They need to do something because AMD is just murdering them on all fronts.
Especially naming conventions. Never thought I’d see the day lol
Not true, on the manufacturing front TSMC is murdering them.
Also, they have their low-power laptop stuff, proving that Intel can develop at least one competitive chip :P
Following Panther Lake, Intel plans to launch Nova Lake CPUs in 2026. Nova Lake is expected to push the envelope even further, with early reports suggesting it could feature up to 52 cores using the Coyote Cove and Arctic Wolf architectures. The product will likely leverage a mix of Intel’s internal manufacturing and TSMC’s advanced nodes to improve yield and ensure supply chain resilience.
I wonder whether primary motivation for including TSMC in Nova Lake it to maintain competitive pressure on their foundry or if it is a forced risk management measure.
