wccftech Intel Officially Confirms Nova Lake-S & Nova Lake-U After P-Core Only Bartlett Lake-S For Desktops

In the slide, Intel first confirms the Bartlett Lake-S lineup, which will be branded under the "Core Series 2" family. These chips will be P-Cores only and will incorporate as many as 12 P-Cores. It should also be remembered that the Bartlett Lake-S CPUs are derived from older 14th/13th Gen designs and, hence, would retain SMT. So a 12-core CPU will deliver up to 24 threads, and the lineup will scale down to just two cores. These CPUs will be compatible with the LGA 1700/1800 socket and not the LGA 1854 socket, which is only compatible with Arrow Lake-S and its recently confirmed refreshed lineup.

With the exception of a Cyrix CPU I ran in ancient times, everything I built  for work and/or play was 'Intel' - up until late 2018. Now I am on my 6th high-end AMD (9950X3D, 128 GB 6400) and never even considered Intel. Perhaps Nova-Lake will change that one-sided CPU purchasing a bit, perhaps not. Smart move by Intel to make it for LGA 1700/1800 because a lot of folks running those boards with what was top-of-the line Intel 12th to 14th gen (in their minds, anyway,   >    ) skipped the most recent 285K etc...to entice them with Nova-Lake, it has to be 'plug-in' with a bios update to their board(s), but not a new socket board. This way, Intel might claw some market share back...a healthy X86 competitor would also remind AMD not to get arrogant  and serve the consumers !

The CPU Core Wars return — Intel Nova Lake leak teases monster 52 cores

 

Quote

Yesterday, it emerged that Intel's next-generation Core Ultra 9 'Nova Lake-S' processors for desktops will feature as many as 52 cores, which makes them quite formidable contenders both for gaming and for performance-demanding applications. It turns out that the whole Nova Lake-S platform will be quite beastly too, as it will support DDR5-8000 memory and will feature as many as 32 PCIe 5.0 lanes, according to Jaykihn, a blogger with an excellent reputation when it comes to Intel's plans.

Intel's range-topping Core Ultra 9 'Nova Lake-S' processors for desktop PCs are set to pack 16 high-performance Coyote Cove cores, 32 energy-efficient Arctic Wolf cores, and four low-power Arctic Wolf cores. Memory subsystem of the new CPU will feature two channels supporting up to one DDR5-8000 memory module per channel, though it is unclear whether Intel plans to support regular DDR5-8000 DIMMs, or DDR5-8000 CUDIMMs with a clock driver chip.

 

There is a small catch, though, as each pair of Nova Lake's high-performance cores will feature a shared 2MB L2 cache, according to HXL. Using shared L2 cache will affect the performance of Coyote Cove cores, though this is a necessary tradeoff to pack up to 52 cores into next-generation Core Ultra 9 and up to 42 cores into next-generation Core Ultra 7 CPUs, as well as double the number of high-performance cores in high-end CPUs. Hopefully, support for high-speed DDR5 memory will offset the smaller L2 cache, and the performance of Coyote Cove will not be lower than the performance of Lion Cove cores.

 

Furthermore, Intel's Nova Lake CPUs will feature 24 PCIe 5.0 lanes: x16 lanes for graphics cards (which can be bifurcated to two x8 or to four x4 lanes) as well as two x4 lanes for SSDs. In addition, the chipset will support eight PCIe 5.0 lanes and 16 PCIe 4.0 lanes for peripherals, which could enable rather monstrous systems with loads of storage and plenty of add-in cards and accelerators.

Intel's next-generation Core Ultra 'Nova Lake-S' processors for desktops will reportedly use the all-new LGA1954 packaging and a new socket, so those who want to have up to 52 cores will have to upgrade to a new platform.
