Now MLID has had a funky track record. While he was good with his AMD leaks, he was very off with his Ampere leaks. So it really could be anything. But having a picture of sorts is a good start.
Personally I do hope that Intel is competitive, especially in the low-mid end which is where they seem to be targeting. If there's one thing Raja did that was good at AMD was come out with the RX480 at around $200 which is still a very killer price point. But being at Intel, they also have the nonsense price of i9 11900k. So we will see where it goes. But hopefully, Intel doesn't goof this cause the time is right for a good third competitor to come out.
