Intel TCC Presentation Slide Outlines "Nova Lake-S & -U" & P-Core Only "Bartlett Lake-S" CPU Families

In a "Public Real-Time Gold Deck" presentation document, Intel has advertised a good number of current and upcoming processor platforms that offer support for Time Coordinated Computing (TCC). Earlier today, InstLatX64 highlighted interesting "in development" technologies that were mentioned on page 34. The PDF was uploaded—for public consumption—mid-way through May, but Team Blue's "TCC Experience" was last revised on September 2024 (according to a footnote). This is fairly dry material; covering edge applications—suitably capable processors are advertised as dealing with a combination: "of real-time workloads and best effort workloads on the same system, by leveraging many silicon and SW optimizations." Interestingly, this TCC support slide confirms the existence of furthest out "Nova Lake-S" desktop and "Nova Lake-U" mobile processors.

Up until last month, Intel's "Nova Lake" next-gen CPU family was a mostly leaked property—an alleged "matching LGA 1954" socket standard was unearthed very recently. Intel leadership anticipates a loose 2026 launch window. Rumors of a 12-core "Bartlett Lake-S" gaming processor turned up online in April (linked to LGA 1700), following continued speculative talk regarding a lineup of "pure P-core" variants. The latest "TCC Experience" roadmap points to "Bartlett Lake-S" processors arriving—before "Panther Lake"—under the banner of "Intel Core Series 2." A "Bartlett Lake-S 12P" category sits just above "Wildcat Lake" on the TCC slide's timeline. The latter seems to be a lower-end mobile CPU range, likely designed with power efficiency in mind.

Intel Nova Lake-S Socket Dimensions Turns Up in Shipping Doc; Possibly Compatible w/ Current Cooling Solutions

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.

Intel Sunsets "Deep Link" Technology Suite, Ending Future Development and Support

Intel is officially stepping back from its Deep Link suite of technologies. The confirmation came through a company representative on GitHub, confirming that active development has ceased. This follows a period when Intel quietly stopped highlighting Deep Link in newer offerings, such as its "Battlemage" GPUs. While the features might still work for those currently using Deep Link, don't expect any future updates or official assistance from Intel's support channels. If you cast your mind back to late 2020, you might recall Intel launching Deep Link. The core idea was to get Intel CPUs and their dedicated Arc GPUs working more effectively in tandem. To tap into this, you needed a specific setup: an 11th, 12th, or 13th Generation Intel CPU alongside an Arc Alchemist GPU. The package featured key tools: Dynamic Power Share for optimizing power between the CPU and GPU, Stream Assist to offload streaming to integrated graphics, Hyper Encode for faster video encoding, and Hyper Compute to accelerate AI tasks using OpenVINO.

These were designed to give a leg up to applications like OBS, DaVinci Resolve, and Handbrake. However, the writing may have been on the wall for Deep Link. Intel's "Meteor Lake" chips, which arrived in late 2023, weren't on the compatibility list, hinting that development had already wound down. Getting these features to perform reliably wasn't always straightforward, with users, like the one on GitHub who raised the initial question, reporting difficulties even with supported hardware. A user tried running Core Ultra 200S with Battlemage in OBS, facing issues not by the software, but by Intel's drivers. The general thinking is that Intel might have viewed Deep Link as a bit of a niche feature, possibly concluding that the continued effort and investment, especially with the need for validation with each software vendor, wasn't paying off. As for what's next, Intel hasn't announced a direct successor to these specific integrated features.

Intel IPO Surpasses 200S Boost Profile in "Arrow Lake" Gaming Performance

In the last few weeks, Intel rolled out two new performance‑enhancing presets for its Core Ultra 200S "Arrow Lake" processors: Intel Performance Optimizations (IPO) and the factory‑approved 200S Boost overclocking profile. Independent benchmarks shared by a BiliBili user reveal that IPO delivers a slightly stronger uplift in gaming performance compared with 200S Boost. Testing centered on a Core Ultra 7 265K paired with DDR5‑8000 memory and a GeForce RTX 5090D. Seven modern titles were measured at 4K with DLSS enabled where supported. Three system presets were compared: a baseline with XMP‑enabled DDR5‑8000, Intel's 200S Boost, and Intel IPO. Under 200S Boost, Intel ramps the chip's Die‑to‑Die (D2D) fabric from 2.1 GHz to 3.2 GHz and the Next‑Generation Uncore (NGU) fabric from 2.6 GHz to 3.2 GHz, while maintaining factory CPU clock speeds. By contrast, IPO takes a more holistic approach: P‑core and E‑core boost clocks rise to 5.4 GHz and 4.9 GHz (from 5.2 GHz/4.9 GHz), the ring bus ticks up to 4.0 GHz (from 3.8 GHz), and memory is overdriven to DDR5‑8400 with tightened timings.

IPO's D2D and NGU fabrics run at 3.1 GHz due to power-and-thermal headroom trade-offs. Across the board, IPO edged out 200S Boost by roughly 2% in average frame rates and 1% in the 1% lows. In Forza Horizon 5, IPO delivered 274 FPS versus 269 FPS on 200S Boost, with 1% lows of 198 FPS (+1 FPS). Cyberpunk 2077 saw a 3% jump to 297 FPS average and a 6% gain in 1% lows. Total War: Warhammer III's averages climbed 6%, while 1% lows rose 9% under IPO. The most pronounced advantage appeared in Counter‑Strike 2 (tested at 1080p), where IPO boosted averages by 16% and 1% lows by 20 %. Watch Dogs: Legion also benefited, with an 8% average and 9% low‑end uplift. These results suggest that IPO's balanced tuning of CPU cores, ring bus, interconnects, and memory yields consistent, measurable gains over the simpler fabric‑focused 200S Boost profile. Intel has yet to greenlight the IPO's broader rollout beyond its initial OEM launch in China, but these early figures hint at meaningful real‑world improvements for Arrow Lake gamers.

Intel Prepares 1,000 W Package-Attached Liquid Cooling Modules

Intel is exploring a new way to cool its hottest chips by weaving tiny water channels into the processor package itself. At its Foundry Direct Connect showcase, via HardwareLuxx coverage, the company revealed working prototypes for LGA desktop CPUs, BGA servers, and AI modules. Rather than flood the bare silicon, a slim copper block sits on top of the package, its microchannels precisely etched to carry coolant directly over the hottest areas. Intel engineers cooled Core Ultra desktop chips and high-end Xeon processors in live demonstrations. The system moves standard liquid-cooling fluid through those channels at a rate fast enough to whisk away up to 1,000 watts of heat. In the lab, that level of thermal performance isn't standard for everyday PC use, but it matches the demands of AI training, scientific computing, and professional workstations.

This design stands out because of its attention to every layer between the chip and the coolant. Intel carefully controls the thickness of the silicon die, the solder or liquid-metal thermal interface material, the integrated heat spreader, and the water block itself. By reducing or removing traditional barriers, thermal resistance falls, and engineers report roughly 20% better cooling than a standard water block mounted on a delidded die. Those copper blocks measure only a few millimeters in height yet still deliver strong flow rates. During chip layout, teams space out power-hungry blocks or flag-tight clusters so the cooling channels can target critical hotspots. This co-design of package and cooler goes much deeper than any off-the-shelf solution. While the basic research dates back nearly two decades, Intel has been refining the method for years. Still, with processors growing more powerful and densely packed, package-level liquid cooling could move from laboratory demo to essential tool for data centers and enthusiast rigs.
