Release intelligence
A source-linked calendar for AI hardware announcements, conferences, preorder signals, shipping windows, and infrastructure deployment.
How to read the calendar
Confirmed event
The organizer has published the dates. Hardware announcements may happen there, but are not assumed in advance.
Announced hardware
The manufacturer has named the product or platform. This does not necessarily mean retail availability.
Availability window
The official source gives a broad window rather than a precise shipping date. Regional availability may differ.

Release calendar FAQ
Does a confirmed event mean a product will launch?
No. It confirms the event timing only. Product announcements are added after the organizer or manufacturer publishes them.
Why are some dates broad windows?
Manufacturers often announce a platform before giving exact regional or OEM shipping dates. Kingy preserves the official wording instead of guessing.
Are rumors included?
Not in the confirmed tables. Unverified rumors are excluded until a reliable source supplies evidence and the item is clearly labeled.
