Some Intel Core Ultra 400 Platforms Pass USB and PCIe Tests
Some “Nova Lake” platforms in “Intel’s” next-generation “Core Ultra 400” series have passed USB and PCIe compatibility tests. Laptop processors and desktop computer chipsets have been added to certification lists. These tests check whether products work smoothly with various hardware. A successful result also grants the right to use the official logos.
Versions of the H-series “Nova Lake” mobile processor with the codes D331 and D333 have been added to the “USB Implementers Forum” list. These chips comply with the USB4 80 Gbit/s standard and are compatible with the anticipated “Thunderbolt 5” connection. The desktop “Nova Lake” chipset with the code 6E6E has USB 3.2 Gen 2 connectivity. Data transfer speeds reach 20 Gbit/s, meaning large files can be transferred more quickly on compatible devices. The “Nova Lake” processor designed for desktop computers does not yet appear on the USB compatibility list. However, “Intel” may choose a simpler certification method called QbS for similar products. Processors and chipsets with the same or similar USB configurations can be approved under this program after fewer additional tests. Nevertheless, every product with a different name and version must be registered separately.
The 900-series chipsets designed for desktop “Nova Lake” processors have appeared on the “PCI-SIG” list since April. In early August, another processor whose name has not yet been disclosed also passed testing. Its codes are D461, D465, D467, D468, D469 and D46A. The chip has a PCIe 5.0 x16 connection. However, it has not yet been officially confirmed that it belongs to the desktop “Core Ultra 400” platform. These listings indicate that “Intel” is preparing to release new processors for desktop computers and laptops. The platforms are also expected to appear on other compatibility lists. Depending on the sales market, the company must also obtain the documents required by regulatory authorities and environmental documentation. The official launch date for the “Core Ultra 400” series has not been announced. However, the series is expected to be introduced in the first quarter of 2027.
