Single threaded performance was the only reason to go Intel.

I wish all the computer parts companies would only release new products when they are definitively better rather than making them on a schedule no matter what. I don't want to buy this year's 1080p gaming CPU and GPU combo for more than I spent for the last one with the same capabilities, I want the next series of the same part to be capable of more damn it.

How's the performance per watt?

Oh wait. Nevermind, Intel sucks anyway. If it's not performance issues, it's hardware exploits. Not to mention Intel's support for genocide in Gaza.

The article mentions the results are probably because of Intel's focus on AI, but it's more likely that this was because of Intel's focus on making their chips use less power. Laptops with the new generation have a significantly better battery life.

On a technical level, it's hard to say why Meteor Lake has regressed in this test, but the CPU's performance characteristics elsewhere imply that Intel simply might not have cared as much about IPC. Meteor Lake is primarily designed to excel in AI applications and comes with the company's most powerful integrated graphics yet. It also features Foveros technology and multiple tiles manufactured on different processes. So while Intel doesn't beat AMD or Apple with Meteor Lake in IPC measurements, there's a lot more going on under the hood.

I wonder if these have increased ram latency due to the chiplet design. These are the first mobile chiplet I've seen, aside from desktop-replacements using am4/am5 ryzens.

Hopefully Anandtech will have more detailed look whenever they ever get their hands on a sample.

Intel is making the transition to ARM -and eventually RISC-V- inevitable.

At how many watts?

Say it with me: For the shareholders!
