Intel's Razor Lake laptop chips to use TSMC's N2X process, skip X3D rival
Leaker claims Intel's next mobile processors will outsource to TSMC and debut a cache technology previously expected for desktop-only chips.
What to know
- Intel's Razor Lake mobile chips will reportedly use TSMC's N2X manufacturing process, signaling continued outsourcing of advanced nodes.
- bLLC, Intel's cache technology rival to AMD's X3D, is claimed to debut on Razor Lake laptop SKUs instead of remaining desktop-exclusive on Nova Lake.
- The shift represents a change in product strategy: cache-boosting features originally expected for high-end desktop are expanding into the mobile market.
“Nova Lake desktop CPUs look to be the exclusive recipient of bLLC, Intel's answer to AMD's X3D, as the company looks to debut bLLC on mobile with Razor Lake-HX, and possibly Razor Lake-AX.”
