I understand that perfectly. But how willing are you to sacrifice performance for that, is my point. There's a reason why CPU makers focus on building faster chips - that's what people care about most on Desktop PCs.
- Synaesthesia 5y agoYou don't need to sacrifice performance since CPUs step down automatically. For a hybrid design they only use the smaller cores for less demanding tasks. In fact this design gives a perceived increase in performamce as the author has written about.
- webmobdev 5y agoOfcourse you are sacrificing performance when you put slower cores alongside fast cores, instead of using all fast cores only. And for what - ARM cpu cores already are very efficient. So saving a few more watts with the slower cores, at the expense of performance (faster cores) isn't a worthwhile tradeoff when you are doing some cpu intensive task on your desktop. Saving a few extra watts matters on phones / tablets / laptops because you can use it longer on battery.
