Thanks George! One thing I haven't heard or read any statement from Intel about is the memory controller and improvements in latency accessing main memory. Intel's CPUs have an unfortunate tendency to have significantly worse (longer) latencies accessing DRAM than, for example, AMD's Zen CPUs.
I forgot: the same (long-ish latencies, especially compared to Zen) also applies to L3 (last level) cache with Intel CPUs. So, if you or Chester have the opportunity to circle back to Intel about Panther Lake, please ask them about any improvements on speeds and latencies for both DRAM and L3 compared to both Lunar Lake and Arrow Lake - Thanks!
