Unfortunate name.
Reminds me of a few months ago when Nvidia announced their new CuLitho fabrication process, which is Spanish means “cute little ass”. I hope Nvidia adds backside power delivery to their new CuLitho chips, just so we can get as many jokes as possible out of this fab cycle.

I don't have the link, but Derek Lowe did a great In The Pipeline on this stuff.

I was on my phone, and realized I hadn’t bookmarked it.
I like all the stuff he did in that series, so the second link is great!
Hopefully this will be the kick in the backside that Intel needs to start leading again.
Intel, just like Boeing and to a lesser extent many other F500 companies appear to be fully financialized at this point. Their executives probably wake up each day and think about how much stock to buy back and nothing else. Do they even remember what it is the company used to do for a living?

Culitho != Culito
I’ve got the Spanish speaking software engineer joke market locked up!
Would it be the case that a lower grade or even waste silicon blanks can be used to do the power component? Can a lower level of 'scale' be used, to achieve the power lines, and so more assured/fault-tolerant production? If it has to lock-step the generational burdens of masking and technology, and is unable to capitalise otherwise unused silicon, it doubles costs in those inputs. Not that it doesn't mean it can't de…

The site looks great on mobile Safari at least. Maybe your system has an adblocker available?
Installed Adblock plus. No change. What did you use?

They really are not making amazing GPUs. The ones on the market are only decent value because Intel is selling them far below what it cost to make them, because there's no way they could sell them at proper prices. Even still, they have ceased production, and the product is still on the shelves.
I'd have it the other way around. Intel's doing OK with cpus but man their P-core is way too big & hot. They've been adding and adding to the same core design for a decade & it's a monster. Also their process is still flagging. They've managed well for such limitations but real change has to come, soon. Meanwhile Arc is kicking ass. It's launch was a dud, but the team has really kept pushing on making the chip run be…
The new P's are insane.
I have an i5-1240p and it's the best chip I've ever owned.
12 cores, 25w tdp.
