Intel postponed its "Nova Lake" desktop CPUs from 2026 to 2027. The company now targets a release at CES in January 2027. Intel's Q4 2025 financial report previously cited a 2026 launch.
AI sector demand and a memory crisis caused the production delay. Intel is shifting manufacturing capacity to server-side components.
The roadmap adjustment impacts Intel's competition with AMD. AMD's Zen 6 CPUs reportedly face similar delays.
