Possibly they were referring to this:

- nerdjon 2y agoThat is it! I remember something about the scheduler. Will need to do some more research and benchmarks on this personally and see if it is really much of an improvement or if the improvements are lost by any decrease in performance going from 10 to 11 (even on LTSC).
- arprocter 2y agoI'm not sure it would make a difference on a Steam Deck, as E and P cores are an Intel thing
- nerdjon 2y agoMost likely not, however I run LTSC on 4 different gaming setups. Steam Deck, Legion GO, and 2 desktops of various power for TV and desktop gaming. So I have a decent range of hardware to test these claims on.
- keyringlight 2y agoThe other aspect in the background is win10 is putting up a full screen warning about hitting EOL in Oct'25 while not giving older (~pre-2018) systems an official route to upgrade to anything supported besides buying a whole new system. For those that are content with the performance for desktop the scheduler doesn't really offer them anything. I'd love to see some form of OS survey in 2026 narrowed down to pre-2018 systems still online.
