Leak: Nova Lake Xeon E drops hybrid design, up to 16 P-Cores or 32 E-Cores

Intel leaker Jaykihn says upcoming Nova Lake Xeon E chips for edge computing won't use a hybrid P-Core/E-Core layout, offering either all P-Cores (4–16) or all E-Cores (up to 32). Customers wanting hybrid designs would need desktop Nova Lake-S, and the Xeon E chipset is said to be called W980.

• Nova Lake Xeon E: all P-Cores (4, 6, 8, 12, 16) or all E-Cores (4, 8, 16, 32)
• No hybrid versions and no low-power E-Cores on Xeon E
• Xeon E chipset reportedly named W980
• Hybrid configurations remain exclusive to desktop Nova Lake-S
