Are they coming, or aren’t they? And if so, when? Various media had again written or spoken about a delay, but Intel is said to have now internally decided on a narrower time frame. If they’re going to stick to the current timeframe, the range that’s being colocated to me now is between Aug. 05, 2022 and Sept. 29, 2022. This means that there is enough time to launch the three announced larger models one slice at a time. It is interesting that the internal documents no longer report about a large-scale, joint launch event, but it could rather be a kind of “silent” launch, which could be carried out gradually in the retail sector and via only a few media.
In addition, Intel is obviously preparing already finished cards internally, which will then be made available to handpicked media representatives at short notice for reporting. Which continent will be sampled at all and how broadly the launch will be is, however, completely open. However, the choice of reporters (and content) is unlikely to be left to chance, especially since the board partners were strictly briefed in advance on how to handle the products they produced themselves. Objective reviews will probably only be available when the cards are finally available in stores.
The procedure is not even unusual, because manufacturers are already quite happy to hide their rather “unloved” children. No matter if it’s the Radeon RX 6400 or the GeForce GTX 1630, you always have to laboriously get such parts yourself because you always fear image damage on the part of the manufaturers. Wrongly, if one were to trust the objectivity of the reviewers, but it’s better to generally leave no stone unturned. Based on my experience with the Arc A380 and the imponderables of the drivers (last test with the 3220 and 3259 BETA ) as well as the hardware, one can definitely wait with mixed feelings for what is coming (or maybe not).
I can also spoil that I’ll be posting more details on Sapphire Rapids on Monday, but I need some verification on that. So it’s worth taking a look.
