The Hot Take: It's going to be interesting if Intel can make a sudden comeback with actual functional management. I have a feeling this is going to be my next system.
Some high-end motherboards for Intel's upcoming Nova Lake processors have been tipped to include a dual-lever retention mechanism called "2L-ILM." We've seen something similar before with LGA 2011, but that a server platform. Boards with 2L-ILM will live alongside standard ILM (1L-ILM?) variants that are cheaper to produce.

The Hot Take: It appears intel is back on the offensive and actually innovating again. This is what competition is supposed to bring us.
Intel's next-gen Nova Lake-S CPUs will feature a 44-core "Dual Compute Tile" CPU config instead of a 42-core configuration. Intel Nova Lake-S 42-Core Desktop CPU Spec Upgraded To 44 Cores, Retains Dual Compute Tile Config With bLLC A few months back, we reported that Intel was working on a range of Nova Lake-S Desktop CPUs that will come in 52, 42, 28, and 24 core configurations, all featuring bLLC cache. It looks like one of these SKUs will be getting a spec upgrade. As per Jaykihn, the 42-core spec has now been upgraded to 44 cores, featuring 16 P-Cores (2x8) and […]Read full article at https://wccftech.com/intel-updates-nova-lake-s-desktop-44-core-dual-compute-tile-cpu/

The Hot Take: If this is true, I feel ARM may have serious competition on their hands.
Many believe that Apple makes the most efficient laptop chips and that MacBooks have the best battery life because the Arm ISA supposedly offers superior performance and efficiency over the crufty x86 ISA. But that is not the case. Apple's products are relatively strong because Apple's engineers do an excellent job at designing them for a

The Hot Take: I really hope that the rumors of Intel following AMD with keeping chipsets and sockets around longer. This new board and chip with these prices is crazy expensive these days.
With some leaks, a single screenshot is enough to keep the rumor mill churning for a few days. With Intel Nova Lake-S, things have gotten a bit more uncomfortable for anyone still hoping for a loose collection of speculations: Since early February, several separate clues have emerged that all point in the same direction. First, […]
