short-n-round Results aren't that surprising given this is a refresh Hx part (just a desktop in a mobile package). Intel has been making good strides across the board recently. Another thing – please pay a bit closer attention when reviewing these articles. The picture caption is wrong – that is not a Raptor Lake part, It's Lunar Lake, and it's not the first time I have seen this. Reply

Notton If real, impressive for a laptop. I would add a further caveat. Single core performance on a benchmark ≠ gaming performance. You can check this with a 9800X3D. It only scores 4425 Single, and 39974 Multi (in the same passmark benchmark) but the 9800X3D dances around a 285K when it comes to games. If Tom's gets their hands on a 290HX, I hope they can test it against the 9955X3D. Reply

Stomx Why in just the first its EUV lithography product Intel have not literally exterminated, ripped into pieces and blowed like a dust its rival AMD for the multiyear humiliation the only advantages of which so far were 1. Nanometers 2. Large Level3 caches 3. Chiplets and despite of lack of all that Intel was still keeping domination in laptop market? 🙂 Reply

Key considerations

  • Investor positioning can change fast
  • Volatility remains possible near catalysts
  • Macro rates and liquidity can dominate flows
