Asus has already added several notebooks with AMD's Ryzen AI 300 series mobile processors to its own store. The manufacturer also states the initial delivery dates: Asus will be the first to ship the Zenbook S 16 with the 12-core Ryzen AI 9 365 on July 16.

The Vivobook S 16 OLED will follow six days later. It uses AMD's top model Ryzen AI 9 HX 370, also with 12 CPU cores, but higher clock frequencies and a faster GPU. Asus will also ship the first configuration of the new ROG Zephyrus G16 on July 22, according to the store information. Nvidia's GeForce RTX 4060 sits next to the Ryzen AI 9 HX 370.

In the case of the Ryzen 9000 desktop processors, July 31 is being circulated as the launch date, apparently based on the US store B&H Photo. What is confusing is the shop's statement that pre-orders will only begin on that day – presumably a mistake, as AMD's boss Lisa Su promised a launch in the course of July.

Intel has already confirmed that the Lunar Lake series of notebook processors will arrive in the third quarter and the Arrow Lakes for desktop PCs will follow in the fourth quarter. The Taiwanese website Benchlife.info has now circled the dates further.

According to this, Intel wants to announce the Lunar Lake CPUs at the beginning of September, after which notebooks should be available in the week between September 17 and 24. They will allegedly appear as Core Ultra 200V. The company could announce the CPUs at the IFA trade fair in Berlin, which takes place from September 6th to 10th.

Benchlife.info also speculates that the desktop processors of the Arrow Lake series aka Core Ultra 200 will be available in October. This includes the overclockable K models, which are to be released with new Z890 mainboards. All other CPUs and the B860 and H810 are expected to follow in early 2025 – this would be a typical Intel approach.
