The most likely path, plus upside and downside

Watch over 12-18 months
Most likely

If benchmarking confirms strong performance metrics, we expect a gradual adoption of the Bartlett Lake chip in upcoming laptop generations, enhancing Intel's competitive edge.

If things move faster

Benchmark results exceed expectations, rapidly escalating adoption rates among laptop manufacturers could result in a significant market share increase for Intel and innovations in mobile processing.

If the signal weakens

Poor benchmarking results could cast doubt on the chip’s capabilities, leading to reduced orders and potential delays in its rollout across new products.
