Intel plans to release the 12th generation Core series in November
Alder Lake-S may be a hot spot for PCs in the future. As the first desktop x86 processor with big.LITTLE hybrid architecture, this processor is also Intel’s first desktop processor based on the 10 nm SuperFin process. It is considered to be the key to Intel’s fight against AMD and has attracted attention from all parties.
Probably learned the lessons of PCIe Gen4, Intel took the lead in supporting PCIe Gen5 on Alder Lake-S, so as to avoid the embarrassment of the PCIe standard lagging behind its competitors for a long time. Alder Lake-S also supports DDR5 and DDR4 memory at the same time, board manufacturers can choose one of them to match. In addition, a very important change in Alder Lake-S is the use of a new socket. The sizes of the LGA1700 and the currently used LGA 1200 are also different. For most users, if you choose Alder Lake-S, you need to buy a new coolers support.
According to Wccftech reports, Intel has informed its partners that it plans to release the 12th-generation Core system processor in November 2021. The timetable may be moved forward or postponed according to some changes, but it is basically certain. It is reported that Intel may adopt the same strategy as AMD, and that future generations of products will use the same socket platform (similar to AM4/AM5).
