Intel's idle power draw is like half of AMD's right now because their e-cores work better and the CPU governor is better. AMD has accused Microsoft of rigging Windows to better manage Intel e-cores, but that's easy to disprove because you can observe the same discrepancy in Linux.
People are saying the new all e-core Xeons will be a niche product for telecom companies, but these same people are also fretting over the future energy costs of big data centers. Lets see how much of "niche product" those Xeons are two years from now. They still have memory bandwidth and PCIe lanes for days, same as the regular Xeons |
