Intel leak suggests Q1 2027 release for its next generation of gaming CPUs
Intel's next generation of gaming CPUs, codenamed Nova Lake-S, is reportedly targeting a Q1 2027 release, according to leaked roadmap information. Production is expected to begin later this year, and the new processors will utilize an LGA 1954 socket, requiring new motherboards. The leak also suggests future support for 'Razor Lake' and 'Hammer Lake' generations and highlights a potential 'bLLC' cache that could improve gaming performance, similar to AMD's 3D V-Cache.
