Intel's promising upcoming Nova Lake-S lineup reportedly includes an iGPU-focused SKU with 12 Xe3P cores — new leak claims a midrange 16-core CPU with powerful integrated graphics is in the works

Rumors suggest Intel's upcoming Nova Lake-S lineup will include a 16-core CPU with a powerful integrated GPU featuring 12 Xe3P cores, aimed at budget-conscious gamers seeking modern gaming capabilities without a discrete GPU. This SKU is expected to have a mix of P-cores and E-cores, without a bLLC, and could compete with AMD's Ryzen G-series APUs. The Xe3P architecture is anticipated to enhance integrated graphics performance, potentially outperforming AMD's current offerings. While these leaked specs are preliminary and subject to change, Intel seems focused on delivering competitive integrated graphics solutions in its upcoming lineup.
