Intel Nova Lake Reportedly Ditches The Expected Core Ultra 400 Name For Laptop H And U Chips, As All Five Families Adopt Core Ultra 4000
Key Points:
- Intel is expected to adopt a unified "Core Ultra 4000" naming convention for all variants of its upcoming Nova Lake processor families, covering both desktop and laptop CPUs.
- This naming scheme has been confirmed through leaks, early engineering samples, and monitoring tools like AIDA64, with the leaker @jaykihn0 affirming its use across all Nova Lake lineups.
- The unified naming will apply to Nova Lake-S (desktop), Nova Lake-HX (high-performance laptops), Nova Lake-H, Nova Lake-U, and Nova Lake-UL families, simplifying processor identification for consumers.
- Intel has not officially announced this naming convention yet, but the consistent leaks strongly indicate its adoption for the Nova Lake series.
- Nova Lake processors are expected to launch in Q1 2027 on the new LGA 1954 platform, with some models, including a 52-core flagship chip, arriving later in the year.
