Intel Nova Lake CPUs May Retain Full L3 Cache Despite E-Core Reductions

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Intel's upcoming Nova Lake CPUs may feature larger L3 cache pools than previously anticipated, according to a new leak. Despite some configurations having reduced E-core clusters, these SKUs are now expected to retain their full L3 cache allocation. For example, an 8P+12E configuration is predicted to have 36MB of L3 cache, up from an earlier estimate of 33MB, and a 4P+4E config is now expected to have 18MB instead of 15MB. This change, however, will not apply to all Nova Lake models, with some still expected to have reduced cache sizes. AI
