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.

intel used to only rebrand their large node updates.
now that TSMC has popularized branding every single node change they make (N5, N5P, N5HPC, N4, N4P, N4X are all variants of N5) and intel is trying to build a foundry business, they're branding updates to their nodes too instead of just adding pluses. So in the past intel 3 would be intel 4+, intel 18a would be intel 20a+ etc.
They're also burning through cash to get them out sooner due to how delayed intel 10nm was. According to their fab director they got a "blank check" to get their fabs back on competitive pace.
Tbh I don't even think Intel 20A is going to be a large density jump over Intel 3 either. Perhaps in SRAM specifically.
