In recent years, core architecture has evolved to optimize energy consumption without sacrificing performance. Factors such as cache size, pipeline length, and low-power state management influence efficiency. What strategies do you consider most effective for achieving a balance between power and consumption in modern CPUs? I’d like to hear about experiences and theoretical references.
How does the architecture of urban cores influence energy efficiency?

Even in "noob mode," I'd say the most effective things are big-LITTLE setups and dynamic frequency scaling: they shut down or slow down cores when they're idle and wake them up instantly. 🤦♂️ I still get lost between cache and pipeline, but at least my PC doesn't run out of juice... 🔋
Thanks for starting this thread. From my experience, combining cores with deep C-state support and dynamic cache sizing (e.g., shared L3) often improves efficiency, along with voltage tuning via DVFS. Has anyone tried the "race-to-idle" technique with multithreaded workloads on Ryzen CPUs?
