They sell and ship new Core 12 processors by mistake and it happens

Two days, just two days after the official presentation of the new Intel processors and we already have the first anecdote about them. And is that a famous online store screwed up, since it sold several previous bookings Core 12 processor and sent them to their respective owners despite the fact that the official sale date is November 4th. What do you think happened? Then…

We are not going to enter the prices as such, since we already know them, although these figures are increased impressively in Europe, since we are already over 700 dollars for the top of the range Alder Lake. i9-12900K

, for example. But it is not the important thing this time, since there are users who had enough “cash” to get one or more processors and as such and saw the error sending the CPU that Newegg had in the USA, you already have them in your power.

What happens if there is an error sending a CPU?

Well, something between funny and regrettable, since three Internet users in the land of the free “suffered” this problem. Concretely, it is the Internet users Hyhnx, NoveltyNetwork y discovet11 who were contacted by the store when they realized their mistake. The processors were already shipped and being delivered, so they didn’t have enough time to stop shipping, and the processors ended up reaching these three users.

What has been the reaction on both sides? Well sure, the new owners of the processors got an unexpected, so happy and happy Halloween gift, but the store went into panic mode because there is an NDA signed by Intel and that means breaking that deal. blatantly.

Shame ended in ridicule

Since the processors were shipped, Newegg couldn’t stop the inevitable and gave it a try anyway. How? ‘Or’ What? Through phone calls and notifications to the three users, they were instructed to “not look for problems” and, of course, not to post any type of photos of the processors until the aforementioned date of November 4

where the NDA falls.

What happened as a result of this? Well, what could we expect. When you forbid someone to do something, you instinctively force them to do it, and that’s what happened. The images began to be downloaded and to flood the network with this curious anecdote and the store had to live with it because the product is obviously no longer legally owned.

Needless to say, threatening or coercing the user is never a good sign or a good image, but this by a failure of its own to achieve these terms … You couldn’t expect anything else from users of course . From now on, Newegg will have to deal with Intel, since what is signed, as is our case with the products to be analyzed, has a contract which, if broken, could lead to legal action from the manufacturer.
