Last month, NBD shipping documents linked Intel's next-gen "Nova Lake‑S" (aka "NVL‑S") desktop processor family to an LGA 1954 socket type. Given Team Blue's track record, consumers are not overly enthused by the prospect of another change in mounting profiles. Famously, the current-gen Core Ultra "Arrow Lake-S" CPU series required a fresh slate of motherboards design—centered around LGA1851. Fortunately, a late March-authored shipping manifest has indicated that a successor will leverage nigh identical dimensions. This intriguing leak was shared on social media by Ruby_Rapids—they happily surmised: "the package size of FCLGA1954 is 45×37.5 mm, too. Today's coolers are mechanically compatible with Nova Lake-S."
Despite leveraging a greater number of pins, the supposed LGA 1954 footprint could grant support for cooling solutions that were designed during the eras of LGA1851 and LGA1700. Naturally, a shift into next-gen Team Blue desktop processor territories will necessitate a fresh swath of mainboards. In sharp contrast, AMD enthusiasts remain happy about the AM5 socket's long-term prospects. According to official company timelines, Core Ultra "Nova Lake‑S" processors are "on track" for a loose 2026 launch window. 2 nm manufacturing details were leaked last month; indicating TSMC's involvement.
