Intel's Nova Lake mobile chips may skip new cache tech; Razor Lake to debut it

Intel's upcoming Nova Lake mobile processors are rumored to omit the "bLLC" (Big Last Level Cache) feature, which is intended to rival AMD's 3D V-Cache. Instead, this enhanced cache technology may debut with the subsequent Razor Lake mobile family. While desktop Nova Lake CPUs are expected to receive bLLC, with potential capacities of up to 288MB on dual-tile configurations, mobile variants will reportedly rely on standard L3 cache. Razor Lake processors are also rumored to be manufactured using TSMC's N2X process node. AI
