Please try not to take perceived criticism of Intel as a personal attack, and please don't accuse others of being partisan without stopping to consider whether the bias you perceive is present in the comment itself or only in your reading of it. Jeffbee's comment can be reasonably read as simply pointing out the futility of asking for all cores to be identical: the existence of minor but measurable variations between nominally identical cores is the unavoidable reality that undermines any attempt to insist on complete symmetry between cores on the same chip. This fact is not an attack on Intel; it applies just as much to chips made by AMD, and nobody tried to present this as a unique downside for Intel, and jeffbee doesn't seem to actually be asking for the idealized chip that can be optimally managed by the simplest schedulers.
