Intel may develop a high-performance mobile processor called Nova Lake-AX that could challenge AMD's premium offerings. Leaker OneRaichu suggests the chip would combine 8 performance cores with 16 efficiency cores plus low-power units for 28 total cores. The processor would feature 384 execution units powered by Xe3P graphics architecture. This configuration translates to 48 Xe3 graphics cores that could deliver performance comparable to mid-range dedicated graphics cards. The chip would support LPDDR5X memory speeds reaching 10,667 MT/s.
The graphics capability represents a significant leap from current Intel processors that contain only 8 Xe2 cores. AMD's competing Strix Halo processor offers 40 compute units based on RDNA 3.5 architecture. However, the same leaker warns that Intel has not confirmed development plans for Nova Lake-AX. The processor remains speculative despite the ambitious specifications that would position Intel as a serious competitor in high-performance mobile computing.
