Intel Nova Lake-S is expected to be announced by Intel in the middle or end of this year, where they will return to manufacturing their own processing chips after the previous two generations of CPUs using TSMC.
The existing Arrow Lake processor series uses Intel-800 series motherboards that use the LGA-1851 socket that was only introduced at the end of last year. Recently, there is information that says that the Nova Lake-S processor series will use a new, larger socket, LGA-1954.
This screenshot is shown on the shipping document, which shows the code name Nova Lake (NVL) and also the new socket name, LGA-1954. This is quite a new detail, because we already know that these processing chips have been sent out for initial testing.
It was also reported that previously, many component reviewers have asked if the LGA-1851 socket will still be supported on future CPUs, but Intel has not answered the question. And now, it seems that we already know Intel's answer with these details.
In comparison, AMD, which introduced motherboards with the AM5 socket for the AMD Ryzen 7000 series of processors in 2022, confirmed that they will use the motherboard series until at least 2027, and said that the Zen 6 processor, when it is launched, will be supported on AM5 motherboards.
