Intel could punish Mindfactory for selling Rocket Lake-S before official launch date


Intel would launch Rocket Lake-S processors on March 30 and pre-order can begin on March 16.

Occasionally there are some soap operas within the hardware market that they give for Netflix series. Intel does not yet allow the sale of its Rocket Lake-S processors, although German retailer Mindfactory would already be selling them. To top it off, these Intel Rocket Lake-S processors would not be marketed until the end of this March.

Mindfactory sells Intel Rocket Lake-S processors and that could get you in trouble

Let's start by highlighting that we can find motherboards with Intel Z590 chipset for weeks. As these motherboards are compatible with the current Comet Lake-S, they have started to be commercialized. The problem is that there is no sign of Intel Rocket Lake-S processors on the market.

HardwareLuxx reveals that Intel Rocket Lake-S processors will be available on March 30. It will also be March 30 when the first "official" reviews are published. Of course, as of March 16, these new processors will be able to be reserved.

The information has been revealed because Mindfactory, a German retailer, already sells these Intel Rocket Lake-S processors. This is a problem for the German shop, as they are not authorized to do so. Intel forces to sign an agreement that prevents the sale of chips before a date set by the company. The German store has skipped it and that could mean a fine of up to $ 200,000 plus a supply restriction.
