Arrow Lake will allegedly launch on October 24
The big question is whether this will be another paper launch, or actually a products-on-shelves launch. If Intel really did make the switch from 20A to TSMC at the time they announced, then I think it could be a paper launch. In that case, the various samples floating around could be the only examples the world will ever see of 20A chips.

I believe arrow will be tsmc only. I also bet they made the switch long before the public announcement... as in they waited for samples from tsmc before making the final call. Further, I think the rumored delay to Oct 24 bodes well for this being a full launch.. at least for some models.

I'm just full of hope this morning!
