Glad to see intel put a focus on higher clock speeds with the 15th Generation i7/i5's. I see the newer i5 Core Ultra 245k has a base speed of 4.2GHz wich is like a 700MHz increase over last generation for P-Cores. And the E-Cores are now at 3.6GHz wich is faster than last generation P and E Cores. The i5 has 14 Cores making it far superior to my older 12th Generation in every way wich has only 10-Cores @ 3.7-GHz p-cores.
The new i7 Core Ultra 265 is 20-Cores with p-cores at a base speed of 3.9-GHz vs last generation 3.4GHz.
Intel has'nt done so well Business wise recently. Part of the problem i think is the reduction of clock-speed in the past to focus on more Cores, wich might have been needed to lay down the ground work for both Cores and Clock-speed greatness of the future wich is what we are now starting to get, but still i think this hurt them a little. Plus they are not prepared for current and future directions of the Market with graphic cards, ARM Processors, etc. The Apple M4 i heard preforms better at single thread tasks wich gets back to intels problem of just pure raw power with base Clock-Speed of a Single core. I do believe generally intel CPUs are more than enough power for now but progressive speed increase over time still is needed as people gravitate twards raw juggernaut power, hence the popularity of the Apple M4. Plus there has been some recent plugin releases that can challenge the best CPUs and prevent large Mix's when not managed properly, so Developers WILL DEFINITELY use more Clock-speed if given.
I hope intel finally get us over the 5GHz mark soon as well as get their business issues sorted out. Looks like the Federal Gov is buying 10% of intel to help out the struggling company.
