Calling it "Intel's Ryzen moment", hardware leaker Paul from RedGamingTech has disclosed preliminary information regarding the Royal Core project. The leaker thinks that with Royal Core" Intel is getting rid of its P and E cores for individual CPU tiles that can transform based on the workload.https://www.notebookcheck.net/Revolutionary-Intel-Royal-Core-project-could-see-P-and-E-cores-disappear-in-favor-of-CPU-tiles-for-added-efficiency-and-performance.695343.0.html
I know some people would be happy to get moar P-cores. There are people buying Alder or Raptor Lake right now, only to disable the E-cores. Instead, they could configure Royal Cores to act as P-cores forever. If this leak is true (never trust a Brit).

I, for one, dont mind the E-cores idea at all. The thing is, well, those e-cores are still skylake based chips, so they arent that good.
If maybe they were TigerLake or even IceLake based, we would had something better at hand, but for now, that's it.
First it's Pentium 4, and then it's Xeon phi. Now it's bulldozer.
Jim Keller hasn't worked for Intel since June of 2020.
The problem of current e-cores are their weak results confort wise.
I can't still have a totally silent laptop listening to music or seeing a movie.

Yeah, I don't mind it in theory. After all, it's the same approach used by hundreds of millions of ARM chips, and it increases multi-threaded performance per die area.
Maybe this Royal Core approach could be considered like a superior form of hyperthreading that gives 100-300% more multi-threaded performance instead of ~30%.
We should see an improvement in E-cores soon, with the Crestmont cores in Meteor Lake.
All the consumer needs is a performance increase of 1W. Steady and fast growth. All the rest does not matter.
Neither Intel, nor AMD, nor even Apple can provide such growth within the framework of the requirements of modern computing tasks facing humanity.
This is a technological dead end.
There will be no breakthrough in the next 50 years.

So after you die then?
Ok well, the sooner that happens, the sooner we get that breakthrough.
