Intel reportedly adding 22-core CPUs with large cache to Nova Lake-S lineup

By PulseAugur Editorial · [2 sources] ·

Intel is reportedly planning to introduce two new 22-core processors for its Nova Lake-S desktop lineup, aimed at the midrange market. These CPUs are expected to feature a significant amount of last-level cache (bLLC), potentially up to 144MB, to enhance gaming performance, similar to AMD's X3D chips. The new SKUs, rumored to be part of the Core Ultra 5 tier, will include an unlocked 125W TDP variant and a locked 65W TDP variant, both utilizing a single-tile design with 6 P-Cores, 12 E-Cores, and 4 LP-E cores.
