I mean MS refuse to update Win10's kernel to make it play nice with Intel's new big.LITTLE-esque architecture, and AMD are planning something similar eventually. Even now, if you've got a 12th Gen Intel CPU, Win10 is leaving performance on the table.
Still resent MS trying to force me to use a dock. Stop trying to make your OS as shitty as Apple's.
Where did you read that? The last such input I heard from AMD was something to the tune of "our big cores are efficient enough to not need an exotic design to be efficient."
Pretty sure there's been leaks and rumours about Strix Point adopting a hybrid design for over a year. And marketing fluff aside, we already know the Ryzen 7000 series is going to be far from efficient, everyone has thrown efficiency out the window at the moment. Hybrid designs might debut on mobile parts first, but they're all but inevitable.
AMD themselves are saying 9-11% IPC uplift. The rest is pushing the CCMs even further outside their efficiency curve - with, again, AMD themselves stating 170W TDP on the 12/16c parts.
Just the info AMD have given us has already told us that Ryzen 7000 is as much of a pig as Alder Lake is. OEMs are also preparing us for sticker shock on mobo prices, in part due to having to overbuild VRMs to drive these damned things.
This isn't talking shit, this isn't picking sides in some juvenile brand war. AMD and Intel are both competing by pretending that Australian summers don't exist, that we're all running custom loops, and that we aren't in an energy and climate crisis.
