so between this and panther lake, it looks like Intel is really back in the game on CPUs, at least for mobile and desktop.

I may have to finally buy a little Intel. I’ve never owned the stock, though my wife did as an employee. if they even become a strong number two foundry And their other designs start to pay off, they could get serious

Bartlett lake is just an updated Intel_7 raptor lake, primarily for embedded. I don’t think it is that interesting. OTOH, panther lake looks pretty good and is receiving a great reception. Intel still relies on TSMC for the best volume shipping parts: arrow lake, and Lunar lake. Nova lake later this year brings intel back into competitive space with AMD for desktop gaming.
