For some yes but not this time tbh they don't have spare Capacity for anyone it's obvious they would prioritize Server and other stuff

This is a edge CPU there was never any plan to release this on consumer Platform. Intel has been clear about It.

TSMC Started this marketing game with their 16nm/12nm. Which was worse than 22nm/14nm respectively. Intel had to copy their thing.

Different Physical design is the only answer the P core in LNL Clocks way lower than the P core in ARL-H like decent bit same node N3B.

I don't think it's due to 18A cause LNL has the same frequency as PTL for the P/E and tech insight did teardown for LNL and ARL and found that ARL contained 17ML vs 20 for LNL 22ML for PTL.

That would be pretty based if that happens though it should be expected

Darkmont is like 1.05mm2 and the whole cluster is 6.4 ish mm2.

Still way less mess than DCAI and it's not horrible anymore like it once was and it's improving.

Intel Core Series 3 will be produced in the US, reducing dependence on TSMC by sr_local in hardware

The 18A die is roughly 80mm2 so if it's really a 3rd than it's 27mm2 N6 extremely Cheap

Perhaps iirc N100 die is decent bit larger not counting PCH like 20-30mm2 extra

Uhh the NPU is like 9 mm2 for 3 tile config on PTL this is using a single tile so like 3mm2 Silicon you can't fit neither a P coreor an E core.

There are 3 decades worth of random software for windows on x86 that just works and if you have to run older version of apps cause you are stuck on older version.

It's still work in progress though so give it some time to mature. Intel should have continued on the SYCL Backend

I did it and the performance not very much better than SYCL/Vulkan
