52-Core Intel Nova Lake CPUs Could Draw Up to 474 Watts Before Manual OC
Here's a quick summary of what we've heard about Intel's next-generation Nova Lake CPUs: they're going to feature new architectures for both P-cores and E-cores, they're going to come with as many as 52 total cores, and the full load power of such a chip may exceed 700 watts. "Full load power" in this case refers to a fully unlocked CPU, though; Intel will set power limits well below that value. At 474 watts, apparently.
That information comes from this tweet by Laurent's Choice, which is known as "LC Tech Leaks (And News)" on Xwitter. He specifically remarks that Intel's guidance for motherboard makers is "474 watts for a nominal performance on dual computing SKU", which we take to mean that Intel's PL2, or short-term turbo power limit, is 474W on Nova Lake processors with dual compute tiles.
We're willing to make that assumption because Jaykihn, who is...
