Intel: Arrow Lake processors will be released this year despite cancellation of Innovation presentation

Today, Intel confirmed that its plans to launch Arrow Lake processors remain «unchanged,» with deliveries set to begin «later this year.» The Intel Innovation event, originally scheduled for September 24, 2024, will be postponed to 2025 to save costs due to the company’s losses in the second quarter of 2024. After news of the Intel Innovation 2024 event postponement surfaced, many enthusiasts and analysts speculated about a possible delay in the release of the Arrow Lake processor family. This speculation was based on Intel’s plans to unveil the new chip at the Innovation 2024 event. However, today, an Intel representative stated that these rumors are not true.

«Intel’s launch plans, timelines, or product readiness have not changed. We are excited about the new product announcements and the momentum we have, including important announcements this fall. We will share more details about our next-generation desktop processors codenamed Arrow Lake later this year,» Intel stated. The company promised to make «important announcements» this fall. The Lunar Lake processors are expected to be showcased at the IFA 2024 trade show in Germany early next month. There are also rumors about a possible announcement of the Battlemage generation desktop graphics processors.

The Arrow Lake family is particularly intriguing for the desktop segment as it will bring an entirely new architecture, be more energy-efficient than current chips, and promise a significant boost in performance.
