Intel Nova Lake is rumored to double the number of cores in Arrow Lake.
Intel is currently experiencing some turbulence, having just addressed performance issues with Arrow Lake. The launch was concerning, with degradation noted. The mentioned problems at Intel pertain to previous generation chips, according to https://xrust.ru/. However, leaks suggest that the chip manufacturer hopes to return with Nova Lake processors featuring a corresponding number of cores. A comment from a person claiming that Team Blue will double the core count for desktop PCs Nova Lake (NVL-SK) has already been removed from thematic sections of social media, although there are several nuances behind this. The disappearance of such a statement is a testament to the credibility of the leak. The individual also noted that the new implementation would mean that the chip manufacturer will use two identical core clusters, as the core count is said to be 2x8P+2x16E, rather than the commonly accepted 16P+32E. A likely explanation for this is that Intel settled on 8P+16E for a full CPU die, while Nova Lake-SK will use two identical CPU dies, similar to how AMD Ryzen processors are constructed (using chiplets). In addition to the desktop variant, rumors also suggest that high-performance mobile options NVL-HX will adhere to the traditional configuration of 8P+16E; low-power options in the lineup, such as NVL-S/NVL-H, are said to have up to 4 P cores and 8 E cores, while the smallest member of the Nova Lake family (NVL-U) will feature a maximum of just 4 P cores, without any E cores.
