Intel’s new-generation desktop processor family, the Core Ultra 400 series, has begun to emerge with the Nova Lake architecture. Leaked information about the processors, which have not yet been officially introduced, shows that the company is preparing for a significant architectural leap in the desktop segment. These processors, which will come with the LGA 1854 socket structure, will be released with Intel’s 900 series chipsets.
Intel Core Ultra 400 processors are coming
According to the leak, there will be a total of seven different model configurations in the Nova Lake-S series. The most powerful model offers a total of 52 cores with 16 high-performance cores (P-Core), 32 efficiency cores (E-Core) and 4 low-power LP-E cores.
The PL1 power limit of this model is determined as 150 watts. Compared to the current Core Ultra 9 285K, there is a 116 percent increase in the total number of cores. In addition, LP-E cores were not available in previous generations; These cores are expected to contribute to the system in low-load tasks.
The configurations that will follow the Core Ultra 9 model include combinations such as 14P + 24E + 4 LP-E and 8P + 16E + 4 LP-E. These models have TDP values of 150W and 125W, respectively. The Core Ultra 3 models, positioned as the entry level, feature 4P + 8E + 4 LP-E and 4P + 4E + 4 LP-E configurations. The TDP limit of these models is kept at 65W.
The new architecture is expected to attract attention not only with its high core count, but also with its memory and data path support. Intel is targeting 10,000 MT/s memory speeds over the CUDIMM form factor with these processors.
This also indicates that the integrated memory controller has been significantly improved. It is also stated that the platform will fully support next-generation connection standards such as PCIe 5.0. So what do you think about this device?
