>I got my next ThinPad P51s in 2017 - an it was just one huge disappointment. It felt like Intel was stepping back.
the microcode bugs cut performance by 20-30% varrying in your workloads. and it comes with a 4k display? That would also contribute to a performance loss, depending on what you're doing.
That 2.8-3.9 cpu would be equal to a 2.3-3.3 before the bug, afaik. Thats hardly faster than 10 year old duals, wow!

Intel is so large that it is using up too much of production capacity for anyone to enter the market. Intel crumbling = more resources for new players to get lower cost manufacturing capacities.
