After seeing the following HY video, I'd like to reiterate:
Intel 14th gen desktop CPUs are an outdated monolithic design based on an outdated RPL-R architecture built on an outdated Intel 7 node and none of these should even exist in this day and age. It's a shame they released such a product in 2023. HY spelt it out clearly in no uncertain terms:

MTL on the other hand is something we can looking forward to. An amazing tile design. But cpu tile is still based on RWC which sadly is a rehash of RPL and is built on the slightly dated Intel 4 node. But the increase in efficiency & powerful iGPU is enough to make it standout.
But the real excitement starts next year with ARL. An all new architecture (LNC) built on a new advanced node 20A. I think ARL is gonna take efficiency to the next level. Unquestioned leadership? Maybe... maybe not... too early to speculate (but might even match Apple silicon). Just sayin.
But the 14th gen desktop parts in 2023 is a bad dream I wish to forget. May the almighty stop Intel from flooding the market with outdated parts. Looking forward to MTL & ARL.
