Intel's next-gen Nova Lake-S desktop 'Core Ultra 400' series CPUs to support DDR5-8000 natively, up to 10000MT/s also supported, 26 PCIe Gen5 lanes.

Where, you might ask, for art thou, Intel? According to the latest rumour, it might finally have an answer to X3D when it launches its next-gen Nova Lake CPUs in 2026, or perhaps early 2027.

Intel's upcoming Core Ultra 9 'Nova Lake-S' desktop CPUs will reportedly feature up to 52 cores, DDR5-8000 memory support, and 32 PCIe 5.0 lanes. What a beast!
