Seven new PCI IDs have been added to the Linux kernel, depicting upcoming processors from Intel (via Tomasz Gawroński). The image suggests preliminary enablement for Panther Lake, Wildcat Lake, Nova Lake, and Razer Lake CPUs is underway. This leak does not necessarily indicate that all these processors will be released. However, the consistency of family codenames with previous leaks suggests they could see the light of day.
The shared snippet details code allows the Linux kernel to recognize and work with these new CPUs. PCI IDs or Peripheral Component Interconnect IDs are unique codes used to identify devices connected to a system. The listed processors include several shorthands: LNL: Lunar Lake, PTL: Panther Lake, NVL: Nova Lake, WCL: Wildcat Lake, and RZL: Razer Lake. Suffixes appended after the dash depict the market segment or specific features: P: Performance (Mobile), H: Highest performance (Mobile), S: Desktop, M: Thin and lightweight (Mobile).
