Intel's upcoming Nova Lake desktop processors are rumored to have significantly higher sustained boost power limits (PL2), potentially reaching 474 Watts for dual-compute-tile models. This is indicated by the presence of three 8-pin CPU power connectors on new Z990 motherboards, a substantial increase from the current 250W limit. While these high-power chips are likely aimed at professionals competing with AMD's high-end offerings, standard single-tile Nova Lake processors are expected to maintain current power configurations.
