Intel Nova Lake Passes USB4 and PCIe 5.0 Compliance Tests
Intel's Nova Lake platforms appear in USB-IF and PCI-SIG Integrators Lists, confirming USB4 80 Gbps and PCIe 5.0 compliance.
Intel's Nova Lake platforms have been listed in the USB-IF Integrators List, confirming compliance with USB standards, and the PCI-SIG Integrators List now includes Intel's 900-series chipsets for Nova Lake-S processors. The listings indicate that the platforms have passed the relevant compliance and interoperability tests.
According to the USB-IF listing, Intel's mobile Nova Lake-H processor (Device ID D331, D333) is compliant with USB4 80 Gbps. The desktop Nova Lake PCH-S chipset (Device ID 6E6E) is compliant with USB 3.2 Gen2, supporting up to 20 Gbps.
The PCI-SIG listing includes an unidentified Intel processor (Device IDs D461, D465, D467–D46A) with a PCIe 5.0 x16 root complex. Tom's Hardware reported the listings.
Background
Since April, the PCI-SIG Integrators List has included Intel's 900-series chipset for Core Ultra 400-series 'Nova Lake-S' processors. In early August, an unidentified Intel processor with a PCIe 5.0 x16 root complex passed interoperability tests and was listed alongside the chipset.
The latest leaks point to Core Ultra 400-series launches in Q1 2027.
