As per the latest listings within shipping manifests at nbd.ltd, it looks like Intel is already preparing a new socket that will be used by its next-gen Desktop CPU family, codenamed Nova Lake-S. This is the family replacing Arrow Lake and is expected to arrive later next year, so 2H 2026 to be precise.

For Nova Lake, we are hearing reports that Intel is planning to up the core counts, both P-Cores and E-Cores, by a huge margin. Current rumors suggest up to 16 P-Cores and up to 32 E-Cores & these chips will be coming to both desktops and laptops. It is revealed that the LGA 1954 socket is being used on the reference evaluation platforms running Nova Lake-S Desktop CPUs.

Intel is expected to move to a newer socket with its Nova Lake-S Desktop CPU lineup, which will be called LGA 1954.

Current socket only gets essentially one real gen / architecture is just bad.

 

Hopefully Nova Lake is much better and maybe they can have a longer lived socket with LGA1954.

Yes it horrendous and even the lga 1700 was really junk. 12900k 12900ks 13900k 13900ks 14900k 14900ks and now supposedly a 12 p core chip. I mean am all in for 12 P core but it need E-core at least 8-12 to be even worth talking about.

 

AMD is doing great meanwhile. AM4 still going strong
