Intel reportedly cans 12Xe option for Nova Lake-S desktop — gaming APU design said to resurface with Razor Lake
Following rumors of a Nova Lake desktop SKU with 12 Xe3P cores, tipster Jaykihn suggests that Intel has canned the design and moved the target to next-gen Razor Lake instead.
Intel reportedly has abandoned plans for a Nova Lake-S desktop variant featuring 12 Xe3P graphics cores, according to a tipster. This particular design was intended to offer a budget-friendly entry point into gaming desktops without requiring a discrete GPU. The cancelled SKU was supposed to include 4 primary cores, 8 efficiency cores, and 4 low-power enhanced cores, alongside the 12 Xe3P cores. However, Intel has announced that they plan to reintroduce the Xe3P architecture with their upcoming Razor Lake-S generation.
