Intel's New Chimera: Alder Lake
Personally I don&#x27;t really see a point in having a hybrid architecture like this <i>unless</i> it&#x27;ll lead to massively increased core counts, and so far it doesn&#x27;t look like it does. AMD still beats Intel in both core counts <i>and</i> power efficiency, and they&#x27;re only using P cores so... what&#x27;s the point of having E cores?<p>But maybe that&#x27;s just because it&#x27;s a first generation technology for Intel? I hope things improve in the future because I sure would love to have more cores available (currently rocking a 32 core Threadripper) and AMD is sure as hell not interested in actually pushing HEDT forward since they became the top dog. (I have a few grand burning a hole in my pocket waiting for a product they don&#x27;t want to release.)
