Intel confirms Razor Lake-AX for 2028 with 700 TOPS for physical AI
Intel SVP Cho Min-sung said at the "Semiconductors Powering Humanoids" seminar in Seoul's Samseong-dong that Intel plans to bring its next-generation Nova Lake processor to physical AI in early 2027, followed by Razor Lake-AX in 2028 with a platform AI compute target of 700 TOPS. Reports put that at roughly 3.88x the 180 TOPS of current Panther Lake (Core Series 3) chips and about 2.5x Nvidia's Jetson AGX Orin at 275 TOPS. Based on prior leaks, Razor Lake-AX is described not as a traditional PC platform but as an integrated high-performance design akin to AMD's Ryzen Halo, keeping Nova Lake's core layout while adding 16 or 32 Xe3P cores, a large unified memory pool and possibly on-package memory, aimed at robots and other premium physical-AI devices.
If it ships on schedule, Intel would extend high-throughput AI silicon from PCs into robots and automation, competing directly with Nvidia's Jetson line and AMD's Halo platforms.
