Intel's Core Ultra 9 4995HX is leaked as the top-tier Nova Lake laptop processor, featuring an 8+16+4+2 layout for 28 CPU cores and 2 Xe3 GPU cores. This configuration adds four more cores than current Arrow Lake-HX chips, introducing a new LPE cluster. The layout aligns with earlier reports and fits the Core Ultra 4000 branding.
Intel has not confirmed specifications, and details like clock speeds, cache, and power limits remain unknown. The leak also reveals the Core Ultra 9 4970H with a 4+8+4+12 configuration (16 CPU cores, 12 Xe3P iGPU), matching Panther Lake's flagship core count but leveraging newer Coyote Cove and Arctic Wolf cores. The HX compute tile, built on TSMC N2P, measures 14.8 x 6.6 mm (~98 mm²).
Nova Lake-H and HX laptops are expected around CES 2027, though this timeline is tentative.
