Message: [QUOTE="Munyaradzi Mafaro, post: 63426, member: 636"] Intel confirmed the processor architectures for its Nova Lake and Diamond Rapids central processing units through the 59th edition of its Instruction Set Architecture Extensions reference. The client-focused Nova Lake chips will feature Coyote Cove performance cores and Arctic Wolf efficiency cores for a 2026 launch. Desktop variants will support up to 52 cores on the LGA 1954 socket, while mobile configurations reach 28 cores on high-performance platforms. Diamond Rapids server processors will utilize Panther Cove performance cores and support up to 256 cores, without simultaneous multithreading capabilities. The company acknowledged that removing multithreading capabilities was an error for data center applications and will restore the feature in subsequent Coral Rapids models. Nova Lake will compete against AMD Zen 6 Ryzen processors, while Diamond Rapids targets the enterprise EPYC lineup. [/QUOTE]
