I am not a CPU designer, but I do use computers for 15 hours a day, and nobody is making a good CPU for me.
I want a 4 or 6 core CPU, with the same number of threads, where the focus is on single thread performance. I do not want to buy a 16-24 core beast to get a lot of premium-binned high-clocking cores at once, I do not need that. I am almost never 'waiting' and when I am, it's for single threaded things to complete.
Give me a 4P/2E or even a 2P/2E system with a beefy iGPU. Strap 32GB RAM to it and wire optional expandable memory slots to CXL on some other tier. Set the scheduler to start all jobs on the E-cores and only move them to P-cores when they demonstrate that they need to get something done and it's not happening right away.
The benchmarks will suck. The marketing will be miserable, but I can almost guarantee that if it has a very high single thread score, I would be better off.
