We’ve not even got the Intel Arrow Lake out of the gate yet and it may have already been revealed what Intel is planning to codename their 2026 lineup of CPUs. To our knowledge, this is the first time that we have seen confirmation of this codename. It just goes to show how far ahead these manufacturers have to think. Each time we get a new CPU release, it’s the product of maybe 3 – 5 years of work. Intel Razer Lake-S codename leaked by a reliable source. leaker on X @9550pro (known as HXL) has revealed that Intel may be calling its 2026 CPUs Razer Lake-S. It has also been suggested, that LGA 1851, which is set to debut alongside the Arrow Lake-S CPUs said to be launching next month, will only last 2 years. This is in contrast to AMD who say that they want to keep the current generation of motherboards (AM5) in support until 2027. Razer Lake-S is set to be the successor to Nova Lake-S. While this name has appeared before, according to VideoCardz, this is the first time a credible source has commented on it. And if their track record is to be believed, HXL is absolutely a reliable source of information. Intel hasn’t made any formal announcements on Desktop CPUs, the tech giant seems to be more focused on mobile CPUs at present, we are still waiting for concrete confirmations of Arrow Lake-S, which may be just shy of a month away. Upgrading your motherboard every 2 generations is something that Intel has done over the last decade or so, with a lot of users complaining about the frequency at which you need to update your to newer motherboards. it seems that this leak is suggesting that Intel isn’t looking to stop this trend anytime soon.
