Rumored Intel Nova Lake table lists three 'BFC' chips with up to 144MB of L3
A table rumored to hold Intel's upcoming models for Nova Lake processors as surfaced, now referring to the heavily-rumored bLLC as "BFC."
Intel's upcoming Nova Lake desktop CPUs have been rumored to include three models with the BFC (big last level cache) tag, indicating a significant L3 cache. These models will form the initial NVL-S lineup. The top-of-the-line model is the Core Ultra 9 4970K BFC, featuring 28 cores with 8 P-cores, 16 E-cores, 4 LPE-cores, a 125W TDP, and a 32-EU integrated GPU.
Additional models with the same BFC tag and similar specifications, such as the Core Ultra 9 4950K and Core Ultra 9 4900 BFC, are also anticipated. The Core Ultra 5 4650KF model is the only one in the lineup without an integrated GPU. Intel's use of the BFC designation is believed to signify a larger L3 cache, a feature rumored to compete with AMD's X3D chips in the gaming market.
