Intel Nova Lake laptop CPUs reportedly top out at 28 cores

Leaker Jaykihn says Intel's Nova Lake-H and HX mobile chips won't get the dual-tile layout planned for desktop Nova Lake-S, so there will be no 52-core laptop part. The flagship Core Ultra 9 4995HX is tipped for 8 P-cores, 16 E-cores and 4 LPE-cores, while the Core Ultra 9 4970H drops to 16 cores.

• Core Ultra 9 4995HX: 8 P-cores, 16 E-cores and 4 LPE-cores, 28 total
• Core Ultra 9 4970H: 4 P-cores, 8 E-cores, 4 LPE-cores and a 12-core iGPU
• The 4995HX reportedly gets only a tiny 2-core integrated GPU
• Coyote Cove and Arctic Wolf cores; laptops expected around CES 2027
