I think this makes sense in the format that Intel may make 5nm i3 CPUs branded as something else, the timeline for these chips is way far off though, 2022 at least. The M1X ravaging will have already happened to the high-spec SKU industry. Intel needs a response framed as 'we are there at that level'.
That should be an i3-like (in design, not name) ultra low power but clocked to the moon CPU. Possibly breaking 5Ghz by a LOT.
