Intel has some new cores in town and two new CPU families as revealed in the latest Linux Code patches which have unearthed the Adams Lake "Client" and Cooper Forest "Server" chips.
In an attempt to clear up its "Family 6" CPU naming scheme, Intel might have exposed its two next-gen CPU cores and families, reports Phoronix. It is reported that Intel's "Family 6" CPU is coming to an end. The Family 6 CPU ID has been running since the P6 architecture which was featured in the Pentium Pro lineup in the 90's and that's about to change soon as Intel has sent out patches that'll be used to modify the CPU family ID identification and model naming criteria.
In doing so, Intel has revealed what could be its next-generation CPU cores & CPU families which might be featured under the new CPU family ID. These new families include Adams Lake and Cooper Forest. Both families have also been defined with a new core architecture. Adams Lake is said to feature the new Douglas Cove P-Core architecture while Cooper Forest is said to feature the new Sheldonmont E-Core architecture.
It is currently unclear which CPU families will Adams Lake and Cooper Forest replace. What we do know is that Arrow Lake and Lunar Lake will be followed by Panther Lake and there's also word on Nova Lake being the successor to that. So it is possible either sometime after or between Nova Lake, we will see the introduction of Adams Lake for client CPUs based on the Douglas Cove uarch.
For Cooper Forest, it could be the successor to Clearwater Forest which itself is the successor to the upcoming Sierra Forest lineup. All three families are based on the E-Core architecture which is identified by the "mont" naming convention. 2024's Sierra Forest will utilize the Sierra Glen E-Core (an upgraded version of Crestmont), 2025's Clearwater Forest will utilize the Darkmont E-Core (an upgraded version of Skymont) and Cooper Forest will be the follow-up that will utilize the new Sheldonmont cores.
The Intel "Family 6" IDs will still show up for a couple of years since Clearwater Forest and Lunar Lake are already using those.
These new CPU architectures and families will likely show up under the new Family ID sometime around 2026-2027.

There is a ton of love right now for the Fallout franchise. Fans can’t get enough of the IP thanks to the recently successful release of Amazon Prime Video’s Fallout. The series adaptation of the franchise launched last week, and fans could sit through all eight episodes as we watched a vault dweller from Vault 33 Surface to the Wasteland. However, for future releases, fans mainly only had Fallout London to look forward to playing. That’s recently changed.
Fallout: London, the Fallout 4 mod set in a post-apocalyptic English capital that’s large enough to effectively be its own game, has been hit by an indefinite delay just two weeks from its planned release date. The reason? Fallout 4’s long-in-the-works next-gen update is now due to drop just two days after London’s planned launch date, which its fan devs say will “simply break” the ambitious project.
Intel's LGA 4710 socket-based reference platform, Beechnut City, has been picture & is ready to support Xeon 6 Granite Rapids & Sierra Forest CPUs.
Fallout 4's impending next-gen update will almost certainly "break" many mods, according to a Fallout London modder, causing the "game-sized" project to be delayed indefinitely.
A fan-made Genshin Impact chart shows five-star characters that have gone the longest without receiving a rerun. Genshin Impact usually brings at least two limited-time banners in every version, promoting a roster of characters and weapons. The thing about these banners is that they remain available for two weeks, which means players must spend their Intertwined Fates on them without wasting time.
If the excellent Fallout TV show is inspiring you to pick one of the games back up for a replay, Bethesda is offering a very nice incentive to get back into Fallout 4 with a free next-gen update set to land on April 25.
Conveniently timed following the release of the Fallout TV show, Bethesda has announced that its most recent mainline Fallout game, Fallout 4, will be getting a free next-gen update for PS5 and Xbox Series X.
The “Next-Gen Update” for Fallout 4 will launch for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, and PC on April 25, publisher Bethesda Softworks and developer Bethesda Game Studios announced.
Bethesda announced all the way back in 2022 that it was working on native versions of Fallout 4 for PS5 and Xbox Series X/S, but the wait for the update has dragged on longer than expected. In December, the company confirmed that the update would be coming sometime in 2024, and as many have guessed, it’s set to align with Amazon’s Fallout series releasing worldwide.
Intel is allegedly gearing up to release a new next gen wave of ‘Battlemage’ graphics cards, and they might land amid the chaos of Black Friday. The Arc successor is set to be the tech giant’s second generation of GPUs, following the slow launch of cards using ‘Alchemist’ chips throughout the last two years
Intel has actively started investigating issues currently facing its 13th & 14th Gen CPUs such as gaming stability which affects thousands of gamers.
