LGA 1954 follows LGA 1851: Intel changes CPU base again with Nova Lake
How long will Intel’s current LGA 1851 socket last for Core Ultra 200S, also known as Arrow Lake-S? Rumors have long suggested: probably not that long. FRACHT documents now suggest that the successor to Nova Lake-S (as Core Ultra 400S?) will once again be based on a new base: LGA 1954.

X-user Olrak29 found the corresponding entries. You describe developer tools for testing the new platform and calling “NVL-S” (Nova Lake-S) in the LGA socket. The same kit for testing the power supply also exists for LGA 1851.

Ultimately, LGA 1851 could only really have one true CPU architecture, although with Arrow Lake, a refresh, a second generation of CPUs could appear as an Ultra 300 core for the platform.
More was planned for LGA 1851.
A single architecture base? This sounds like another negative record, but ultimately, it’s due to the Meteor Lake-S for desktop PCs. Originally, this first true chiplet architecture from Intel in the consumer segment was also planned for desktop PCs in the LGA 1851 base, but for performance reasons, the exception being the integrated segment, it came to market as the Core Ultra Series 1 in notebooks.
