Intel brands its 3D V-Cache analog for Nova Lake as "BFC"

Intel is adopting "BFC" as the brand extension for Core Ultra Series 4 "Nova Lake" desktop processors with an enlarged last-level cache (bLLC). The chips keep the Core Ultra naming but move to 4-digit model numbers; K and KF denote an unlocked multiplier, while BFC signals the bigger cache.

• BFC is the marketing name for the bLLC enlarged last-level cache tech
• Model numbering shifts to 4 digits, echoing 4th Gen Core Haswell
• K/KF suffix means unlocked multiplier, BFC means big cache
• The tech is Intel's answer to AMD's 3D V-Cache on desktop
