Unfortunately Intel also isn't interested in making Panther Lake:

So many smart best things going on on PL. Xe3 GPU looks amazing, especially the 12 core one. I love the extra low power core on the soc chiplet, allowing the main CPU chiplet to post down. Intel's EIMB is great, such an advanced interconnect for low power multi-chip. 18a and backside power. Excellent stuff!

Hard to blame them though for abandoning consumer market, like is happening with the entire rest of the computing market. Why make cores if the rest of the computer is too ghastly expensive to afford?
