It makes sense that the packaging for these chips(Meteor/alder lake), particularly with Intel’s advanced chip stacking technology, can’t be too cheap. For lower-end offerings, a solid monolithic design is hard to beat. In budget platforms, the Raptor/Alder series can be efficient if not pushed too hard on turbo. In the sub-$600 laptop market, Intel needs to be careful about how much the CPU contributes to the bill of materials, as they can't afford to place these newer, costlier chips in low-margin products when older, more mature designs fit the bill better.
