Intel's upcoming Nova Lake processors are expected to significantly increase power consumption, with the flagship 52-core model potentially reaching a PL2 power limit of 474W. This high power draw will necessitate new LGA1954 motherboards, some of which may require three 8-pin CPU power connectors to support extreme overclocking. The Nova Lake-S lineup, possibly branded as 'Core Ultra 400S', aims for substantial performance gains in gaming and multi-threaded tasks, and will feature integrated Xe3 graphics and an upgraded NPU for AI workloads.
