Actually Nova Lake is on track for late 2026 release ahead of Zen 6 which is early 2027. I would not buy Zen 5 at all. Hugely disappointing on Windows and the 9950X is already massively bandwidth starved. Zen 6 fixes a multitude of problems with Zen 5: latency, faster fabric, faster memory, larger ccd's, much higher clocks etc.

 I'll be waiting for either 12 core 10800X3D or 18 core (IMO) 10900X3D from AMD or Nova Lake Ultra 7 with 42 cores (14P+24E+4LPE).

AMD's impressive work is doing.
But right now we need more laptops with AMD HALO, at least the 380 and 385 versions.

You don't need a superior CPU, a 395+; just put a 380 or 385, whose iGPU is practically the same, in a good laptop priced between €1,000 and €1,500, and they sell like hotcakes.

👉 HERE ARE THE DIFFERENT VERSIONS OF AMD HALO, which everyone wants.
Model,--------Zen 5 cores,-----Max Boost,-------Cache,-----------GPU (CUs),TDP
Ryzen AI Max+ 395, 16/32,5.1 GHz, ----80 MB,Radeon 8060S (40),45-120 W
Ryzen AI Max 390, 12/24,5.0 GHz, --- 76 MB,Radeon 8050S (32),45-120 W
Ryzen AI Max 385, 8/16,5.0 GHz, ----- 40 MB,Radeon 8050S (32),45-120 W
Ryzen AI Max 380, 6/12,4.9 GHz, -----22 MB,Radeon 8040S (16),45-120 W
