It's taken its sweet time, but Intel's response to AMD's X3D chips is starting to look tasty
Intel's upcoming Nova Lake CPUs, expected to launch early next year, are rumored to feature a 'BFC' variant with a large on-die cache, directly competing with AMD's X3D chips. Leaked specifications suggest a range of Core Ultra 4000-series processors, with the top-end Core Ultra 9 4970K BFC and a lower-power Core Ultra 9 4900 BFC model. This move aims to boost gaming performance by increasing CPU cache, a feature AMD has leveraged since 2022.
