Key information
Recent leaks from X user Jaykihn suggest the Intel Core Ultra 9 4995HX will serve as the top-tier processor for the upcoming Nova Lake laptop series. While Intel has not officially verified these details, the chip is expected to follow the Core Ultra 4000 branding convention for high-performance HX components.
The 4995HX reportedly features an 8+16+4+2 core configuration, totaling 28 CPU cores. This setup includes 8 P-cores, 16 E-cores, 4 LPE cores, and 2 Xe3 GPU cores. This design adds four cores compared to current Arrow Lake-HX processors, specifically incorporating an LPE cluster that was previously absent.
Additional reports detail the Core Ultra 9 4970H, which utilizes a 4+8+4+12 layout. Performance improvements for this model are expected to stem from the integration of Coyote Cove P-cores, Arctic Wolf E-cores, and Xe3P graphics. Furthermore, the 8+16 HX compute tile is reportedly manufactured on the TSMC N2P process with a die size of approximately 98 mm².
Specific information regarding power figures, cache, and clock speeds remains unavailable. While current projections suggest that Nova Lake-H and HX laptops may debut around CES 2027, this timeline is considered tentative and unconfirmed by the manufacturer.
