Next-Gen Intel Nova Lake CPUs to feature Xe3P graphics – Linux Update Confirms
A user called Lasse Kärkkäinen has discovered that Intel’s next-generation Nova Lake CPUs will feature new Xe3P graphics chips. This was confirmed through new Linux kernel updates.
Intel’s Nova Lake CPUs are due to be released in late 2026, succeeding Panther Lake. This means that Intel’s Xe3P graphics architecture will launch next year, just one year after Xe3.
Sadly, it remains unknown what will change between Xe3 and Xe3P. The “P” reportedly signifies “Plus” or “Performance”, suggesting that Xe3P will be more performant than Xe3. Currently, it is unknown what architectural advantages Xe3P might bring, if any.
