“Nova Lake-AX” specifications from Intel Surface: LPDDR5X, 48 Xe3 GPU Cores, and 28 CPU Cores

We discussed Intel’s strategy to compete with AMD in the APU market yesterday. The “Nova Lake-AX” SoC has an improved Xe3 GPU core cluster and a comparatively powerful CPU core architecture. Raichu, one of the most trustworthy leakers, has confirmed today what the new Nova Lake-AX configuration would entail. The AX SKUs will have a smaller CPU cluster, using only one tile with eight “Coyote Cove” P-cores and sixteen “Arctic Wolf” E-cores, in addition to the four-core LPE island, for a total of 28 cores. The AX edition removes the second CPU tile to make room for one of the largest iGPUs we’ve seen Intel include in its SoCs, whereas the Nova Lake-S is anticipated to feature up to two of those tiles.

Assuming the typical eight EUs per Xe core setup, this comes out to 384 Execution Units (EUs), or about 48 Xe3 cores. The total number of Xe3 cores, aside from the 384 EU count, is uncertain due to potential internal changes in how Xe3 cores process render slices. Additionally, Intel is combining this SoC with LPDDR5X memory, which runs at 9,600 or 10,667 MT/s and gives the 28 CPU cores and 384 EUs enough bandwidth via a 256-bit bus. Furthermore, according to Raichu, the launch is questionable, which implies that if Intel chooses to create the platform in large quantities, it is probably assessing its profitability. Like AMD’s APU, there might be a lot of interest, so we’ll have to wait and see if Intel approves the project for the general public.
