Intel’s Alder Lake big.little CPU design, tested: It’s a barn burner
“Intel’s Alder Lake CPUs are an enormous improvement over their 11th-generation predecessors in every way—they offer both higher raw performance and higher performance-per-watt. They also handily trounce the AMD competition in both the Core i9/Ryzen 9 and Core i5/Ryzen 5 brackets—single-threaded, multithreaded, and just about any way you care to slice it.”

Intel 12th Gen Core Alder Lake Performance Review: Chipzilla Is Back
“These new chips put Intel back into the fight up and down its desktop CPU stack, regardless of workload. New 12th Gen Core CPUs are also priced competitively (at least in terms of MSRP), and the technology offered by this new Intel desktop PC platform is currently unmatched.”

Stuff I bookmarked recently. Some off topic, some not:

    Has anyone seen an online comparison of Start11, StartAllBack, and Start Is Back?
    StartAllBack works better, but, Start11 looks better…

    Eric a friend of mine told me this:
    Stardock apps are notorious for breaking things, I would steer clear of them if I were you.
    Also, another friend who was Former Windows MVP, told me:
    it can break other functionality like windows updates in simple terms. I am not saying it would but it has a slight chance
