When it comes to Intel, I feel like progress is minimal. So I agree, one of the most important aspects now is temperatures. I wouldnt buy this chip if it was twice as fast as its predecessors with the downside that it hits 90C or more. Wouldnt be appealing to me at all.

Saying "we were allowed" to doesn't make it OK. That's like a child stealing sweets because their dad said it was OK to get sweets from the shop.

'If Mindfactory doesn't need to comply with Intel's Rocket Lake launch date, why should they? This undermines the very concept of a product "launch day".'

Well I would say AMD and Nvidia pretty much screwed that little doggie long ago. :mellow:
