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.

Interesting, definitely keeping an eye for this 12c pure p-cores… I wonder what frequency it will run at..

That slide may be too old (Sep 2024) to really know Intel's plans. Arrow Lake is not even on it just a few months before launch meaning they are changing plans with very short notice.



All Intel roadmaps sit in two perpetual states of 100% true and 100% untrue. It's Schrodinger's Law.

Probably pretty low.
The only really interesting thing about it would be if it enables AVX-512.

That's because this isn't a client roadmap, this is a network/"edge" (small server) roadmap. Bartlett Lake-S was released last year (read the product brief and you'll see it's not a consumer product).

It is possible that Intel would make an upcoming 12-core model available in retail, but I've yet to see any evidence to support that. If the firmware is different, motherboard support will be very limited.
