I seriously wish Intel would pivot and stop being ultra worried about things like their atom or Celeron or whatever it's name is being competing with their own stuff and memory capping it. Lots of room for a really low power decently cored memory heavy CPU but they've always capped features and things like ecc memory away to the top skus which is really annoying.
Also not talked about but isn't Samsung and tsmcs fabs booked clear out the next 24 months?
Most cpu manufacturers do this. Binning, changing product numbers or lines around, and marketing tactics.
@GamersNexus on YouTube occasionally does stories on this. Recently they had a good intel slide deck trying to disparage AMD and muddying the water on their own product lines.

To be fair AMD does this as well. A lot of modern CPUs series are older gen ZEN cores build on older TSMC nodes, rebadged as the newer major series with only the minor number identifying that it's older gen design[1], but AMD does not disclose this in their own comparison tables.[2]
They've been doing this since at least the Ryzen 5000 series(used to own one) so I'm not sure why everyone is so quick to point fingers at Intel but gives AMD a pass. It's not like one is more righteous than the other, they're both major for-profit corporations using marketing confusion to decisive buyers.
To be fair Nvidia Blackwell is basically the same thing, a doubled up Hopper chip that shares a few things between the two for slight efficiency gains.
Momentum of batch buys is running out with new buys coming at a cost? If your chips aren’t performance competitive in processing or energy, you have to discount until you hit cost parity.
