Intel Panther Lake Core Ultra X9 388H performance analysis - Outpaces Arrow Lake and exceeds Zen 5 in efficiency

[ye]

(we're talking CPU here as the iGPU is produced by TSMC) versus the Ryzen that still uses an old 4nm process.

According to en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panther_Lake_(microprocessor), Panther Lake is using TSMC N3E and it may not the best available node, this may go to N3P (Apple is supposedly using it for its M5 series chips). (currently best available is prob TSMC 2N, but of course, everyone would be surprised if it was used for Panther Lake)

and perhaps update or remove the outdated comparative charts that are still present, for example in this one.

(the rest of the text seems mostly about the price, which is fair enough (you say 2500 is too much? I say 1300 is still too much)) Which ones?

Prices aren't relevent when nothing is going to be available for another 5 months.

strix halo is in approximately 0 consumer laptops. (Z13 is a tablet, zbook ultra g1a is business)

I dislike Asus so the tuf A14 does not an option for me at all. The first real halo laptop for me will be in the upcoming Lenovo legion, but afaik, that's not launching for at least another 8 months.

So both are pretty much paper launches as far as I'm concerned.

What people see in retail shops in the streets is LNL, ARL-H/HX and KRK.

Also, it's difficult to compare nodes when the numbers are all marketing and they're all so highly specialised. 18A seems better than 4nm but by how much we don't really. Could be more like a 3.5nm or 3nm or 2.5nm..which is why I try to avoid the nm discussion entirely.
