The Arrow Lake refresh expected in March is Intel's upcoming desktop family, but the chipmaker's true next-gen offering will be Nova Lake. Set to debut later this year, it should bring significant architectural improvements, including a bump to 52-core configs and the inclusion of big last-level cache (bLLC) that rivals AMD's X3D, according to rumors. Now, a new leak claims Intel is also planning to drastically increase the maximum power consumption of these chips to 700W.
