While there are some rumours that Nova Lake will be built on Intel's future 14A node, that is rather speculative, what with Intel yet to prove that 18A is working well. Moreover,

Intel's next-generation Nova Lake CPUs spotted in new shipping manifests, this is the next-gen mainstream consumer CPU platform from Intel.

Recently exposed manifests reveal that Intel has begun shipping test samples of its next-generation server and desktop processors. While much about these upcoming CPUs remains uncertain,

Thanks to a leaked shipping manifest, it looks like Intel may be sending early models of its upcoming Nova Lake CPUs to a select few. The notes on the shipping label suggest that the CPU in question was sent free of charge for research purposes,

Nova Lake is expected to require a new socket, and unless Intel ports Panther Lake to a desktop, LGA 1851 could be one of the shortest-lived platforms in Intel's history. In addition, Linux patches indicate Intel is actively developing software support for upcoming CPU generations, including Nova Lake and its supposed successor, "Razor Lake."

有关Nova Lake的信息非常少，据说会升级新的大小核架构，代号分别为Coyote Cove、Arctic Wolf，还有说法称会更换新的接口，但都还不能确认。 按照Intel的典型产品开发周期，一款处理器从流片、点亮到最终发布大约得15-24个月，从最早的ES1工程样品到最终发布则是1年左右，但不清楚Nova Lake现在已经到了哪一步。
