There's nothing wrong with E-cores though, their bad reputation is quite undeserved. They pack a lot of compute in tiny area and power constraints compared to P-cores. They're probably not the optimal choice for a single-thread workload, but that's an entirely different matter.

- eigenspace 10mo agoTheir bad reputation is fully deserved, it's just also out of date. Reputations are almost always about first impressions, and the first impression with E-cores was bad. They've done a lot to fix the situation though, and they do indeed run pretty well nowadays if you have a more modern Intel CPU. That said, manually disabling AVX-512 on P-cores just so I can have E-cores is still a *bad* tradeoff as far as I'm concerned, but I get that my use-cases aren't everyone's use-cases.
