This is an upcoming line of chips from Intel but it's aimed at low-power devices. I read that the idea is a CPU with 8 Gracemont (Atom) cores, and no Golden Cove cores. There would be no hyperthreading.

I need a low-power Windows device to run a program from time to time and I'd love something in a format like the Mac mini and this may be an upcoming option.

I have one program that really runs poorly on macOS but even moreso on Apple Silicon. I could not get it to start up without graphical artifacts this morning (it happens on and off) and it runs my Intel systems pretty hot. So looking for a cool-running Windows solution. I'll keep my eyes out for one of these.

So, what program is it?
 
Fidelity Active Trader Pro. Ancient Windows Executable that runs on macOS via WINE so it's already slow on Intel Macs.
ATP seems to be still 32bit (!!!!) - not even fun an Windows 11 🤣😂😎 Completely disconnected from any platform or that this is MR - this seems really bad supported… time for a change… maybe?

My assets are with them so I don't have a choice.
