Arrr, me hearties! Word from the crow’s nest be tellin’ that Beast Lake and the grand ’Royal Core’ venture be tossed into Davy Jones’ locker by Intel! Aye, that be a right jolly mess, I say! Now, what’ll we plunder instead?

Ahoy mateys! Gather 'round as I regale ye with the tale of Intel's fabled Beast Lake processors, which be likely cast into Davy Jones' locker! Rumor has it that the whole Royal Core project, tied to these mythical chips, be kaput, thanks to that scallywag CEO, Pat Gelsinger. The whispers from the high seas of YouTube, courtesy of Moore’s Law is Dead, tell us that a chip of dreams for PC gamers be gone, snuffed out like a flickering lantern.

What’s this Royal Core, ye ask? A grand plan to replace hyper-threading with monstrous cores that could transform, like a ship changing sails in the wind! But alas, with the departure of Captain Jim Keller from Intel, the winds shifted, and the treasure trove of performance was deemed too costly to pursue. The Beast Lake Refresh, a flagship fit for a king, promised six colossal cores, doubling the power of Raptor Lake – but it seems that ship has sailed.

Fear not, for while the seas be rocky at Intel, there's still a chance the Rentable Units may rise again from the depths! So, keep yer spyglass trained on the horizon, for the saga of processors continues to unfold in this ever-changing digital ocean!
