Lol, sounds just like intel announcement of 1000MHz pentium in 2000 with 5 year roadmap ending at 10GHz CPUs by 2005....this aged like milk....
I mean, who is asking for that kind of core density on desktops? It doesn't make any sense. Even Zen7 is looking like it will only be 48 cores on the dual CCD version, and that's likely overkill for anyone who isn't a Threadripper customer today. Is Intel trying to pull another Pentium 4 where they pick one impressive figure from their stack and sell products with it even though real world numbers are actually really bad?
@Redaktion Please change the misleading title. This 100-core idea isn't a leak or a rumor from inside of Intel; it's just a random number the leaker made up to give an example of "the potential of ditching the P-cores".

Hi there,
The article already mentions that it is just a speculation. But I've corrected the headline and abstract to reflect the same, so that it is clearer.
guess we will wave single core performance goodbye if everything is e cores
Is 100 cores the right goal or should they stay with 32 cores and grow the NPU and GPU?
I say progress is the NPU and GPU.
~100 cores make sense for, e.g., several dGPUs.
