Intel Nova Lake (16th gen) on next gen platform/socket (LGA-1954)

Is Nova lake the ones thats going to have the equivalent of the X3D tech? If not then I dont see Nova lake doing much at all

Yes Nova Lake Core Ultra 9 and Core Ultra 7 will be the only 2 CPUs to feature bLLC on both P and E cores that will compete with AMD X3D CPUs. Core Ultra 5 and Core Ultra 3 will not have bLLC.

Yeap! Intel's version of X3D LLC

52 cores (16P cores!)

In which case im definitely looking forward to see the results. with the sheer amount of cores it has, im sure it will dominate on multicore workloads, but lets see how it does for gaming. Very possible it can outperform Zen5.

Zen6 however is a different story with the rumoured bigger 12 core CCD's and potential 6ghz+ clock speeds

It's going to be great to see Intel compete with AMD again. It would be better for the consumer if Intel beats Zen6 with Nova Lake - as it will force AMD to innovate and be more exciting with future generations.

Intel are going to need more big cores to get anywhere close to AMD on Windows 11.

The sheer number of little cores could be impressive on the right Linux kernel though.

Need more than just chucking a ton of cache at it for Intel's architectures to catch up with X3D - in fact you don't necessarily need a lot of extra cache to do it with Intel's architectures if other tweaks are done.

Despite I'm not a fan of them E cores do fairly well on Windows in competing against AMD - otherwise the likes of the 14700K (due to the addition of 12 E cores) would fall flat on their face vs AMD in a range of tasks. In my opinion they can't save Arrow Lake though and probably not Nova Lake if they stick with an AL like approach.

Looking forward to benchmarks of Core Ultra 400, really hope it competes with Zen6!

Be lovely to have the 24 lanes of gen5 PCI-E from the CPU as well, two SSD's at full speed as well as GPU at X16.
 
Potential up to 144mb of cache on the intel X3D which is pretty damn impressive.

Looks like AMD will finally be challenged in the CPU space

It gets better, Kope says top level chip has dual cache- 288mb!

Intel Nova Lake-S CPU Lineup Include Four bLLC Models: 48 Core, 40 Core, 24 Core, 20 Core With 288 MB Dual & 144 MB Caches To Tackle Ryzen 3D V-Cache

Intel's Nova Lake-S Desktop CPUs will reportedly include at least four models with bLLC cache in dual and single compute tile flavors.

Would be very surprised if doesn't beat Zen 5 X3D but dunno about Zen 6 X3D. Best case scenario for consumer is they just go back to one upping each other each gen and crown keeps passing along.
