Intel, Nova Lake

Intel's Nova Lake CPU reportedly has up to 52 cores — Coyote Cove P-cores and Arctic Wolf E-cores onboard
Jaykihn has listed three Nova Lake configurations that Intel is reportedly considering at the moment: 52 cores (16P + 32E + 4LPE), 28 cores (8P + 16E + 4LPE), and 16 cores (4P + 8E + 4LPE). The initial claim portrays the 52-core SKU as a dual 8P+16E design with four LPE cores (likely on the SoC Tile).
