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).
Krambu is seeking approval to build an AI‑focused data center on the former Bonner Mill Industrial Park in Missoula County, Montana.
