New rumors suggest that Intel's upcoming “Razor Lake-AX” processors will utilise on-package memory and high-core-count integrated graphics. If confirmed, this would mark a strategic shift for Intel, which previously stated that the on-package memory design seen in Lunar Lake (Core Ultra 200V) was a “one-off” due to cost and margin complexities.

According to Jaykihn (via VideoCardz), Razor Lake-AX is being designed as a high-performance APU featuring two primary GPU configurations: 16 or 32 Xe3 cores. While these core counts are substantial, they fall short of the 48-core Xe setup previously rumoured for the now-uncertain Nova Lake-AX project.

As for the on-package memory design, the report is from Haze (via VideoCardz). The decision to return to on-package memory could be due to the bandwidth requirements of a 32-core iGPU. Integrating LPDDR5X or a similar high-speed memory directly onto the package would help minimise latency and maximise throughput, thereby improving overall performance.

Razor Lake-AX is expected to use the BGA4326 socket, indicating it is not a standard desktop product but rather a specialised solution (e.g., high-end laptops, small-form-factor workstations, or handhelds).

As it stands, Intel's Razor Lake-AX is positioned as Intel's response to “Halo-class” products, such as AMD's Strix/Medusa Halo APUs and Apple's M-Series Pro/Max silicon. A release is not expected until late 2027 at the earliest, placing it in direct competition with AMD's next-generation architectures and Apple's future M-series iterations.

KitGuru says: Do you think Intel Razor Lake can stand toe-to-toe with what AMD and Apple are preparing as their next-generation Halo and M-series Pro silicon?

Intel's next-generation Razor Lake-AX chips will compete directly against AMD's Medusa Halo while featuring on-package memory. Intel Is Bringing Back On-Package Memory With Its Next-Gen Razor Lake-AX Chips That Fight Against AMD's Medusa Halo On-Package Memory was last used by Intel for its Lunar Lake SoCs. These SoCs were aimed at low-power mobile platforms, and while the chips themselves offered solid performance in a 30W budget, Intel's next on-package memory solution will be a big one. As per Haze2K1 on X, Intel Razor Lake-AX SoCs will feature on-package memory. This is a big deal as moving the DRAM closer to […]

Summer Game Fest has pretty much become the de facto video game event of the season, with Geoff Keighley’s annual showcase growing every single year – amassing over 50 million viewers during 2025’s presentation. With 2026’s edition almost exactly one month away, Keighley and co. have now confirmed an official premiere date and time for “what’s next in video games.”

Releasing a teaser trailer comprised primarily of games which have released over the course of 2026 so far (while also teasing a number of upcoming titles), Geoff Keighley officially confirmed that this year’s edition of Summer Game Fest will go live on the 5th of June at 9PM GMT.

As mentioned, the trailer mainly focused on games which have already been released. That said, the video did include snippets from a number of upcoming titles, including Lara Croft’s Tomb Raider; 007 First Light; LEGO Batman: Legacy of The Dark Knight; Star Wars: Galactic Racer and more.

Like always, expect Keighley to continue teasing their Summer Game Fest announcements over the coming weeks as we step closer towards the event’s official premiere date. It will be interesting to learn exactly how long this year’s edition will wind up being.
