In a presentation document titled "Public Real-Time Gold Deck," Intel has showcased various current and upcoming processor platforms that provide support for Time Coordinated Computing (TCC). Earlier today, InstLatX64 highlighted interesting technologies that are currently in development, as mentioned on page 34. The PDF was made available for public viewing in the middle of May, while Team Blue's "TCC Experience" was last updated in September 2024 (as per a footnote). This content focuses on edge applications, with capable processors being promoted for handling a mix of real-time workloads and best effort workloads on the same system, through various silicon and software optimizations. Notably, the TCC support slide confirms the existence of the upcoming "Nova Lake-S" desktop and "Nova Lake-U" mobile processors.
Until recently, Intel's next-generation CPU family "Nova Lake" was mostly known through leaks, with rumors of a potential "matching LGA 1954" socket standard surfacing only recently. Intel's leadership is looking towards a tentative 2026 launch timeframe. Speculations about a 12-core gaming processor named "Bartlett Lake-S" emerged online in April, associated with the LGA 1700 socket, amidst ongoing discussions about a series of "pure P-core" variants. The latest roadmap for the "TCC Experience" indicates that "Bartlett Lake-S" processors are expected to arrive before "Panther Lake," as part of the "Intel Core Series 2" lineup. A category labeled "Bartlett Lake-S 12P" is positioned just above "Wildcat Lake" on the TCC slide's timeline, with the latter appearing to be a lower-end mobile CPU range likely focused on power efficiency.
