One aspect I've yet to see covered is how existing hardware doesn't seem to be designed for s0ix to work as intended anyway. For example, on mobile phones it used to be the case that the application processor wasn't actually the main processor of the phone, it was actually the baseband, and relatedly, this meant that the application processor could be shutdown and woken up when the phone received a text message or phone call. Similarly, modern arm processors have a big/little configuration where you can switch to the efficiency cores when the system is asleep. While I'm aware that at some point intel started offering efficiency cores, the vast majority of devices that run windows, AFAIK, don't have any way of being awake in sleep mode other that just leaving the CPU running with the screen off. Maybe s0ix will make more sense as big.LITTLE and other secondary CPU schemes become common, but today seems like it's just upsetting existing users for no apparent gain
