Intel leaks 44‑core Nova Lake‑S desktop processor, up from 42 cores
Intel’s upcoming Nova Lake‑S desktop line now includes a leaked 44‑core SKU, replacing the previously announced 42‑core model. The design uses two identical 8P+12E compute tiles, freeing up 6P+12E tiles that could be sold as lower‑priced, locked non‑K variants with on‑die big last‑level cache (bLLC).
Tolomatic introduced the RSX50, a new electric linear actuator that delivers 50 tons of force while occupying nearly the same frame size as the 25‑ton RSX25.
