budget chips when please

I think Intel lost the enthusiast community, but mainstream buyers will still buy these without much thought. Personally I've always liked Intel and I think competition is essential in a marketplace. So, I hope they start rebuilding their (good) name, but I'm also happy to see AMD gaining market share right now.

The middle tier 255H/HX SKUs look the most interesting again. All of or almost all of the cores, all the GPU, without the stupidly large price increase for a miniscule clock bump at the top end.

now lets see how these performs against amd hx 370/365 (cpu and igpu)

Does anyone else feel like 'too many cores' are being foisted on us? For day-to-day usage on browsing and media viewing, I rarely tap more than one core, and I probably wouldn't notice if I only had 1 'P' and 2 'E' cores total. I know gaming, media creation, and compiling all benefit from a lot of horsepower, but it seems like many users would be served just fine with 4-core systems that had the equivalent of the high-end iGPU.

It will be nice if Intel can resume designing and making more low-power CPUs with very low power consumptions in the single-digit range for end-users.

The Atom and Celeron lines have been largely forgotten ever since Alder Lake came out. One or two token Atom or Celeron models per generation that are practically non-existent in practically all known laptops or mini PCs do not count.
