Intel Nova Lake Leak Shows Bigger Core Counts Don't Mean Higher Power Rating
A new leak about Intel's next-generation Nova Lake CPUs reveals the numerical names of the upcoming chips, their core counts, and base TDPs. Most of the specs line up with existing rumors, suggesting Nova Lake will be both powerful and efficient, VideoCardz reports.A broad overall performance indicator is a CPU's power rating, usually expressed as a single number—thermal design power (TDP)—in watts (W). Intel made a big push to boost efficiency after its 14th-generation desktop chips, which were known for drawing a lot of power and easily hitting thermal limits.
