Intel

Given they're over two and half years old and plagued with reliability concerns, you might be surprised to learn that Intel's Raptor Lake CPUs are selling like high-temperature baked comestibles. That's according to Intel itself in its latest earnings call for investors.

Raptor Lake refers to Intel's 13th and 14th Gen CPUs for mobile and desktop. Michelle Johnston Holdhaus, CEO of Intel Products, explained that cost is the driving factor behind the ongoing success of these chips, which first went on sale in October 2022, a relative age ago by the standards of computer chips.

"We're not pushing the old parts based on margins. What we're really seeing is much greater demand from our customers for N minus one and N minus two [referring to the two previous generations of CPUs before Intel's current Arrow Lake, meteor Lake and Lunar Lake processor families] products, so that they can continue to deliver system price points that consumers are really demanding. As we've all talked about, the macroeconomic concerns and tariffs have everybody kind of hedging their bets in what they need to have from an inventory perspective. And Raptor Lake is a great part," Holdhaus says.

I am genuinely curious. I am a person who is 80% anti-corporation and I had no idea that this community existed until it popped up on the everything posts. I imagine there are probably many communities or subreddits dedicated to specific companies like Tesla I guess which is the first thing that came to mind when I tried to think, or Google. But Intel seems a bit off the beaten path which I suppose is what triggered my question.

My first instinct is that this is a community created by the company itself for advertisement purposes which I also despise immensely as i see advertisements as nothing short of propaganda for companies vs countries.

Why not post everything that would go here to a community for CPUs? AI? Or just a general PC components community? Why specifically Intel? It just kind of blows my mind that people follow and subscribe to specific companies. It just feels like people subscribing to People magazine to follow Kim Kardashian or whatever (which I also don't understand).

Sorry if it feels judgy or whatever but I just had to ask after discovering that this community existed. I would have posted even if it were a [email protected] or a [email protected]. maybe not, maybe. Intel is definitely a little more niche which piqued my interest as to the reasoning. I don't know. Just curious.

This community seems to be abandoned by the moderators. I created an alternative community on lemmy.zip instance.

Intel said much re Lion cove lately. I don't wanna read a long article re it. I just want a comparison between it and Redwood cove.

It's about 10%–18% better.

Let's await the Lunar lake 💻 and see the performance in programs. If what Intel said is true, props to them for continuously improving x86-architecture chips.
