shipments of "Lunar Lake" processors to OEMs starting in June, followed by product announcements and market availability in the following months.

I get that Intel is the goat in the desktop cpus right now but man they really need to change their socket policies. Do we really - really - really really need a new socket / mobo for this? If it's a technical reason, sure whatever, but I'm pretty sure it isn't. AMD is really close in performance nowadays and them offering (probably?) better upgradability makes them a viable alternative. For the love of god, change your policy

So Lunar Lake is 20A node - No, it is completely manufactured by TSMC and yes, it is for laptops and handhelds, maybe will find its way to the mini PCs

Right now I think it is necessary as intel is moving over to a tile based chip.

that and the vast majority of customers really doesnt care so I can’t see them restricting them selves to old sockets just to please a handful of users that want to buy a decent motherboard a carry that trough

First couple of months stocks are low and prices high, make it a q1 2025 thing, that way you have something to look forward to after the holiday season (if you are a westerner living in a place that has winter)

Oh yeah, it doesn't necessarily have to be newest gen :) New releases are a great moment to pick up something last gen.

Tsmc n3b so n5++

Err, N5's density is only ~130-140 MTr/mm^2, while N3's density is 190-230 MTr/mm^2.
Where did you invent those pluses from ?

N4 is N5+
N3B is a relaxed version of N3 as that kept failing and still has low yields
N3E the one where the Apple m4 is being made upon is where N3 should have been.

At some point someone somewhere wrote n5++ and that stuck

LOL 9 SKU's that are all identical other than clock speeds. Absolute criminal naming scheme calling a single 4P+4E apu, i9, i7, i5 etc.
