Intel’s next desktop CPU will reportedly be Nova Lake, bringing Panther Lake to mobile

There have been plenty of rumors surrounding the upcoming launch of the Intel Panther Lake processor, including that it would arrive in 2025. But now new rumors paint a different story – one that confirms previous rumors about Panther Lake is only available on mobile and that a new series, Nova Lake, will be the true successor to Arrow Lake.

A new rumor from leaker Jaykihn on X (and reported by Wcctech) claims that Nova Lake-S will replace Arrow Lake-S as the next desktop processor. In recent years, Intel has shifted its strategy from releasing a single line of processors that worked across all segments to multiple lineups that cater to different segments.
