Sounds like a nice core, but intel's gone from "fries itself" broken in Raptor Lake to merely a broken cache/memory archecture in Lunar Lake.

None of the integer improvements make it onto the screen, as it were.

edit: I got Lunar and Arrow Lake's issues mixed up, but still there should be a lot more integer uplift on paper.

What do you consider broken about Lunar Lake? It looks good to me. The E-cores are on a separate island to allow the ring to power off and that does lead to lower performance but it's still good enough IMO.
