Intel's Nova Lake CPUs gear up to seize AMD’s 3D V-Cache gaming throne — early leak points to up to 52 cores, blazing DDR5-8000 support, and massive 175W TDP

The Hot Take: New out there about the AMD 10k's makes sense why this is coming out now. I wouldn't put it paste intel to leak it to say "Hey folks we're coming back!" Soften the AMD 10k impact on their bottom line. I for one am excited about this news and it means healthy competition is hopefully coming back to the x86 environment at least.

VideoCardz shares the alleged preliminary SKU list for Intel's upcoming Core Ultra 400S (codenamed Nova Lake) processors.

Intel developing two-lever retention mechanism for LGA 1954 socket, according to new leak — Premium Nova Lake-S motherboards will feature 2L-ILM sockets

The Hot Take: It's going to be interesting if Intel can make a sudden comeback with actual functional management. I have a feeling this is going to be my next system.

Some high-end motherboards for Intel's upcoming Nova Lake processors have been tipped to include a dual-lever retention mechanism called "2L-ILM." We've seen something similar before with LGA 2011, but that a server platform. Boards with 2L-ILM will live alongside standard ILM (1L-ILM?) variants that are cheaper to produce.

Intel Updates Nova Lake-S 42 Core To 44 Core In Dual Compute Tile CPU Config

The Hot Take: It appears intel is back on the offensive and actually innovating again. This is what competition is supposed to bring us.

Intel's next-gen Nova Lake-S CPUs will feature a 44-core "Dual Compute Tile" CPU config instead of a 42-core configuration. Intel Nova Lake-S 42-Core Desktop CPU Spec Upgraded To 44 Cores, Retains Dual Compute Tile Config With bLLC A few months back, we reported that Intel was working on a range of Nova Lake-S Desktop CPUs that will come in 52, 42, 28, and 24 core configurations, all featuring bLLC cache. It looks like one of these SKUs will be getting a spec upgrade. As per Jaykihn, the 42-core spec has now been upgraded to 44 cores, featuring 16 P-Cores (2x8) and […]Read full article at https://wccftech.com/intel-updates-nova-lake-s-desktop-44-core-dual-compute-tile-cpu/

Dell XPS 14 Panther Lake Laptop Hits 43 Hours In Battery Test Beatdown Of M5 MacBook Air

The Hot Take: If this is true, I feel ARM may have serious competition on their hands.

Many believe that Apple makes the most efficient laptop chips and that MacBooks have the best battery life because the Arm ISA supposedly offers superior performance and efficiency over the crufty x86 ISA. But that is not the case. Apple's products are relatively strong because Apple's engineers do an excellent job at designing them for a
