Intel is developing "Raptor Lake Next" desktop processors as an update to its Socket LGA-1700 lineup, targeting users limited by DDR4 memory costs. Two chips have appeared in shipping manifests: the 16-core 99DLMV (8 P-Cores, 8 E-Cores, 3.5 GHz, 30 MB cache, 125 W TDP) and the 20-core 99DLMT (8 P-Cores, 12 E-Cores, 2.1 GHz, 33 MB cache, 65 W TDP). These align with rumors of a replacement for the Core i5-14600K.
GIGABYTE has released BIOS updates for B760 and H610 motherboards, expecting launch in early 2027. The chips may launch before or alongside the "Nova Lake" platform as a DDR4-compatible alternative. Laptop variants may carry Core 2000 HX branding, while desktop naming remains unknown.
