Intel is scheduled to unveil its Nova Lake processors in the second half of this year. While much was already known about them, their successors have only revealed their designations. A new leak provides a more complete picture of Intel's processor plans for the next two years.
Diving into the topic became possible thanks to the resource , which traditionally maintains ties with Taiwanese motherboard and laptop manufacturers. Next year won't be particularly exciting in terms of Intel's processor launches—it won't be until the end of the year that Razor Lake processors will be unveiled. However, Titan Lake and Moon Lake will both hit the market in 2028. In the desktop and mobile segments, Intel aims to close the gap with AMD.
Desktop Nova Lake processors will be released at the end of this year, and the mobile version of Nova Lake-S may be delayed until early 2027. The processors of this family will likely be called Core Ultra 400. In the desktop version, they will receive , combining the high-performance Coyote Cove processors with the energy-efficient Arctic Wolf processors. These processors will require the LGA 1954 socket and motherboards based on Intel's 900 series chipsets (Z990, Z970, W980, Q970, and B960). Desktop Nova Lake processors will use TSMC's N2 dies and feature 288 MB of L3 cache. The mobile Nova Lake-S family will feature models with up to 28 cores; they traditionally debut in January at CES in Las Vegas.
Razor Lake processors will be the direct successors to Nova Lake in the desktop segment; they will retain the LGA 1954 design and will be released in the fourth quarter of 2027. High-performance cores with the new Griffon Cove architecture will increase specific performance, while energy-efficient cores will adopt the Golden Eagle architecture. In 2028, Titan Lake processors will mark Intel's promised departure from the hybrid architecture, which combines high-performance and efficiency cores. As experience in recent years has shown, it can sometimes be difficult to optimize games and other applications for such processors. Titan Lake processors will offer the Copper Shark architecture with a unified layout.
Furthermore, the long-promised collaboration with Nvidia will be realized with Titan Lake processors. For mobile performance configurations, Titan Lake processors will combine Copper Shark computing cores with an Nvidia RTX graphics chip. Moon Lake processors, due out in 2028, will be targeted at affordable, low-power laptops and Chromebooks. They will utilize a low-power architecture that will build on Intel's previous work in this area. These processors will be the successors to Twin Lake.
