Intel plans to release its Razor Lake client CPUs in late 2027, according to a leak from Moore's Law Is Dead. The roadmap suggests the company will use a dual-tile design for high-end desktop and HX mobile chips. These top-tier models will feature up to 52 cores built on new Griffin Cove performance cores and Arctic Wolf efficiency cores.
Leaked roadmap details Intel's upcoming client CPU split between new architecture and rebadged silicon
The standard mobile lineup including RZL-U, RZL-H, and RZL-P variants will not use the new compute die. Intel will instead roll these out as rebadged Nova Lake silicon. Lower-tier desktop models follow the same strategy and skip the new architecture entirely.
Razor Lake maintains pin-compatibility with the LGA 1954 socket used by its predecessor. The platform mirrors Nova Lake's GPU, HUB, and PCD tiles to ensure a smooth transition for motherboard manufacturers. A separate Razor Lake-AX variant reportedly rebrands the Nova Lake-AX project with up to 32 Xe3 cores.
The leak notes that some processors in this lineup remain years away from production. The source advises treating these details with caution until Intel officially confirms the roadmap. Most of the mobile chips will likely reuse existing Nova Lake silicon rather than adopting the new Griffin Cove and Arctic Wolf cores.
