Intel’s Moon Lake processors, which were rumored to be delayed by Digitimes Asia, have actually been confirmed by Intel to be on schedule for release in the third quarter of 2024. Both stories can be true in a sense – while DigiTimes Asia reported a delay in shipments starting in September instead of June as planned, Intel reiterated that the parts will indeed be available starting in the third quarter of 2024, as previously announced at Computex.
Intel never made any specific promises regarding the release date of the Lunar Lake processors other than stating they would be available in the third quarter of this year. While Intel did share details about the Lunar Lake design with the press, including a deep dive into the technology, the company has not yet revealed the model name or price of the chips.
Rumors suggest that the Lunar Lake processors may be known as the “Core Ultra 200V” family of SoCs, while related Arrow Lake desktop CPUs may drop the “V” from their name. Intel has not officially confirmed any release dates but has announced its annual innovation event for September 24, leading some to speculate that the company may announce the launch of Arrow Lake chips on that day instead of Lunar Lake chips.
Overall, it seems that the confusion surrounding the rumored delay of Intel’s Moon Lake processors may simply be a matter of semantics, as the chips are still set to be released in the third quarter of 2024 as originally announced. Intel’s focus on innovation and competition in the semiconductor industry remains strong, with new developments and product launches on the horizon.
