Exactly, and Intel has been all about peak/short-burst performance over the past 5-6 generations, if not longer, just so it can keep winning benchmarks.

Now that led them to a new microarchitecture that will likely suck on servers and laptops, due to the high power usage, and might not even win on the desktop compared to Zen 4 CPUs (Alder Lake will mostly compete with Zen 4, not Zen 3).
