Microcenter.com (US retailer) doesn't have anything newer than 14th gen CPUs for desktops, on their site. Did Intel release a newer desktop chip already?

- layer8 2y agoNo, the 15th gen desktop will be Arrow Lake-S aka Core Ultra 200, and is on track for release in Q4 2024.
- Dalewyn 2y agoNo, Arrow Lake is 16th gen. 15th gen (Meteor Lake) was supposed to also have a desktop segment, but that got axed because Intel(tm). No, I am not going to entertain the desktop/mobile generation split bullshit that AMD also has. Screw that noise, disjointed market segmentation is anti-consumer. (No, I am not going to entertain Intel's new Core XX branding either.)
- imtringued 2y agoThe Ryzen 8700G and 8945H are basically identical. AMD is seemingly simply repackaging their laptop SoCs to be sold as desktop APUs in a different form factor. There is not much segmentation going on here. The only real problem with AMD is that they are gouging on APUs. Who exactly is in the market for a $330 (from memory) APU for their office PC or gaming PC? Of course, they already dropped the price, but that $330 launch price felt really awkward.
- hnuser123456 2y agoGoing by your reasoning, 13th and 14th gen should've been the same generation because 14th was just a "refresh" of 13th gen raptor lake. Going by the more common theme of "generation goes up by 1 each year", Arrow lake would been 15th gen. Meteor lake came out the same year as 14th gen, but the "14" branded parts are raptor lake refresh instead of meteor lake due to the deadline miss, they couldn't get the new architecture ported to all product segments so they just did consumer laptops since they don't pull much power and don't push the silicon too hard.
