Subscribe to our newsletter You can always tell when an exciting new bit of PC tech is getting nearer to launch, because all the various leaks and rumours get increasingly more comprehensive and detailed. That’s very much the case with the latest drop for Intel’s Nova Lake chips, because now we have a look at what the full range of Core Ultra 400-series processors is going to look like.Well, that’s according to Videocardz, which says it’s been shown a new roadmap for NVL-S, the next generation of desktop processors from Intel, which will be officially listed as Series 4, or Core Ultra 400S. As there has already been a wealth of leaks about the forthcoming chips, much of this information isn’t especially new, but seeing all tied together and with snippets of details for the range of SKUs is interesting.Swipe to scroll horizontallyIntel Core Ultra 400S (Nova Lake-S) rumoured specsClassP-coresE-coresLPE-coresbLLCTDP???8 + 816 + 164Yes (x2) / 288 MB?175 W???8 + 812 + 124Yes (x2) / 288 MB?175 WCore Ultra 98164Yes / 144 MB?125 WCore Ultra 98164No125 WCore Ultra 78124Yes / 144 MB?125 WCore Ultra 78124No125 WCore Ultra 56124No125 WJust as with the current ARL-S (Arrow Lake) chips, and every other generation of Intel processors before it, Core Ultra 400S CPUs will come in a wide range of varieties for different segments: 125 W for general scenarios and gaming, plus 65 W and 35 W models for office and embedded applications. PC gamers are most likely to be interested in the usual Core Ultra 9, 7, and 5 chips, and at first glance, it just seems to be the same as it has always been. The series leading 9-class models will sport nine Coyote Cove P-cores, 16 Arctic Wolf E-cores, and four Low Power E-cores (LPE).Dropping down
