@null Rocket Lake was such a disaster. Like, wow. Down on cores, down on power, down on efficiency, up on instructions only Intel cares about.
The Rocket Lake flop was such a wasted effort that I feel sorry for the engineering team that worked on it, and got told before release to port all of their work to a larger node size because their manufacturing wasn't ready.
I don't like Alder Lake with its big.little nonsense, so they're not heading in a better direction. They'll stuff in low-performance cores to just say "look we have equal number of cores now!". And it's still going to lag behind AMD in terms of a node size.
Only reason Intel isn't sweating buckets is because "No one got fired for buying Intel." is still prevalent thought in corporations.
