Thanks! Even if this is only the enthusiast crowd, they're typically ahead of the curve, by a year or two, so Intel can't affort to ignore this. At some point the there will be less willingness from Dell/HP/Lenovo/Fujitsu to buy a subpar product.
They have a new socket so even if you bought a motherboard a few months ago that wouldn’t work.
I hate that Intel 16th gen Lunarrow Lake is not Made by Intel, literally no reason to buy from them.
Being 2nd best when there's only two choices for x86 CPUs makes them the worst at everything.
AMDs x3D chips are exceptionally good for gaming but are relatively very poor for MT “productivity” stuff (this gen seems to be a lot better at that, though).
13/14th gen also seemingly also had somewhat better price/performance overall than AM5 chips.
Just look at how many products people buy based on cost alone
