Intel officially revealed its Alder Lake desktop processors on October 27, and you can pre-order them right now if you can find any in stock. While they won't land on shelves until November 4, a lucky few are already getting to grips with what's shaping up to be the best gaming CPU around, the Core i9-12900K.
Several users on the Intel subreddit claim to have their hands on the flagship i9-12900K ahead of release, some complete with pictures of the product packaging. While buyers receiving their shiny new tech prior to the official street date is nothing new, some also claim that retailer Newegg has called them and explicitly asked them not to disclose their early shipment.
It’s understandable why Newegg would do this, as we’re sure Intel won’t be best pleased, but as these people aren’t bound by an NDA, there’s very little that can be done to correct this mistake. However, it appears that no one has received Z690 motherboards alongside their early processor, and so we’ll have to wait a little longer for third-party performance benchmarks.
