Intel's Next-Gen Core Processors Surface: Razor Lake Desktop and Laptop Model IDs Confirmed

AI summary

TechPowerUp reported that Intel's November 2026 update to its Architecture Instruction Set Extensions Programming Reference (version 063) adds model identifiers for Razor Lake consumer processors and Coral Rapids Xeon server processors. The document shows Razor Lake and Nova Lake belong to processor family 18 (12H), with 12_06H and 12_0AH for desktop and 12_07H and 12_09H for laptops; these are low-level identifiers for software to recognize processors, not the retail product names consumers see. Razor Lake adds a speculative-execution-related control capability that may allow separate management of certain user-mode and kernel-mode behavior, and together with Coral Rapids it adds APIC timer virtualization for virtual machines; a recent Intel GCC compiler patch cited in the report indicates Razor Lake's instruction-set features match Nova Lake, suggesting continued AVX10.2 and APX support, though the reference document does not yet list Razor Lake in the corresponding entries.

Intel's Next-Gen Core Makes an Appearance: Razor Lake Desktop and Notebook Model IDs Confirmed

IT Home, November 14 news: Tech media outlet TechPowerUp published a blog post yesterday (November 13) reporting that Intel's update this month (November 2026) to the "Architecture Instruction Set Extensions Programming Reference" (version 063) added model IDs for Razor Lake consumer processors and Coral Rapids Xeon server processors.

The version 063 document shows that Razor Lake and Nova Lake both belong to the processor family numbered 18 (12H in hexadecimal). Among them, 12_06H and 12_0AH correspond to desktops, while 12_07H and 12_09H correspond to notebooks. These are low-level identifiers used by software to recognize processors, not the retail product model names consumers see when purchasing.

In terms of new features, Razor Lake adds a control capability related to speculative execution, which may allow certain behaviors in user mode and kernel mode to be managed separately; together with Coral Rapids, it also adds APIC timer virtualization functionality for virtual machines. IT Home attaches the relevant screenshots below:

The report, citing GCC compiler patches recently submitted by Intel, states that Razor Lake's instruction set features are consistent with Nova Lake, meaning it is expected to continue support for AVX10.2 and APX, but this reference document has not yet listed Razor Lake in the corresponding entries.
