...and Optane too
I don't know why Intel likes to kill off their best products? They have a lot of products that could really put Intel (and x86 in general) to new heights, and yet Intel tends to kill them simply because 'it doesn't make us money'

The IMC location is also one of the reasons why it also has poor gaming performance too

Don't think Intel can price it that cheap when you consider TSMC wafer prices

12700K, if you can get one cheap
Barlett Lake? That looks like it's meant for server/embedded use, similar to Meteor Lake-PS

As long as X3D exists AM4 will still always remain relevant

No, the near entirety of Core Ultra CPUs are pretty underwhelming anyway (LNL being the sole exception), and I think even a performance update isn't magically going to make things better for Intel
Just stick to LGA1700, or go AM5

Both GPUs are kinda irrelevant when you consider that the RX6600 exist, where it has been in the $199 range for quite some time

Knowing Nvidia's mindset, I'm pretty sure that the 3050 will sell much more than the 6600, despite the latter being substantially faster than the former

The 4060 should have been called the 4050, and priced it accordingly

? PCIe 4.0 x8 is still fine even on 3.0, and 8GB is still plenty doable if you manage game settings well (I've gamed on 1440p with a 8GB card)

Meh, considering that high end graphics = expensive game development costs these days which basically means 'safe' game designs, I've long moved away from games with fancy graphics and played something that feels more game like
I'd much more prefer indies/semi-niche JRPGs over fancy Hollywood stuff anyway

Consoles? That's a good one if you want nothing but Hollywood movies with 'interactivity' being peppered in (Nintendo notwithstanding, that's why my PS4 is pretty much a dust collector at the moment)

Maybe I'm in the minority, but the gaming industry might be better off making 'worse' looking games if it does translate to a better game - but this will certainly put hardware manufacturers to bankruptcy and kill Moore's Law for good if the gaming industry did just that

More crucially, how it was mounted? The way how an AIO is mounted can have significant difference in thermals

...but why? This looks like a pretty unnecessary move from Intel

TBH ARL-S isn't that bad as most people think, but the thing is Intel pretty much killed off the value proposition of LGA1851 with the abysmal upgrade path over their competitors
If it had the same platform longevity as AM5 then I can see LGA1851 filling the niche of a value gaming/workstation hybrid build
