Intel Tests 24- and 28-Core Nova Lake-S CPUs With AVX-512 in Linux Logs

Summary
Intel’s public graphics CI logs show two Nova Lake-S desktop test systems running Linux: a 24-core chip at 3.4 GHz and a 28-core chip at 3.2 GHz.
Both entries identify as “Nova Lake Client Platform / NVL-S” with CPUID 300F15 and a July 16 BIOS, while XSAVE state exposure points to AVX-512 and APX support.
Those core counts line up with earlier leaked layouts: 24 cores with 8 P-cores, 12 E-cores and 4 LP E-cores, and 28 cores with 8 P-cores, 16 E-cores and 4 LP E-cores.
The logs add fresh evidence that AVX-512 is returning to Intel client CPUs, after an earlier Linux kernel patch listed Nova Lake and newer client processors as supporting the instruction set.
The 28-core sample also fits expectations for Intel’s launch order, with that desktop package previously tipped for January-March 2027 ahead of 28-core K-series models in March-April.
