The Dell XPS 13 with the intel 5 320 (Wildcat Lake) is getting really good reviews.

Looking at benchmarks for the 320 vs the 322 is enlightening, as the 322 is essentially the same chip but as a full Panther Lake. So the same 2P+4E+2Xe3 setup, but without all of these optimizations. You get twice the memory bandwidth and TB4 as the main consumer facing factors.

One of the interesting things about the N100 line of chips is that they can drive a 4k120hz display just fine - which is _awesome_ for game streaming.

Looks like the next gen is gonna ditch that. :/

Intel N100 spec sheet [1] says it's limited to 4K@60Hz and this seems confirmed by a few Reddit comments. If you're using the N100 for display output, are you sure you're not running 1440p@120Hz?

I have a whole thread over on Reddit about it, the spec sheet is wrong - but you must use displayport.

It's great to see Intel attempting a strong comeback. It looks like this chip will work well for those $200-$300 mini PCs sold on Amazon.
