12900 will be 6!
Pretty soon their high end desktop parts will be back down to 4/8.

Arden will top with 16 cores (8 "normal" and 8 "small").

Considering Intel has literally been using the same process originally designed for 4 cores Skylake the last 7 years, I'm amazed they even made it to the 10 cores in the 10900K. Granted, you need liquid nitrogen to actually cool all 10 cores running at their highest frequency the whole time, but still.
The longer Intel delays, the better it is for ARM. So I want them to keep delaying as long as possible.

$600 for 8 cores? GTFO OP.

I have not red about that... But I hope it's a laptop chip, given how we have had real 16 core desktop CPUs for years now.
And the troll in me wants to say will it be 10 or 5nm?

I still game at 1080p but 240hz, kind of hard to go back to 60hz.

Isn’t the msrp for the 10core i9-10900k $500? Now you are paying much more for fewer cores from Intel as well as AMD.Alright, we get the idea - you're getting more cores, for less money. But what about Thunderbolt 4? So alright, you're a cool creator that needs that many cores, but at the same time, for some obscure reason, as a creator, you don't have a need for Thunderbolt 4.
It's like you point out that the chainsaw is cool, but the gas for it is in another game, in the part where the moon is.
Thunderbolt 4 boards for AMD are at least $100 to $150 more expensive!
With an Intel CPU at least your life won't be an adventure with an unsolvable riddle.
Seems like a bad deal all around for this new cpu.

I'll ride my 9900k until its fiery death.
To think I bought it for 350 (even less, since it was a mobo+cpu bundle during Ryzen 3 launch) new almost two years ago it's madness. Otherwise I'll be rocking a Ryzen in a heartbeat.

Is there going to be like a iiz9? Sandy bridge took off but AMD tech is like mega mode.

What a fucking mess for Intel.
With that said, I do think they have a stronger path forward than AMD. They just fumbled and it has cost them a few years. I think their insane resources will eventually put them back clearly on top.

ARM will get them first, thank God.

I wish amd cpus were widely available for laptops.

ARM will never be as strong as X86

I don't know, you've seen the new mac cpus? They're rather performant - granted they're 10W parts and who knows maybe arm can't scale like x86 but...

That, and it's all on the end-user company to design such a chip. Apple's chips are what they are because they've been working on them for years.

But can it run Minecraft?
