    Loved this comment on the Ars article:

    Hopefully this prevents confusion between the electric and internal combustion Intel CPUs.

    Really? What kind of lake are they now? Oh, meteor lake.

    Remind me when they are at “toxic waste lake” or “out of lakes, sorry”

    If I had to guess, the “Ultra” chips will be desktop-class chips and just “Intel Core” will be mobile-class chips

    This is just as confusing as trying to figure out what graphics card to get for a computer. With all the brands using different naming and number conventions, it’s hard to understand.

      Yeah, when the Wikipedia page for the Radeon RX 7000 includes this warning:

      Not to be confused with the Radeon HD 7000 series, an earlier series of GPUs developed by AMD.

      You know things have gotten a bit out of hand with respect to AMD’s GPU naming conventions.

    Have not used an intel CPU since 4th gen. That was the last gaming PC I built and then my work got me started using macs. I don’t know if I could go back from the efficiency of the apple M line chips in a laptop form factor. I think it’ll be interesting to see if the rebrand does anything meaningful in the fight between their Core series and AMDs ryzen🤷🏻‍♂️

      I have 2 systems and both are AMD machines with impressive performance per watt (obviously not as good as Apple’s M series). Intel has a long way to go before they can be a genuine alternative.

      I’m not an apple fan at all, but switched to a pro book for the M2s. The difference in power consumption and battery life is just on a whole other level from everything else out there.

        The main issue is actually Windows and it’s awful standby behavior. It’s a known issue but nobody knows if it’ll ever get fixed.
