WTF Intel, quantity over quality?

This looks like a normal amount of SKUs for intel in  a generation. It also doesn't really cost much extra to make all these skus as there using the same die, just with slightly different clocks.

Yeah this looks like par for the course for Intel. 

 

Just cherry picking Alder Lake, for example:

as it turns out, there's a very wide choice of formfactors, which could each do with a series of CPU's adjusted just for that formfactor.

I mean, this is what OEMs want so they can hit a wide variety of price points.

Intel releases far more than the handful of SKUs enthusiasts buy every generation.
