AMD might go for that IMO, they have the tech to "glue together a bunch of CPUs", to misquote Intel, they could feasibly make a low power and low perf CCX and pair it with a high power desktop CCX.
The problem will likely be support by the OS, to my knowledge Windows doesn't have anything on board to manage switching to what essentially amounts a low-perf/low-power NUMA node to save power. I don't think Linux has something on board either.
- Narishma 8y agoARM's big.LITTLE works fine on Linux.
- zaarn 8y agoIIRC it doesn't work natively on Linux, ie needs a blob to work...
- pertymcpert 8y agoReally? I thought was just the job of the Global Task Scheduler in the kernel.
