Even the very lowest end Nova Lake gets 12 cores, with a 4P, 4E and 4 LP-E split.<\/p>\n<p>If true, Nova Lake will be the biggest jump in raw CPU performance from Intel in some time. Intel&#8217;s desktop chips have topped out at eight Performance cores since the <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/intel-core-i9-12900k-review-benchmarks-performance\/\" target=\"_blank\">Alder Lake generation launched back in late 2021<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>That generation also offered eight Efficient cores. But while the Raptor Lake follow-up boosted the E-Core count to 16 a year later, Intel hasn&#8217;t increased core counts since. Indeed, Intel actually deprecated the total thread count when Arrow Lake arrived in October last year on account of removing support for HyperThreading, which enables Performance cores to support two software threads in parallel when present.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure inline-layout\" data-bordeaux-image-check >\n<div class='image-full-width-wrapper'>\n<div class='image-widthsetter' style=\"max-width:1920px;\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:56.25%;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"4PZ9HRWfXoX6foTv6kBWun\" name=\"amd_ryzen_9_9950X_05.jpg\" alt=\"A photo of an AMD Ryzen 9 9950X processor\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/intels-next-gen-nova-lake-cpu-rumoured-to-get-up-to-52-cores-over-double-the-count-of-arrow-lake-across-all-segments.jpg\" mos=\"\" align=\"middle\" fullscreen=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" attribution=\"\" endorsement=\"\" class=\"\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption itemprop=\"caption description\" class=\" inline-layout\"><span class=\"caption-text\">AMD currently tops out at 16 cores on the desktop. <\/span><span class=\"credit\" itemprop=\"copyrightHolder\">(Image credit: Future)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Anyway, if these core counts are correct, the multi-threading performance of Nova Lake will be pretty epic. If Nova Lake also brings improved IPC from its Performance cores, thought to be codenamed Coyote Cove, and Efficient cores, codenamed Arctic Wolf, then the overall performance uptick could be spectacular.<\/p>\n<p>As for how this compares with AMD&#8217;s future plans, it isn&#8217;t totally clear.

The former would probably mean a 24-core top desktop CPU, the latter as many as 64 cores given AMD&#8217;s top desktop CPU conventionally has two CPU core chiplets.<\/p>\n<p>However, the 32-core chiplet is probably based on the Zen 6c architecture with compact cores with the full Zen 6 chiplet topping out at either 12 or 16 cores. That would give total core counts of 24 and 32 respectively. With multithreading, you&#8217;d be looking at 48 or 64 threads.<\/p>\n<p>If you take a pessimistic view, that&#8217;s 48 threads from 24 full fat Zen 6 cores versus 52 mixed cores from Intel. Game on. However you slice it, it certainly looks like desktop PCs will benefit from a very meaty upgrade when Nova Lake and Zen 6 arrive.<\/p>\n<div class=\"fancy-box\">\n<div class=\"fancy_box-title\">Your next upgrade<\/div>\n<div class=\"fancy_box_body\">\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure \" >\n<div class='image-full-width-wrapper'>\n<div class='image-widthsetter' >\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:56.25%;\"><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"BX4FDWEFpGocKXBw8SLhsE\" name=\"nvidia-rtx-5090-16\" caption=\"\" alt=\"Nvidia RTX 5090 Founders Edition graphics card on different backgrounds\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/intels-next-gen-nova-lake-cpu-rumoured-to-get-up-to-52-cores-over-double-the-count-of-arrow-lake-across-all-segments-1.jpg\" mos=\"\" link=\"\" align=\"\" fullscreen=\"\" width=\"\" height=\"\" attribution=\"\" endorsement=\"\" class=\"pinterest-pin-exclude\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption itemprop=\"caption description\" class=\"\"><span class=\"credit\" itemprop=\"copyrightHolder\">(Image credit: Future)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"fancy-box__body-text\"><a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/best-cpu-for-gaming\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Best CPU for gaming<\/strong><\/a>: The top chips from Intel and AMD.<br \/><a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/best-gaming-motherboards\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Best gaming motherboard<\/strong><\/a>: The right boards.<br \/><a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/the-best-graphics-cards\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Best graphics card<\/strong><\/a>: Your perfect pixel-pusher awaits.<br \/><a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/best-ssd-for-gaming\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Best SSD for gaming<\/strong><\/a>: Get into the game ahead of the rest.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>As for exactly when that will happen, we&#8217;d bank on late 2026 for Nova Lake in terms of a launch date with early 2027 a more realistic target for widespread availability.
