Intel Nova Lake-S CPUs Expected To Limit Clocks To 5.1 GHz When Temperature Hits 90°C

Boxes of Intel Core Ultra series 4 processors with the names '9', '7', and '5', featuring the 'Nova Lake' branding, shown with a prominent close-up of an Intel CPU.

The upcoming Intel processors reportedly won’t allow the CPUs to exceed 5.1 GHz if their temperatures cross 90°C, making cooling more important for the high-end models. Leaker Claims Nova Lake-S Processors May Introduce Another Temperature-Based Frequency Limit Before Reaching 100°C Thermal Ceiling An interesting claim by @Jaykihn suggests that the upcoming Intel Nova Lake-S, aka Core Ultra 4000 series processors, could introduce an unusual temperature-based clock restriction. The leaker says the entire Nova Lake-S lineup may be limited to a maximum core frequency of 5.1 GHz once the temperature exceeds 90°C. This is separate from the processor’s conventional thermal throttling […]
