New CPU's Question

[mattpg1]

Hello. I was looking at http://www.cpubenchmark.net/high_end_cpus.html .

Do CPU manufacturers give PassMark new CPU's to test before they are released into the market for sale?

Does PassMark or Intel or AMD keep a page about future CPU's to be released?


Thanks,
Matt

There is no accurate list.
Just rumours & leaks generally.
Wikipedia is generally fairly up to date.

Only very rarely do we get a pre-release CPU. The last one was 10 years ago.
