"The flagship "Bartlett Lake" Core 9 273PQE is also notable for its P-core-only design, featuring 12 performance cores and 24 threads. This sets it apart from Intel's more common hybrid desktop CPUs that combine performance and efficiency cores. It requires no work from Thread Director or the Windows 11 kernel to orchestrate the threads, which would significantly boost gaming performance. This uniqueness makes it appealing to enthusiasts, especially those curious about its performance compared to chips like the Core i9-13900K or Core i9-14900K. However, this setup is experimental. There is no official support, and in-app stability isn't guaranteed. Future BIOS updates might also complicate or prevent such modifications. Nonetheless, the successful Windows boot demonstrates that the primary obstacle was firmware-related, not a fundamental hardware incompatibility."

So, if this chip is not intended for Windows 11, what is it intended for?
It's not about getting it to boot Windows, it's about getting it to boot on a consumer mainboard. They got a Barlett Lake chip to boot on an unsupported Z790 board. That's the news.
“Intel's OEM-only Bartlett Lake CPU modded to run on consumer Z790 motherboard beats AMD's Ryzen 9 9900X3D in Cinebench multi-core test — Core 9 273QPE has 12 cores, 24 threads, and hits 5.4GHz”

I just installed Mint 22.3 on a Surface Pro 7+ last night...
