Quote from: Enma45 on September 13, 2024, 19:50:23Intel P cores still run extremely hot unless you keep the clock speeds lower. It will take a whole different architecture (eg. E cores) to change that. If E cores keep getting higher IPC while maintaining conservative clocks, maximum TDP could be kept under 200W for a 100% E core design.
Didn't Gelsinger say he doesn't believe in P cores (presumably for future mainstream consumer chips)?
Intel's way out of this power/heat mess would be to improve E cores in order to rely on them for everything.
Ironically enough, we'd be back to having a single core type again.
