Intel is already testing 24- and 28-core Nova Lake-S processors, they include support for AVX-512
Today we have been talking about the Nova Lake-S processorsupcoming Intel CPUs that will debut the silicon giant’s new cores. More news continues to appear about this next series of Intel processors, where it is said that the manufacturer is already testing the versions of these processors with 24 and 28 cores. Furthermore, as we had also said before, they will come with the AVX-512 instruction set enabled.
Detection in Linux logs with CPUID 300F15 and a July BIOS
Intel is already testing at least two of these references, with 24 and 28 coresand have been seen in the Intel GFX Linux logs. They have been identified as Intel Corporation Nova Lake Client Platform / NVL-Swith a CPUID 300F15 and the same BIOS for these two dated July 16.
The core configuration is 8+12+4 and 8+16+4 for 24 and 28 cores in total
Specifically, the first bat-nvls-1 It is mounted on a “NVL-S UDIMM 1DPC eDP CRB Fab2” board. This model is that of 24 cores and 24 threadsand that has a 3.4 GHz base speed. This model corresponds to the previously seen core configuration of 8+12+4.
The second bat-nvls-2 has been seen on an NVL-S UDIMM 1DPC OC EVCRB board, this model has 28 cores and 28 threadsand the Base clock speed is 3.2 GHz. Here we find a configuration of cores of 8+16+4 for this total of 28 cores.
Return of AVX-512 instructions with Intel Nova Lake-S
It seems that the rumors are true and the Nova Lake-S will bring back the AVX-512 instructionssince it has been seen in the records thanks to XSAVE.
Intel is preparing to present the first Nova Lake-S in 2026 with these new nuclei, and subsequently their Rumored availability for Q1 2027. According to rumors, the giant will launch new references with more cores and cache, up to 52 and 144MBduring the second quarter of next year.
