News Intel Core 200U CPU spotted with Alder Lake silicon — Core 7 250U shows identical configuration as the Core 7 150U, Core i7-1355U and Core i7-1255U

[Admin]

The newly spotted Core 7 250U cache configuration indicates that Intel's Core "Non-Ultra" 200 series will still use Alder Lake.

Nice.

I'd like it if they refreshed the price... downwards.

Personally, I do not like the Alder/ Raptor Lake U series processors. They are very heavy on E-cores and just 2 miserable P-cores, while charging people as some premium CPU. So I am paying for the E-cores that I don't want?

Interesting you should say that. In at least two of MILD's videos from before 13th/14th gen started to commit "Seppuku", he showed the list of top selling CPUs on Amazon and pointed out that from the Intel's side, the CPUs that people were going for were "as many P-cores as possible, and as fewer E-cores as possible" ones. So yeah, you and most of the world are of the same opinion.

Even on desktop going for more than 8 ecores is silly. I like ecores, I want ecores, I just don't see the point of going for more than 8 on a desktop chip. Although with the new beefier chadmonts dunno, maybe they will be more desirable.

You might get your wish with Bartlett Lake in 2025.

yeah, Intel at this point is basically trying to do clearance for Raptor Lake without officially doing clearance for Raptor Lake

The IPC gap between P-core and E-core appears to have shrunk significantly with Skymont, making them like low-clocked Raptor Lake cores.

It's possible that Intel will do away with E-cores, either using aspects of Royal Cove or something similar (see latest MLID video). But these cores are pretty "fast" now. I'd be willing to use a Skymont version of the N100... but a die with 2 P-cores and 8 E-cores would be even better.
