Intel will reportedly have four SKUs of next-gen desktop Nova Lake CPUs with bLLC (Big Last Level Cache) with differing core counts, ready to fight AMD's super-popular X3D processors.
The flagship Intel Core Ultra 9 series "Nova Lake" CPU for the desktop will feature up to 52 cores and 288MB of bLLC cache, while the Core Ultra 7 chip will feature up to 28 cores and 144MB of bLLC cache. It wasn't long ago that we were reporting on leaks that only Intel's new unlocked K-series Nova Lake desktop CPUs in the "Core Ultra 400S" family would feature bLLC cache.

The four SKUs in question will feature two dual compute tile models which will be part of the Core Ultra 9 family, and two single compute tiles that will be ready for the Core Ultra 7 family.
Intel's upcoming dual compute tile "Nova Lake-S" desktop CPUs will sport 52 cores, split up into 16+32+4 (Performance, Efficiency, and Low Power Efficiency) and 42 cores (14+24+4) configurations. These processors will sport up to 288MB of bLLC cache.
The single compute tile Nova Lake-S processors will come in up to 28 cores (8+16+4) and 24 cores (8+12+4) core configurations with up to 144MB of bLLC cache.
Intel Core Ultra 400K series "Nova Lake-S" CPUs with bLLC cache:
- Core Ultra 9 "Nova Lake-S" = 16P + 32E + 4LPE + 288MB bLLC
- Core Ultra 9 "Nova Lake-S" = 14P + 24E + 4LPE + 288MB bLLC
- Core Ultra 7 "Nova Lake-S" = 8P + 16E + 4LPE + 144MB bLLC
- Core Ultra 7 "Nova Lake-S" = 8P + 12E + 4LPE + 144MB bLLC
