Neilbob In the current market, I can't see ANYTHING getting ignited. Except perhaps the occasional dodgy power connector or motherboard/CPU combo. Reply
Gururu I'm kind of happy Nova won't come out until 2027. IF AMD and Intel both announce at CES its going to be crazy. Reply

Intel Nova Lake CPU teaser lists official support for speedy DDR5-8000 RAM — B960 mini-PC’s upgraded power system signals Nova Lake’s higher power… : Read more Apparently, the next-generation chips support lightning-fast DDR5-8000 memory across all SO-DIMM memory ports. It doesn't support it, it outright requires it for the iGPU. Early projections pegged Intel's flagship Nova Lake chip with a PBP (Processor Base Power) of 175W, 17% higher than Arrow Lake's 125W. ComputerBase reportedly confirmed the data on the site. Kinda close….but not really?!?! 17% above 125 would be 146W Also with the pretty powerful iGPU a higher power draw should be a given. Reply

Thunder64 TerryLaze said: It doesn't support it, it outright requires it for the iGPU. Bunk. It requires it or it gets renamed "Intel Graphics". I actually like the idea of a memory bandwidth requirement to be able to use the proper name. But no it is not "required". Reply

JayT204500 And Intel will still be using SODIMM memory for this new CPU. How much longer do we have to wait for CAMM2 memory? Reply
Thunder64 TerryLaze said: Yes, it requires it to be the product that it's supposed to be…that's a requirement. Semantics. You could say that about any iGPU. It is not a requirement. It will still function. Reply
TerryLaze Thunder64 said: Semantics. Yes! Absolutely! Nobody said that it's required just for it to work, but it is still required for the GPU to be the GPU you pay for. Reply
