The first Intel Alder Lake CPU box packages for the Core i9-12900K, Core i7, and Core i5 SKUs have leaked out while Chinese ecommerce site Taobao, has recently seen an influx of Intel's new Alder Lake-S CPUs being sold on their website, discovered by Twitter user Yuuki_ans.
The box packages were leaked out by Videocardz and show the Intel Alder Lake Core i9, Core i7, & Core i5 CPUs with their boxed packages. Interesting to note is that the flagship Core i9-12900K will be coming with a larger than usual package which may seem to hint that it could be bunded with a boxed CPU cooler though that wouldn't make much sense considering those who will be buying a flagship 12900K will also invest in high-end cooling over a stock CPU cooler. Intel is expected to be updating its stock cooler lineup as reported here.
