Speaking of years to come, the slide lists Razor Lake and Hammer Lake processors that will succeed Nova Lake-S sometime after the fourth quarter of 2027.

Gururu The silver lining of the memory/storage crisis is that the new generation of CPUs will probably be priced fairly. If so, a CPU/mobo upgrade might be pretty reasonable soon enough. Reply
thestryker Even though each pair of Coyote Cove cores will reportedly share a 2 MB L2 cache It's 2MB per P-core, but they're clustered in pairs so each has access up to 4MB. Gururu said: If so, a CPU/mobo upgrade might be pretty reasonable soon enough Motherboard BOM prices are going up so I wouldn't expect any miracles here. Companies may be willing to eat into their margins a bit around launch, but I suspect that would only be on higher end boards where there's more margin to be had. Reply
