Watching the Intel conference now, and it seems like they really can't come without cheating.

They speak so much about vPro, not mentioning that you need an Enterprise OS version (Win 10 Pro doesn't have the necessary software) to really utilize it and needs to be configurated by hand to actually make real use of it.

The comparison between the new pentium and the Mediatek 8183 is very cringeworthy and pretty much damning the Pentium by faint praise. Not only is the Mediatek chip from 2019, it was outdated back then already, sporting 4 A73 @ 2GHz plus 4 A53 @2GHz when there were already much more modern and performant ARM hardware available. And unlike Samsung, Qualcomm or Apple, Mediatek's ARM chips are pretty much run-off-the-mill. Also, it took Intel "just" 4 years to get a new Atom chip out and go from Goldmont to Tremont...

Intel faster than AMD in AI on Laptops, a workload which is normally made on a Desktop or server as there it's done in seconds, not to mention AI is generally looped, so even just a couple seconds slower can pile up quickly. So okay, who cares? Nobody? Moving on then.

Also, their constant mention of "Real Life Performance (TM)"

Finally, only 14% IPC improvement from Skylake to Rocket Lake? I sure was expecting a bit more, that won't be enough to keep AMD at bay on the long run.
