Should've named it the T-Rump. -

Exactly, the E-cores actually give you good performance for what they offer, it's no surprise that Intel is doubling down on more E-cores instead of more P-cores. The LP-cores are good for when you're system is just sitting there idle and waiting to be used. Every core has it's place tbh, it's just up to Intel to and MS to work to get the scheduler right. -

Report: Trump's T1 Mobile off to a rocky start with messy pre-orders by David Uzondu You might have heard by now that The Trump Organization, spearheaded by President Trump's sons, Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump, is launching yet another product to add to the collection. This time, it is a gold smartphone, the T1, and a companion wireless service. The whole operation is being pushed with the usual "America-first" bravado, but it seems they forgot to get the basics right. If you thought you could just hop online and secure your patriotic pocket computer, you are in for a nasty surprise, as the whole process appears to be fundamentally broken. A new report from 404Media details this chaos perfectly, as one of their writers tried to order one of the T1 phones. The goal was simple: pay the $100 preorder deposit and see what this thing is all about when it ships. What happened next was a masterclass in how not to conduct e-commerce. The website crashed, booted him to an error page, and then, for good measure, charged his credit card the wrong amount entirely, taking $64.70. And get this, he received a confirmation email saying his order would ship... despite never once being asked for his shipping address. It is, in his words, the "worst experience I've ever faced buying a consumer electronic product". To add insult to injury, when he tried to log into the new account, the site prompted him to create, and he was immediately met with yet another error page, locking him out. The shoddy experience is not just limited to the checkout. Neowin found a bunch of errors on the official product page. Sure, it boasts a big 6.8-inch Punch Hole AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate and a 50MP main camera, which sounds nice on paper. But then you notice the company completely forgot to mention what processor powers the phone, which is probably a MediaTek. At one point, the page bizarrely listed a "5,000 mAh long life camera," though that has since been fixed. By the way, there's good reason to doubt that this phone will be made in America, despite the press releases insisting it will be. Sourcing all the necessary components without using foreign parts is unbelievably difficult and expensive, something even Apple does not do. The more likely scenario, according to Max Weinbach, is that this is simply a reskin of a much cheaper device, maybe the T-Mobile REVVL 7 Pro 5G, which retails at a fraction of the T1's $499 asking price. The T1 Mobile joins a sprawling collection of other products likely aimed at the same loyal customer. The catalog of gear for this audience already includes the gold "Never Surrender" sneakers, the "God Bless the USA" Bible, "Victory47" perfume, digital trading cards, $TRUMP memecoins, and more. It is still very early days, of course, and while one might forgive some teething issues for a new venture, this initial preorder phase has been exceptionally chaotic. Hopefully, things will become much clearer once there is a firm launch date and a physical product to test. Do you plan to buy the T1 and move to Trump Mobile? -
