Energy efficient while same speed or at the expense of speed? I am going to buy faster CPU regardless. Are they saying that they would make only that CPU?
This is confusing to me too. There's only one specification I look at when buying a CPU: benchmark. I'll buy the fastest one my budget can afford. Sometimes I'll go budget on the graphics card just to increase my CPU + mobo budget. Energy consumption is not a figure I give a shit about except when calculating what size PSU to install. If Intel haven't made a new processor that is faster than the old one then I won't be interested. I'll buy whatever is nearest the top of the benchmarks.
I mean serious gamers are already preferring the Xeon, which is Intel's business chip. That will continue if Intel treats the consumer market as if they're less performance concerned and/or tech savvy than the business market.
if one were in the business, one would make very sure to design to get high rest results on all the benchmarks to prove you have a great product worth a premium over your competition?
