Recently, Intel's next-generation Arrow Lake-S Refresh and next-generation 28-core Nova Lake-S desktop CPUs appeared on NBD's shipping list.Arrow Lake-S Refresh is Intel's upcoming desktop CPU series that is expected to offer better performance through improved frequencies and mature process technology.
The original plan for Arrow Lake-S Refresh included upgrading the NPU, but this plan has been cancelled, and users can only expect a frequency increase on the LGA 1851 socket.
The LGA 1851 socket will only support Arrow Lake-S and its Refresh version, because the next generation of Nova Lake will use a completely new architecture.
Nova Lake-S will use Coyote Cove P-Cores and Arctic Wolf E-Cores, providing dual computing chips with up to 52 cores and single computing chip configurations with 28 cores.
NBD confirmed the 28-core version of the Nova Lake-S desktop CPU, which will use a configuration of 8 P-Core, 16 E-Core and 4 LP-E cores.
The CPU will also feature at least four Xe3 integrated graphics cores, and there are no details on frequency, TDP or process technology yet.
It is worth noting that these 28-core CPU chips will also be used in the Nova Lake-HX series, which is the CPU series for the high-end mobile market.
In addition, Intel's Nova Lake-S desktop CPUs have entered the pre-certification sample stage, which means these chips have passed the engineering stage.
