Hi Intel, I'm itching to buy an Xe3P! Or, Nova Lake? Crescent Island? Celestial? Jaguar Shores?

Whatever the hell you name it doesn't matter to me, I just want a workstation with one of them bad boys attached to 160GB of RAM for legit inference power!

I've been saving my money not paying for Claude Code so I can run my own agentic coding setup at home on yours. Please don't charge too much for the workstation class card if you can at all manage it. Maybe give us a discount to preorder? Please don't price a regular consumer like me out of the market!

Also, I am speculating integer based models will become hot due to lower memory and power requirements. Will the Xe3P be able to do integer-based math inference to use all that RAM to even greater effect?

Intel wouldn’t decide to do this even to save their own life

The whole rest of the industry seems blind to the possibility of excellent personal/private agentic coding. There is a chance Intel could capitalize on that and steal a ton of mindshare in a flash.

Maybe a slim chance based on past performance, but it's there.

Intel's strategy has consistently been that they do not consider doing any kind of business unless they earn at least 25% margin on each sale.
