The Linux kernel already has identifiers for Panther Lake, Razer Lake, and Nova Lake processors

Recently, there was a leak of information regarding the support of some processors on the Linux kernel. As it became known, 7 PCI IDs were added. We know about the support of Nova Lake, Panther Lake, Raze Lake, and Wildcat Lake processors. The images of the identifiers are evidence of the advanced preparation for the support of new processors.

A fragment of the Linux kernel code that has become available records the presence of new identification devices.

A list of some processors detected in the code:

• Lunar Lake (LNL)
• Nova Lake (NVL)
• Razer Lake (RZL)
• Panther Lake (PTL)
• Wildcat Lake (WCL)

In addition to specific processors, the code also indicates certain specifications and market segments of these processors. For the Panther Lake processor, we are talking about P and H with TDP. It is also known about the support of version U. There is a high probability that PTL-H will have up to 16 cores and a processor based on 12 Xe3. As for Nova Lake, it is expected to be released on desktops by 27. Twin Lake/Alder Lake processors will be replaced by Wildcat Lake.

Of course, this is not a complete list of specifications and they have not yet been approved. The official announcement of these processors is likely to take place at Computex 2025.
