Intel’s Next-Gen Nova Lake CPU Core Configurations Rumored To Feature Double The P-Cores & E-Cores, Up To 16 P & 32 E Cores – Wccftech
Details for Intel’s “next-gen” Nova Lake lineup have finally surfaced, giving us a glimpse of the rumored core counts for multiple CPU variants.Well, Intel’s Arrow Lake series hasn’t lived up to expectations at all. Since the ARL-S variants have brought in a rather disappointing performance, the next point of optimism is Nova Lake. Intel has offered little to no details regarding Nova Lake, but it seems like a new leak from the Redditor @Exist50 (via HXL) has given us a rundown of potential specifications of Nova Lake-S, HX, U, and H lineups, and they look pretty interesting.Nova Lake Configuration RumorsNVL-SK: 2*8+16 NVL-HX: 1*8+16 NVL-S/NVL-H: 4+8 NVL-U: 4+0https://t.co/olvUda0A2p— HXL (@9550pro) January 31, 2025Intel’s upcoming CPU lineup is said to feature a max core configuration of 2*8 P-Cores along with 16 E-Cores, which will mark a decent improvement from Arrow Lake-S’s flagship CPU, the Core Ultra 9 285K. Along with this, we are looking at other lineups, such as Nova Lake-H, that will debut in the mobile segment. Here’s what Nova Lake’s core configuration looks like:Based on the details, the Intel Nova Lake-S top configuration can offer up to 16 P-Cores and 32 E-Cores. It looks like Intel will be going with a dual compute tile, which would lead to these increased core counts as a means to tackle AMD’s upcoming Zen 6 offerings, which are also expected to bump up the core configurations up to 32 cores per CCD.Intel’s Nova Lake-S Desktop CPUs will be the true successor to the Arrow Lake-S lineup and should be part of the “Core Ultra 400” series as the “Core Ultra 300” series will utilize the Panther Lake CPU design, but those chips aren’t expected to launch on mainstream desktop platforms. They are expected to use Coyote Core P-Cores and Arctic Wolf E-Cores, and that’s all we know for now, but given that Nova Lake is scheduled to launch next year, we do expect more information to surface in upcoming times.Some posts on wccftech.com may contain affiliate links.
