A complete table showing the PL1, PL2, PL3, and PL4 power limits of Intel Nova Lake has leaked online. The figures leaked show a PL2 of close to 500 W for the dual-compute-tile high-end/flagship Nova Lake CPUs.

This is like the 3rd news post about Nova Lake's power consumption. The power consumption is not the issue if it's for workstations etc, where this kind of power consumption is expected, the question is how energy efficient is Nova Lake going to be.

And all of that was based on a random "leak" from a random X/Twitter account (that has a large ATI profile banner) 😁
