The issue is OEMs aren't really interested... The driver for LPDDR5 pricing is phones (even the latest iPhone 12 is still on LPDDR4). Until LPDDR5 reaches comparable pricing with LPDDR4, OEMs won't switch. Margins on PC/laptops are too thin...
These could be nice for a higher power dGPU-less system, but also probably for thin(ner) and light(er) gaming systems like the Zephyrus G14. Turbo power draws will definitely be worth looking at though - I'd be pretty shocked if a single core at 5GHz allowed the SoC to not exceed 35W. 4 cores at 4.3GHz is definitely not happening in 35W, though hopefully it'll stay at or above base clocks at least.

The single and multi core throne is rightly Intel'sjospoortvliet - Monday, January 11, 2021 - link
At least in energy consumption 😂lmcd - Monday, January 11, 2021 - link
Dunno, but a fully-enabled IGP means we could see a 35W laptop with no dGPU. That'd be nice to see.Spunjji - Tuesday, January 12, 2021 - link
That already exists (pretty much):https://www.anandtech.com/show/16323/the-msi-prest...

At least until tomorrow, when AMD unveils Cezanne.Spunjji - Tuesday, January 12, 2021 - link
With a 4-core chip? Not even at 35W.neo_1221 - Monday, January 11, 2021 - link
"smooth 4K gaming or 1080p at 70+ FPS"I'd hate to see what framerate they consider "smooth".

CPU performance is pretty much irrelevant to that anyway. Straws are being grasped at.trivik12 - Monday, January 11, 2021 - link
Has Intel dropped plans for Tigerlake with LPDDR5. There is no update today on that.weilin - Wednesday, February 10, 2021 - link

Having both four digit and five digit model numbers for the same generation is incredibly confusing (>_<)Valantar - Tuesday, January 12, 2021 - link

TL needs ~50W for 4 cores at 4.3Ghz on the "15W" version of the chip, it'll need the same here.Spunjji - Tuesday, January 12, 2021 - link
So they're making the power consumption of their existing chips official and throwing in a golden-sample option for 5Ghz single core.A m a z i n g
