What worries people is how much these Pathetic Lake processors will cost.
GorgonPoint isn't an architectural change; it's still RDNA 3.5 on steroids.
The 4Xe Pathetic Lake will cost around €1,100-€1,500.
And the 12Xe Pathetic Lake around €1,600-€2,000. Let me explain:
International media confirm that the Pathetic Lake will increase in price by 20-30% due to:

👉The performance improvements (>50% in graphics and CPU vs. Lunar Lake)

👉The excuse of the 18A process and the iGPU manufactured by TSMC at 3nm

👉The shortage because Intel's foundries haven't yet surpassed the 70%
👉Panter Lake is a 9-10 month transition to Nova Lake, which is its future.

All reasonable reasons to RAISE THE PRICE; but not so much Intel, calm down Intel because this will provoke the opposite: REJECTION and the loss of thousands of FANS, who will end up disappointed.

👉Everything I've read about Nova Lake is very good, but we'll still have to wait a year and a half.

Regarding how both Panther Lake and GorgonPoint will perform, we won't know until we see them in a month; everything we're talking about is speculation, and HERE IT WILL BE THE PRICE THAT TIPS THE SCALES ONE WAY OR THE OTHER.

Anyway, we don't know anything about GorgonPoint, and AMD always has an ace up its sleeve. We'll see what surprises us.

Intel's foundries are not starting up with the 18A and very few laptops will be seen, coupled with the rise in RAM prices.
