Demand isn't that slow, its just intel's product line is garbage as of this moment, with poor management having no clue on what a proper launch is, or when they should launch something.
They held a monopoly for so long, they forgot how to fight, and fight back hard.
Instead they are still trying to pull there name as weight and hope people will buy because it goes "ding ding ding ding - intel melody trademark* and is Intel.
They need fresh blood like how AMD did when they hired Lisa Su.
The old people need to just stand back, and let the fresh people who actually listen to us take control, or actually know what marking Timing means.
(im looking at you Intel Arc.... and your wrecked launch)
