Rules
-
Be civil. Uncivil language, slurs, and insults will result in a ban. If you can't say something respectfully, don't say it at all.
-
No Unoriginal Sources, Referral links or Paywalled Articles.
-
All posts must be related to Intel or Intel products.
-
Give competitors' recommendations only where appropriate. If a user asks for Intel only (i.e. i5-12600k vs i5-13400?) recommendations, do not reply with non-Intel recommendations. Commenting on a build pic saying they should have gone AMD/Nvidia is also inappropriate, don't be rude. Let people enjoy things.

CPU Cooling problems: Just like 95C is normal for Ryzen, 100C is normal for Intel CPUs in many workloads. If you're worried about CPU temperatures, please look at reviews for the laptop or CPU cooler you're using.

If you listen to the investor calls and roadmaps they state when 20A/18A will be ready and on what manufacturing processes.
My guess is IFS will be coming online and Intel is saving that for their customers. And the other is better margin. Intel has better margins on their own manufacturing reserved for their higher priced products.
Lunar Lake being a consumer product will mean lower margins. And saving 20A/18A for server and server gpu products could mean better margins.
Performance is likely secondary. All new silicon perform pretty close that you really can't tell the difference.
Only NVIDIA has the exception with the software scaling. Like DLSS and Frame Generation.
