Intel hints at October reveal date for its 10nm Alder Lake gaming CPUs
Leaks and rumours on Intel's 12th gen Alder Lake chips are coming through thick and fast right now, but it looks like we finally have a more accurate reveal date to go by thanks to the Intel Accelerated keynote on Monday.
During the event, Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger set a date for the next big announcement from the company, called 'Intel Innovation'. This'll run between October 27 and 28, and he referred to it as a 'hybrid' event - suggesting a link back to the hybrid big.LITTLE architecture we'll see on the future 12th gen chips. Earlier rumours set these chips for a November release, and with no other big announcements around that time planned, it seems likely that this is the event where Alder Lake will be unveiled, though this is unconfirmed as of yet.
However, we can expect a delay between the announcement and when the chips are available for purchase. If Rocket Lake was anything to go by, its unveil on 16 March was followed by availability on 30 March, so we might not be waiting too long.
