Intel’s new lunar lake cpus feel like an itanium moment all over again (rant)

Personally i feel like cpus are in a weird itanium all over again era and cpus are going downhill fast. i miss the 14-900KS days where intel and Amd were chasing peak performance no matter what.

As someone who does a lot of single core intensive stuff like Virtual machines, gaming, unity and unreal engine 5, coding, and web dev Intel is focusing on power efficiency and removing hyperthreading is a sale kill for me like I’m not paying that much money for what feels like an experimental chip.

Now of coarse i know its not Itanium but what i meant like it feels like deja vu almost? where intel is focusing on developers and compilers to optimize for their chips rather then make em faster.

like Intel has been here before with the Intel itanium disaster we all know how it ends we need fast cpus not power efficiency traded off for what id call an experimental chip i seriousley dont get why intel is betting on this weird new arcitecture to be the new thing.

and Amd kinda has a whole other issue with their weird br
