Intel Razor Lake-S Reportedly Due in 2028 on LGA-1954

What happened

According to Intel leaker Jaykihn on X, Intel's Razor Lake desktop processors, the generation following Nova Lake-S, are currently slated for 2028; asked whether Razor Lake-S was planned for 2027, he replied "not currently," then said Razor Lake is a 2028 product for now. A leaked partner slide placed the first Nova Lake-S SKUs in Q1 2027 and indicated Intel plans to keep LGA-1954 for multiple generations, so Razor Lake-S should drop into the same boards roughly a year later. Razor Lake will reportedly use new Griffin Cove P-cores, called "an entire tock" rather than a refinement; the same core will reportedly also power Intel's next-generation Coral Rapids Xeon processors, though SMT stays exclusive to Xeon. Earlier leaks pointed to TSMC's N2X node for some Razor Lake production, and the 12 Xe3P core iGPU SKU originally meant for Nova Lake-S was reportedly pushed to Razor Lake. Intel has not confirmed any of this, so 2028 should be treated as a target and timelines can move.
