So Zen 5c is weaker than Zen 4, 8840 with 8 Zen 4 cores beats Krackan with 4 Zen 5 and 4 Zen 5c cores in mulithreading. Unless it's doing so using a lot less power I'd say poor result and not what I'd call ptogress. Save you money on run out Hawk Point models.

Not a Lunar Lake competitor unless it's more power efficient. Lunar Lake is a giant leap in power efficiency while also maintaining very good performance, but it's not trying to be a high end chip, it's for thin and lights, and battery is key.

Intel's chip is not battery efficient, they just throttle down performance when unplugged to save battery life.
