The chip has a core-configuration of 16 P-cores, 32 E-cores, and 4 low-power island E-cores. For reference, a current Core Ultra 9 285K with Extreme power profile can pull up to 490 W PL4 in short bursts. <\/p>\n<p>In related news, leaks by Jaykihn shed light on the way clock speeds of the various CPU core types are handled. The base frequency affects the clock speeds of P-cores and E-cores located in the Compute complex, but not those of the low-power island E-cores. &#8220;Nova Lake-S&#8221; will be Intel&#8217;s first desktop processors to implement low-power islands, allowing the processor to clock-gate almost the entire compute complex when the PC is idling.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.techpowerup.com\/img\/ZMXrUDodXwPKynjx.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" data-width=\"1707\" data-height=\"960\" data-fancybox=\"g346165\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/ZMXrUDodXwPKynjx_thm.jpg\" width=\"231\" height=\"130\" alt=\"\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The top Intel Core Ultra Series 4 &#8220;Nova Lake-S&#8221; desktop processor model, which comes with a total core-count&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":276769,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[34295,155769,198,3028,9522,155768,6163,13207,53946,104344,33813,111,43,139,40727,155770,155771,69,10112,2961,145,3010],"class_list":["post-276768","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-technology","tag-34295","tag-bllc","tag-can","tag-chip","tag-disabled","tag-https-www-techpowerup-com-346165-top-intel-nova-lake-chip-can-pull-up-to-700-w-at-max-load-with-power-limits-disabled","tag-intel","tag-lake","tag-limits","tag-load","tag-max","tag-new-zealand","tag-news","tag-newzealand","tag-nova","tag-nova-lake","tag-nova-lake-s","tag-nz","tag-power","tag-pull","tag-technology","tag-top"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/276768","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=276768"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/276768\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/276769"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=276768"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=276768"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=276768"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
