Damn getting Intel Presscot vibes... Where intel also dragged its feet for way to long and just kept on clocking higher instead of improving efficiency per tick. As a result those things also consumed a shitload of power (still 'only' half of this thing) and ran really, really hot.

Yeah, it does feel like Intel is going down that whole “chasing more megahertz/gigahertz” thing again and feeding into the old megahertz/gigahertz myth, something which Apple and AMD back in the late 1990’s and early 2000’s rightfully attacked them for.

If it improves single thread performance I’m all for it.

History is really repeating itself. My mate was a big Intel fan until he got hit by Pentium 4 I think it was? The thing kept throttling itself due to heating issues and was unusable for the most part.

They're going hard on marketing these scorching hot wasteful chips while AMD is doing more for less power.
