Upon learning of the Green Goblin's attack in this new universe, Octavius mentions that this villain was Norman Osborn in his world, and that the scientist had died fighting Spider-Man. However, in the Raimi films, the information that Norman was the Green Goblin was made public.
In their final battle, he was accidentally impaled and killed by his own Goblin Glider. The news eventually informed of Osborn's demise fighting Spider-Man while outing him as Green Goblin, which was heard by his friend Octavius, and Flint Marko.
His intelligence is still good enough and he can join the dots to know that Norman Osborn and the Green Goblin are one and the same, thanks to the fight between the Goblin and Spider-Man in the first movie, and the subsequent death of Norman Osborn.
How did Green Goblin find out Spider-Man's identity?
It happens at 1:31 : Then later on when they (Peter and Norman), were having dinner at Aunt May's house. Peter said that a bike messenger knocked him down (to explain how he got the cut) at 2:48, but Norman (Green Goblin), recognized it from when he sliced him (Spider-Man), in the burning building with the baby in it.
That he considered calling Osborn's office when under threat and that Osborn had forgiven his past safety violations and referred to him as always the "smartest guy in the room" suggested it remained this way to an extent after the fallout, before souring due to Octavius' resentment of Osborn's dishonesty.

Why does Li hate Osborn?
Li also seeks revenge against Mayor Norman Osborn for using him as a test subject for the Devil's Breath virus in his youth, which granted him his powers, but traumatized him after he lost control of them and accidentally killed his parents.
Norman Osborn's experiments increase his strength but lead to a mental breakdown, as he becomes a cackling, evil presence often driven by a very personal vendetta with Spider-Man.
Norman calls Harry, who realizes from Norman's distorted voice that Norman is wearing the Green Goblin suit. This horrifies and disgusts Harry, who vows to stop his father. Harry angrily confronts his father, who wants Harry to follow his legacy and become a greater man.
More than what the Green Goblin has done to Spider-Man, the supervillain has his own surprising set of superpowers and is physically stronger than his arch-nemesis, making him a truly dangerous villain in Spidey's extensive cast of enemies.
Rothman contributed the latter when discussing Spider-Verse's Doc Ock. Most comic books depict the character as a man named Otto Octavious, but the film decided to make the character a female by the name of Olivia Octavious instead.
Dr. Octopus' superhuman abilities derive from the four mentally controlled, electronically powered, telescoping, prehensile titanium-steel tentacles, which are attached to a stainless-steel harness. The harness encircles his body from his lower chest to waist.
The Oscorp building from The Amazing Spider-Man was intended to appear in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) film The Avengers (2012). However, by the time the Oscorp building was fully designed for The Amazing Spider-Man, the skyline for The Avengers was rendered, so the idea was abandoned due to timing constraints.
However, the mere lack of Oscorp as a company in the MCU does not disallow the franchise to introduce its own version of Norman Osborn in future films. Norman never confirmed that he didn't exist on Earth-616, but only that he could not find Oscorp. In reality, Norman Osborn may already be alive and active in the MCU.
The character returns in Spider-Man: No Way Home (2021) when a magical spell gone wrong breaks open the multiverse and sends him to an alternate reality. The Goblin takes over Osborn's mind, torments that reality's Peter Parker and kills his aunt May.
Doc Ock's rage stemmed from a vague feeling that Norman had previously outsmarted him and he'd lost something important in the process. He briefly thought he'd redeemed himself as the Superior Spider-Man, a role he sacrificed to stop Norman at the climax of the groundbreaking Superior Spider-Man run.
Also, he manipulated his grandson and attempted to kill his son and Liz. And later, Norman decided to kill his grandson for standing up against him. Overall, he doesn't love his son as a human being or a person, but he sees him as an extension of himself and also as a way to carry out his legacy.
During Spider-Man's rescue attempt, Osborn knocks Gwen off the bridge, resulting in the girl's death. Spider-Man, traumatised and obsessed with revenge, tracks the Goblin to his hideout, and in the ensuing battle, Osborn is impaled by his own goblin glider and dies.
In the Spider-Man (2002) game, Harry Goblin is playable as the Green Goblin (Norman Goblin's original suit), making him the only Goblin to become both Goblins but the game isn't canon since Harry didn't discover his father was the Green Goblin until the end of the second movie.
Norman Osborn has several traits related to his psychosis and to his personality. He suffers from manic depression, has a pronounced narcissistic personality disorder co-morbid with severe anti-social psychopathic traits, and in some instances shows signs of multiple-personality disorder.
A scientific genius, Norman's experiments gave him superhuman abilities and advanced weapons at the cost of his sanity, leading him to create his villainous alter ego.
Harry and Peter's friendship strains severely after the death of Harry's father Norman, who was the villainous Green Goblin, which he blames on Peter's alter-ego Spider-Man on top of some resentment towards Peter for seemingly "stealing" Mary Jane's affections from him.
While the original Earth-616 incarnation isn't Pure Evil because he still possesses a genuine (albeit very twisted) love for his son Harry, there have been several other particularly vile incarnations of this psychotic supervillain over the years.
As a young boy, he was experimented on by Norman Osborn, whose experiments gave him powers but killed his parents. Attempting to keep his anger under control for years, Li would eventually lead a terrorist crusade to expose Osborn and destroy his reputation, regardless of any lives caught in the crossfire.
