News Intel Bartlett Lake-S: up to 12P-Core or up to 8P-Core +16E-core

[DavidC1]

It probably beats 14900K as the 4 e-core clusters of 4 e-cores each are slightly larger than 4 extra P cores in their place and slightly more power hungry are they not?? Only reason Intel went with e-cores is because they are more space efficient per multi threading performance and perform better for apps that scale up to tons and tons or even infinite threads than putting 1 P core in same amount of space.

It'll be worse in high multi-threaded applications, and also the P cores are super power hungry. Look at Anandtech's 12900K review. The 8E cores allow great increase at relatively small power increase, because the extra cores allow the P cores to downclock and be more power efficient.
