According to a detailed post on X, Intel's next-gen Nova Lake desktop CPU will be getting over double the cores of its existing Arrow Lake chips. The top Core Ultra 9 model allegedly packs a staggering 52 cores. But it's arguably the mid-range Ultra 5 that's most interesting given it boasts more cores in every category than Intel's incumbent top desktop processor.
The current Intel Core Ultra 9 285K has eight Performance and 16 Efficient cores. However, according to the X post, there will be a Nova Lake Core Ultra 5 model with eight Performance, 16 Efficient and another four Low Power Efficient cores.
