The chip configurations and SKU plans for Intel's next-generation desktop processor, Nova Lake (Core Ultra 400), have been fully revealed. This processor will feature a brand-new architecture, with up to 52 cores, and introduce the new LGA 1954 platform. To compete against AMD's X3D technology, Nova Lake will debut a high-cache version, with single-chip cache reaching up to 144MB and dual-chip versions offering a massive 288MB. In terms of chip configurations, Nova Lake will range from 6 to 52 cores, with entry-level models featuring 8 cores, mid-range options offering two 28-core configurations, and the flagship model adopting a dual-compute-chip design for a total of 52 cores. The product line will be divided into four tiers: Core Ultra 9, Ultra 7, Ultra 5, and Ultra 3, catering to diverse user needs. Additionally, Nova Lake will see comprehensive upgrades in integrated graphics, memory, and expandability, marking what is expected to be a significant counterattack by Intel in the desktop market.
