{Hardware} leaker LC Tech Leaks, who has been the earlier supply of different hardware-related leaks surrounding Intel, has this week revealed alleged efficiency benchmarks for a high-end processor throughout the upcoming Nova Lake-S technology of desktop chips.
The CPU-Z information shared by LC Tech Leaks additionally suggests Intel might as soon as once more change its naming technique for this newest technology, with the leaked processor in query being named because the Intel Core Extremely 9 4950K, with 28 cores.
The present technology of Intel Core Extremely chips use a three-digit mannequin quantity after the technology quantity, for instance, the Core Extremely 9 285K. This leak suggests Nova Lake-S might transfer to 4 digits, matching the naming conference Intel used earlier than introducing the Core Extremely collection and probably giving it room to deliver extra chip variants to market.
The leaker goes on to present benchmarks for the processor in query, claiming a single-thread rating of ‘close to 1,000’, and a multi-thread rating of ‘close to 20,000’. If these claims maintain water, it suggests this newest chip will comfortably beat considered one of Intel’s quickest processors thus far from the Arrow Lake-S technology, the Intel Core Extremely 9 285K, which holds single and multi-thread scores on CPU-Z of 890 and 18,428 respectively.
If the outcomes are actual, it is nonetheless price noting that the processor seen within the benchmarks is probably going an unfinished instance, and efficiency might change by the point it reaches full-scale manufacturing. Actual-world efficiency additionally paints a greater image than merely benchmarks alone.
Whereas we’re but to listen to a confirmed launch date for Intel’s Nova Lake-S technology of CPUs, it beforehand claimed a 2026 launch window. There’s some excellent news although, as earlier this month, Intel confirmed that in contrast to AMD’s upcoming Zen 6 processor technology, the Nova Lake structure will debut on client chips first, with server-variant chips having to attend till additional down the road.
