- 1Nova Lake Leak: 22-Core Chip Uses 48% Less Power▼Nova Lake Leak: 22-Core Chip Uses 48% Less Power [2026]
A leaked roadmap for Intel's 2026 Nova Lake processors describes a flagship chip with 22 cores that reportedly draws 48% less power than current designs. Details of the leak are still limited, and Intel has not confirmed the specifications. If accurate, the efficiency gains would mark one of the largest power reductions in recent CPU generations, drawing attention from PC builders and industry watchers awaiting official word.
- 2Intel Nova Lake Leak Points to 28-Core, 125W Desktop Chip▼Intel Nova Lake Leak: 28 Cores Share 125W With 24-Core Chip [2026]
A leak about Intel's upcoming Nova Lake desktop processors suggests a 28-core model could share a 125-watt power envelope with a 24-core variant, slated for 2026. If accurate, the figures point to much higher core counts at lower power levels than current Intel desktop chips, intensifying competition with AMD's Ryzen lineup.
- 3Intel Nova Lake Leak Points to Higher Core Counts Without Higher Power Draw▼Intel Nova Lake Leak Shows Bigger Core Counts Don't Mean Higher Power Rating
A leak of details on Intel's upcoming Nova Lake processors suggests the chips will offer larger core counts without a corresponding increase in their rated power consumption. If accurate, the information points to meaningful gains in efficiency for Intel's next desktop generation. Tech watchers are weighing what this could mean for Intel's competitive position against AMD and for future high-performance desktop systems.
- 4Leaked Intel Nova Lake CPU Spec: 28 Cores at 125W●Intel Nova Lake Leak: 28 Cores, Same 125W as 24-Core
A leak of Intel's upcoming Nova Lake desktop processors suggests a flagship 28-core chip running at the same 125W base power envelope as the current 24-core parts. If accurate, it would mean Intel is fitting more cores into its existing thermal limits rather than raising power draw. Details remain unconfirmed, and Intel has not commented on the reported specifications.
- 5Rumored Intel Nova Lake chips show up to 28 cores●Rumored Intel Nova Lake table lists three 'BFC' chips with up to 144MB of L3 — next-gen CPU lineup takes shape with up to 28 cores in Core Ultra 9 4970K BFC
A rumored specifications table for Intel's next-generation Nova Lake processors lists three chips labeled 'BFC', including a flagship Core Ultra 9 4970K BFC with up to 28 cores and 144MB of L3 cache. The leak suggests Intel's future desktop lineup is taking shape, with enthusiasts and analysts weighing what the cache and core counts mean for performance against AMD.
