With the reality of high performance Arm processors from Apple and Qualcomm threatening Intel's market share in the client computing space, Intel is working on learner more PCB-efficient client SoCs that can take the fight to them, while holding onto the foundations of x86. The first such form-facto...
While it looks weird to see this happen today, this is the approach Intel should’ve been taken years ago until their fabs were back to being competitive, even Rocket Lake got screwed due to 10nm issues and that was just 2 years ago.
This also explains the rumor/leak that Intel had an N3B contract it was for Lunar Lake.
Seems like MTL’s low power island with 2 low power E-cores changes with LNL and now all (4) E-cores are on the SoC tile.
Also some side notes, base of 16GB of RAM, take note Apple. Features Intel Intelligent display, the feature shown off months ago that turns your screen off when you arent using your laptop. Same memory speed at the Snapdragon X. Wifi 7. Display pipes reduced from 4 to 3.
