Intel Haswell possibly delayed till June 2013

Intel’s next-generation desktop and mobile platform will not debut till June 2013, according to Chinese website VR-Zone.com. The delay has not been attributed to any particular reason, but the new timing lines up with the 2013 edition of Computex, the world’s largest computer and information technology trade fair. Intel could be planning a large, splashy launch at the event, during which it would be able to showcase its manufacturing partners’ designs. Another possible reason could be to allow manufacturers more time to sell their stocks of accumulated products. Intel already announced it would break from the annual refresh cycle it had established since the first-generation Core architecture was announced, by shipping Haswell in March-April instead of January 2013. Previous generations have been launched at CES, the world’s most important consumer electronics show, held in Las Vegas each year.Click here for full story
