Overview

• Shipping and test manifests referencing NVL‑S on the LGA‑1954 platform include entries for "28C & 52C," indicating work on 28‑core and 52‑core desktop parts.
• Leaked breakdowns describe the 52‑core model as two compute tiles totaling 16 P‑cores and 32 E‑cores plus 4 low‑power E‑cores on the SoC tile.
• An engineering sample has been cited at 4.8 GHz, which sources characterize as preliminary and not indicative of final clocks.
• Reports suggest P‑cores will forgo SMT and that bLLC cache variants are planned to target gaming performance against AMD’s 3D V‑Cache chips.
• The move to LGA‑1954 would require new motherboards, with reports pointing to engineering samples later in 2025 and broader launch expectations in 2026, none of which Intel has confirmed.
