For those of us not yet aware, 18a/Panther lake is Intel's LAST chance. Don't fu-k this up!

I love my lunar lake laptop, I haven't even hooked up my 24 core desktop and its been 6 months on it. If they lost the efficiency of lunar on next gen, they have made a strategic error. Apple has it right, max efficiency wins on every consumer workload.
Dude. You are living in the Intel bubble. Greatest chip ever. Really?
Intel's Lunar Lake CPUs have faced several issues, including problems with integrated graphics, sound, Bluetooth, and low-power states. Performance drops on battery power and potentially lower margins due to the integrated memory on the package have also been noted.

Better luck next time with Panther Lake, but I wouldn’t hold your breath.
Funny you say this when Lunar Lake was the best CPU ever made by anyone.
It’s like shuffling deck chairs on the titanic.
Let’s hope they catch the spelling errors. Do you think we should write caution sign in Arial or Times new Roman at the nuclear blast site?
Do you think those 21,000 testers could catch a spelling error and flag the incorrect use of "your" in place of "you're"?
Panther Lake Is The Ballgame. It’s yours to win or lose.
Yep. If Panther lake hits the news cycle for anything negative the laptop OEMs will dump Intel. They’re moving toward ARM already anyway. The swap out for our defective desktop chips has been canceled. We have burned the deck top customers so hard may never get that segment back. Panther lake is on Intels new in house fab process if it hits negative news nobody will come and fab as a service it dead in the water .
More about Intels Last Chance. We have already lost consumer confidence and and we are asking fab customers to try our new process 18a. They’re watching closely.
18a/Panther Lake needs to be on time (Strike 1) It needs to be flawless, no bugs, no overheating, no microcode patching and it needs to be be as good or better than the current competition.
We have already lost consumer confidence and we are now losing OEM support. We are not the only option and we keep giving them products that are more trouble than they are worth.
I want to hear more about this last chance. Say it’s as woonderful as LNL. What do we win?
The signal to noise ratio in Intel's validation environment has always been very low. Most of the effort is spent on false failures and debugging and fixing validation hardware and software.
Finding bugs has never been the issue. It's finding, debugging, and fixing true defects and bugs which you proposed solution won't fix.
lol, @a2 projects that less than 60% of the 21K people would actually do any work if they implemented OPs plan. Sound about right for Intel.
I’m not sure OP works at Intel. That would just create 12,000 more people submitting bugs that they won’t fix.
