Intel will unveil Panther Lake handhelds, a 52-core Nova Lake desktop preview, and 288-core Clearwater Forest servers at Computex 2026.
Intel will preview Nova Lake, a 52-core desktop chip, with a new LGA 1954 socket at Computex 2026.
KEY POINTS
- Over 90% of Nova Lake's compute tiles will be manufactured by TSMC on its N2 process, not Intel's own fabs.
- Clearwater Forest, Intel's 288-core Xeon server chip, uses 18A and Foveros Direct 3D stacking with a 17% IPC uplift.
- Intel's AI client and server products serve as proof-of-concept to convince Apple, Amazon, and others of 18A's competitiveness.
- Intel's foundry business still loses $2.4 billion per quarter while competing to replace TSMC as a manufacturing partner.
