Nova Lake is a codename for Core Ultra Series 4 desktop and mobile processors developed by Intel. Nova Lake is expected to use a new LGA 1954 socket. The first Nova Lake processors are expected to launch in late 2026.

Nova Lake is expected to be the first consumer platform to support AVX10.1, AVX10.2 and APX extensions.

Nova Lake is expected to include SKUs with bLLC (big Last Level Cache), to compete with AMD's 3D V-Cache after a long period of lagging behind in gaming benchmarks.https://wccftech.com/intel-nova-lake-core-ultra-series-4-desktop-cpu-die-skus-detailed/
