I mean what is there to comment. Intel botched another product release. It is just a sad state of affairs.
Not that I disbelieve, I just wasn't especially picking that up from the article.
intel has no competition to amd in the gaming segment right now. they control both the low energy efficiency market and the high performance one.
This bug has disqualified Lunar Lake for me, and I really do not understand how such a major bug has not been discovered before the product launch (the bug has been discovered when in many computers running Linux the keyboard or the mouse did not function properly, because their events were not always reported to the operating system; there are simple workarounds for the bug, but not using MONITOR/MWAIT eliminates one of the few advantages that Intel/AMD CPUs have over Arm-based CPUs, so I do not consider this as an acceptable solution).
