These CPU's appear to be for a niche market, the semi-portable mobile workstation.

  Which shouldn’t be niche these days. What developer (for example) doesn’t sit 8h per day 98 days of 100 plugged into a wall socket and using external keyboard/screen? Seems it would be a more common laptop use case than actual mobile use.

    I take a train to a far away city sometimes (and I am due to take it more often from October on) and there isn't always a socket available, or I have to share it with someone else in turns (one socket for two or three people).

  Why? This exact class of powerful Intel chips were placed in MacBook Pros before the M1 and those were not exactly niche nor workstation class.

    No, HX class didn't even exist in the Intel Mac days. This is a 300W chip being heavily throttled down to <100W for 2-inch-thick "laptops".

    Those were “HK” in the 16 inch MBP. Intel never met a SKU it didn’t like.
