  "account": "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.",
  "summary": "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.
