I will wait for an actual review before I spout off too much.
The number of admissions by Intel is telling.
Their nodes were fluff, TSMC is still more advanced and all the BS talk was just that, BS.
Power draw...... simply amazing what a better node will get you. No doubt Intel made some awesome discovering in power domain management and it's going to help a lot with this series.
Chiplet based design. The reality is they copied AMD, they used a tile like AMD did to mount GPUs with a silicon interposer, they can call it whatever but like the Barenaked Ladies sang, it's all been done before....
The most exciting parts are the removal of HT and the Ecores on the ring bus. I hope they put their big boy pants in and approached it with a "how can this F us" security mindset, I say this with the best of intentions as I think they have a winner with this design if it doesn't need 5 patches to slow it down and validate security on code.... They may have just placed themselves a generation ahead of AMD on architecture and planning. AMDs only move to counter is a little.BIG core where a LOT of resources can be turned off on a big core until needed or a set of stripped down cores with commonly used hardware. The proof is in the pudding that HT/SMT is is dying a rapid death and the silicon space it used is better suited to cache and or branch prediction.
The best part is the pricing, it tells almost the complete story.
. 6000-6400 will get cheaper as that will the highest volume.
