Intel’s next-generation “Nova Lake” and “Razer Lake” architectures appear online in the Linux kernel, revealing Team Blue’s future ambitions for the CPU market.
Intel Nova Lake & Razer Lake CPU Series Apparently Now Confirmed to be Released, PCI ID Appears in Linux Kernel
While Intel’s modern CPU lineup, like the Arrow Lake-S, hasn’t managed to show much industry sales traction, it wouldn’t be wrong to say that the company looks committed to the future here. Next-generation Nova Lake and Razer Lake PCI IDs appear on Linux (via @GawroskiT), not only validating the naming scheme but also confirming certain product lineups, such as Nova Lake-H (NVL-H) and Nova Lake-S (NVL-S) .

Details surrounding the aforementioned CPU lineup are limited for now, but based on previous rumors, Intel Nova Lake will be the true successor to the Arrow Lake-S lineup and should be part of the “Core Ultra 400” series, given that Team Blue remains consistent with naming scheme here. In terms of specifications, Nova Lake, in general, is said to feature either Intel’s 14A or TSMC’s 2nm process, depending on how the two nodes pan out.
We recently saw a leak from Dell about the Nova Lake-H SKU, confirming 20W, 40W, and 80W TDP options, and that was the only information that hinted at what the next-gen lineup of phones would be capable of. As far as Razer Lake is concerned, in a previous report, we discussed how the Razer Lake-S would replace the Nova Lake-S, and as far as specific details are concerned, we currently don’t know what to expect from the lineup, aside from the fact that it will have a SKU S, M and H series.
As for release dates, it can be assumed that Intel’s Nova Lake is slated to launch in 2026, while Razer Lake could appear in 2027, depending on how Team Blue adjusts its future roadmap. Given the latest PCI ID list, it’s safe to say that development is underway, and it’s exciting to see.
