The claim
Intel's next budget chip, Moon Lake, has four low-power efficiency cores and no performance cores, runs at 6-15W and replaces the N-series chips in cheap laptops and mini PCs in 2028.
Why we rated it Rumor
From leaker Jaykihn, who has a decent record on Intel roadmaps, relayed by Tom's Hardware. It is a single source with no clock speeds, process or exact date, and Intel has said nothing about Moon Lake.
