A rumoured Intel Nova Lake mobile chip that's 100% E-cores with a beefy iGPU would be great news for handhelds, if it wasn't destined for edge computing only

With Intel riding high at the moment, thanks to its excellent Panther Lake and Arrow Lake Refresh processors, any news about its forthcoming Nova Lake chips is worth paying attention to. Point in case: it's rumoured that Team Blue will release a 100% E-core mobile chip, with a big integrated GPU, with its next-generation architecture.

Admittedly, there's not an awful lot to go with Golden Pig Upgrade Pack's post on Weibo (via Wccftech), but what's there is interesting. The alleged processor will comprise eight E-cores and a 12 Xe-core GPU, and in the case of the latter, that's actually more than enough to run plenty of games at 1080p with a decent frame rate.
