Intel Nova Lake Core Ultra 4000 Naming Now Extends Across All Desktop And Mobile CPUS
Earlier in the month, we covered a rumour that Intel was planning on using the Core Ultra 4000 designation for the desktop SKUs, as well as the high-end, high performance mobile CPU models. Now, the same source has seemingly corrected themselves, stating that the naming convention extends across the boards to all mobile SKUs.

The naming convention "Core Ultra 4000" for Intel's desktop and mobile CPUs has now extended to all SKUs, according to a recent update from serial leakster Jaykihn. This correction comes after an earlier rumour suggested the designation would only apply to high-end mobile models. Jaykihn's post on October 16th states that both the H-Series and suffix-less Nova Lake mobile CPUs will adopt the new Core Ultra 4000 Series naming convention.
This move appears to echo Intel's historical naming scheme from a decade ago, similar to the Sandy Bridge, Ivy Bridge, and Haswell microarchitectures, but differs from the 9th Generation Coffee Lake-S and 15th Generation Arrow Lake, which used a five-digit naming convention. For example, all Nova Lake SKUs – Nova Lake-P, Nova Lake-U, and Nova Lake-UL – should now follow this four-digit naming scheme.
Additionally, several Nova Lake-S SKUs are reportedly designated with Core Ultra 9 4970K BFC, Core Ultra 9 4950K, and Core Ultra 7 4870K BFC, where BFC is believed to denote the chipmaker's branding for the big last-level cache (bLLC). The high-performance Nova Lake lineup is also expected to include a massive 52-core SKU. However, these are still rumors, and Intel has not officially announced its Nova Lake lineup yet.
