Core CPU's Xe3P iGPU Alone Draws 40W of 154W PL2

A newly leaked power-limit table for Intel’s upcoming Nova Lake-S desktop lineup has revealed just how much energy the chipmaker is willing to throw at integrated graphics. According to hardware leaker Jaykihn, one 16-core Core Ultra 400-series SKU carries a chip-wide PL2 boost limit of 154 W, of which as much as 40 W is earmarked purely for its 12-core Xe3P iGPU. The figures, first surfaced on X and independently reported by Notebookcheck, TechPowerUp and Tom’s Hardware, point to Intel building its most graphics-heavy socketed desktop chip in years.
