I'll never understand why manufacturers aren't opting for the new AMD Halo processors, currently the best laptop processors with the lowest power consumption compared to these Pathetic Lake processors. It seems Intel is still bribing manufacturers to prevent them from using AMD processors.
Here's a table with the new AMD Halo processors, which I consider the best, and I hope more manufacturers will adopt them.

Intel is still bribing manufacturers to prevent them from using AMD processors.

uh, so how comes x1 elite laptops, despite sucking, are readily available from all OEMs?

Or are you insinuating that they didn't bother bribing against Qcomm because they knew WinOnArm would fail?

Halo is too expensive. The SoC alone costs as much as some laptops.
