About this tag
The core ultra 4000 tag on WindowsForum.com follows discussion of Intel's next-generation processor naming, specifically early leaks suggesting the Nova Lake generation could use four-digit Core Ultra 4000 model numbers. Coverage centers on how Intel might apply these badges across desktop chips and laptop tiers, including an earlier rumor of a split between four-digit Core Ultra 4000 parts for desktops and high-end gaming notebooks and three-digit Core Ultra 400 numbers for mainstream laptops. A later correction suggests Intel may simplify that scheme. The focus is processor branding and what it means for people buying or specifying Windows PCs.

Just a couple of weeks ago, early leaks...
