Intel's upcoming Nova Lake and Panther Lake were spotted in DFI's roadmaps, unveiling the manufacturer's plan for the inclusion of next-gen chips in its motherboards.
Intel's Upcoming Chips, Including Nova Lake, Panther Lake, Bartlett Lake, Twin Lake, And Wildcat Lake Spotted in DFI's Roadmaps
DFI has released its latest roadmaps for its System-on-Modules (SoM) and Single Board Computers (SBCs), which shed light on how Intel's upcoming CPU families will define embedded computing in the next few years. The roadmaps showcase four different Intel CPU families, including the Panther Lake, Nova Lake, Bartlett, and Wildcat Lake.
As far as Panther Lake is concerned, you might already be aware that it will be released for the consumer mobile segment this year, but it will also be used in both SoM and SBC product lineups from DFI. The SoM roadmap for the HPC and COMe shows that the Panther Lake, the 28W variant PTH9HA, will be used for high-performance computing modules and has been planned for a late 2025 release.
The PTH9HM (Panther Lake U), a 15W variant, will be used in ultra-low power versions and is currently planned for 2026 release. Then we have the PTH960/968 for the basic/compact modules that will operate in a 45W TDP range and will likely be released in early 2026.
Intel's Nova Lake, which is the next lineup for desktop/mobile, was spotted in the DFI SBC roadmap for the 4"/3.5" x86 motherboards, and will have both Nova Lake H and U lineups for high-performance and ultra-low-power SBCs. It's expected that both Nova Lake lineups will be deployed roughly in the second half of 2026, while Panther Lake U will also be deployed in early 2026.
The Bartlett Lake is also expected to make a debut in HPC, as seen in the SoM roadmap. Bartlett Lake S series is already in the BIOS update phase, which means the development is already over, and it's expected to be released at the end of this year. Bartlett Lake S 12P series will come next year and is already in the BIOS update phase, similar to the Bartlett Lake S series.
The Twin Lake will be part of the more compact and efficient SBC solutions, like 2.5"/1.8" x86, which seems to have been planned for early 2025. Twin Lake will offer up to 8 cores and will also be used in the ASL/TWL051 SBC, where DFI will utilize both Amston Lake and Twin Lake chips. However, the 2.5" SBC with Twin Lake is in the Developing phase. Intel is also planning the Wildcat Lake U, which is supposedly the successor to Twin Lake and will offer 15W chips for the 2.5" SBC for early 2026.
