Ship something then we can talk Intel. They have made so many outrageous claims over the years for things not even close to release that I’m not sure why people still listen.
Intel's big promises are starting to get stale. Alder Lake is the only time in recent memory they've been able to make good on their claims. Meteor Lake was disappointing and expensive.
It's funny to just see "FASTER" as the claimed CPU performance instead of any numbers like they claim for the NPU and GPU. The use of Teams as a power benchmark is also amusing, like they're subtly implying how horribly inefficient it is.
I don't care about all the AI stuff. I just want a better x86 CPU.
I love love love the on package memory. It massively shrinks the difficulty of creating a motherboard, which is awesome. This was also on Intel's Lakefield, the first heterogenous x86 core (1+4), which was a bit power hungry with it's Skylake and a bit slow with it's older Atom derived small.cores, but was still a good bit better than Snapdragons in its ultralight market.
Shout out to notebookcheck.net. I don't know anyone who covers product announcements/news half as copiously (tons of interesting gems you don't see covered most places) and their laptop reviews are quite solid.
“The new chips, which are for the first time made completely by TSMC for Intel, are supposed to be much more efficient than anything Intel has released prior.”
Will Intel be able to compete with TSMC with its new fabs and processes?
