Does anyone know the state of linux scheduling and efficiency cores? It is my understanding that part of what makes the Apple experience smooth is tight control over what processes get pinned to performance cores and enforcing background jobs remain as such.
For example, the Gnome indexer, tracker-miner, should only ever be allocated to background status.
- schaefer 3y agoAMD doesn't have efficiency cores (yet). on the X86 side, only intel does (for now).
- beebeepka 3y agoThe AMD effecincy cores are just regular cores with a lot less cache, no? This is what Zen 4c is

- goosedragons 3y agoNo, that's only on 3D models and they're not efficiency cores, they're just cores without access to the extra cache. They're actually clocked higher.
