“With Series 3, we are laser focused on improving power efficiency, adding more CPU performance, a bigger GPU in a class of its own, more AI compute and app compatibility you can count on with x86.” – Jim Johnson, Senior Vice President and General Manager, Client Computing Group, Intel

A laser focus on five things is either business nonsense or optics nonsense. Who was this written for?

It's all the things Apple's processors are excellent at and AMD is not far behind Apple. So unless Intel delivers on all those things they can't hope to gain the market share they have lost.

Can't we just focus on everything?

I think you mean laser focus on everything. Maybe they have a prism.

Well this is the consumer electronic showcase so I would say consumers who are looking at buying laptops

Somewhat ironically if they were laser focused using infared lasers, wouldn't that imply the company was not very specific at all? Infared is something like 700 nm, which would be huge in terms of transistors

State of the art lithography currently uses extreme ultraviolet, which is 13.5nm. So maybe they are EUV laser-focused, just with many mirrors pointing it in 5 different directions?

Meanwhile they are NOT laser-focusing on doing more of Lunar Lake, with its on-package memory and glorious battery life.

Intel called it a “one-off mistake”, it’s the best mistake Intel ever made.

Intel is claiming that Panther lake has 30% better battery life than Lunar Lake.
