# Intel Unveils Nova Lake and Razor Lake Roadmap

October 17, 2026 at 12:59 PM

> Intel SVP Cho Min-sung confirms next-gen SoCs for 2027 and 2028, with Razor Lake-AX targeting 700 TOPS for high-performance AI computing.

**Intel** SVP **Cho Min-sung** confirmed the upcoming **Nova Lake** and Razor Lake SoCs during a South Korea seminar. Nova Lake is slated for a 2027 launch, followed by **Razor Lake-AX** in 2028. These next-gen chips represent Intel's roadmap for high-performance computing.

The Razor Lake-AX SoC will deliver 700 TOPS of AI compute, a 3.88x increase over Panther Lake's 180 TOPS. It also exceeds **NVIDIA**'s Jetson AGX Orin by 2.5x. The chips are expected to feature on-package memory, similar to the design used in Lunar Lake Series 2.

Targeting premium devices and the Physical AI market, Razor Lake-AX positions Intel against NVIDIA's Jetson Thor platforms. While Thor T3000 offers 865 TFLOPS at 70W, Intel's massive TOPS increase signals a major push into specialized AI and robotics hardware.
