- detaro 7y agoReally the only benefit of that is energy efficiency if it is used correctly, in exchange for additional cost or lower max performance. Makes sense for a smartphone, less so for a mains powered device (and the Raspberry Pi SoCs originally were designed for set-top boxes, although I don't know if that's still true for the new ones or if they're custom)
- monery 7y agoenergy efficiency also leads to higher sustained clock speeds if your not using a fan to move air over a heatsink
