Leaked information regarding the upcoming Intel Nova Lake-S desktop platform has emerged through the Chinese manufacturer Decenta. The company's M26-NVLS-ATX09 motherboard SKU indicates the use of a new LGA1954 socket, with listings confirming both Q970 and B960 chipset variants.
The chipsets differ primarily in expansion capacity. The Q970 reportedly provides 44 total PCIe lanes, including eight PCIe 5.0 lanes from the chipset. Conversely, the B960 offers 34 total lanes and lacks chipset-supplied PCIe 5.0 connectivity. Both chipsets support PCIe 4.0, though the Q970 features 12 chipset lanes versus the B960's 14.
Decenta's motherboard supports up to 256 GB of DDR5-6400 memory across four slots. Connectivity options include PCIe 5.0 slots, two M.2 storage connectors, and a legacy PCI slot. Wireless expansion is handled via an M.2 E-Key socket compatible with Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 6.x, while display output supports three simultaneous monitors.
Market positioning varies by chipset, as the Q970 includes Intel vPro management but excludes memory overclocking. The B960 supports memory overclocking but omits vPro features. Additionally, Decenta claims 138 TOPS of combined AI performance, though these figures remain unverified and likely depend on specific processor configurations.
