Intel Razer Lake, Nova Lake, and Wildcat Lake CPU PCI IDs have been added to Linux

Seven new PCI IDs have been added to the Linux kernel, which depict upcoming processors from Intel (via Thomas Gawronski). The image indicates that initial enablement of Panther Lake, Wildcat Lake, Nova Lake, and Razer Lake CPUs is underway. This leak does not necessarily indicate that all of these processors will be released. However, the consistency of the family’s codenames with previous leaks suggests they may see the light of day.

The shared snippet details code allows the Linux kernel to recognize and work with these new CPUs. PCI IDs or Peripheral Interconnect IDs are unique codes used to identify devices connected to a system. The processors listed include several abbreviations: LNL: Lunar Lake, PTL: Panther Lake, NVL: Nova Lake, WCL: Wildcat Lake, and RZL: Razer Lake. Suffixes after the hyphen depict a market segment or specific features: P: performance (mobile), H: highest performance (mobile), S: desktop, M: thin and lightweight (mobile).

We have Panther Lake in P and H variants, with varying TDPs, which they sample It is said It is already running at eight customers. Previous leaks I suggest a low power U version as well. Likewise, PTL-H Rumor To deliver up to 16 cores and 12 Xe3-core-based iGPU (integrated graphics processing unit). Next up is Nova Lake, which is said to be Intel’s next major desktop release and is expected to launch by 2026-27. Moving on, the suffix is ​​lower Wildcat Lake It is rumored to be a successor to the current generation Alder Lake-N and Twin Lake CPUs for minicomputers and low-power systems.

Last on the list are rumours Lake Reiserfollowing Nova Lake in Intel’s product portfolio. The RZL-M, likely the successor to Lunar Lake, has been identified, but interestingly there is no mention of a desktop RZL-S. Since intel unacceptable As an on-package memory approach for future CPUs, Razer Lake-M may adopt a different strategy. Of course, this list is incomplete, and we expect a barrage of changes as the final specifications are finalized.
