Newegg, the prime online computing store of not only PCs, but peripherals, GPUs, and CPUs, including the brand-new Intel Alder Lake CPU, with a planned release date of November 4th, has recently caught fire for selling the next-gen Intel CPU which does not seem out of the norm considering the launch date is only seven days away & Intel already opened pre-orders yesterday via their retail partners.

However, the tech e-commerce site has not only sold their initial shipment of Alder Lake CPUs but has also shipped them to customers, breaking the contract and embargo date. It is not a large amount of Intel CPUs, and the practice of mistakenly shipping products ahead of time is not completely out of the ordinary.
