Intel Nova Lake-S photo leak shows what the company’s new gaming CPUs will look like

Intel Nova Lake-S is the company’s big upcoming gaming CPU launch, with the new chip design expected to offer significant performance improvements over its current Core Ultra 200 lineup and arrive either late this year or early next year.

Not that we can glean performance from an image of the chip’s pins, but it does reveal a few aspects of the new design.
