    I’m torn on the concept of E-cores for servers. I understand the desire to be more green and power efficient, but given the parallel nature and large processing that occurs on servers would that be an efficient use with a partial configuration of slower threads.

    Regardless, people use what they’re given so I’m sure they’ll work it out.

      I daily an E-xeon for work. At home, I use an 8750h i7 laptop.

      When I open 3 Firefox windows, powershell, AD, 4 remote desktop Windows, and play YouTube my E-xeon shits it’s pants, smears it all over itself and lets me watch as it spikes to 100% utilization.

      My 8750h laptop plays helldivers2, YouTube(10 extra tabs as well), and compiles package manager updates. And helldivers never even skips a beat.

      My laptop is a 180watt laptop. My work machine uses easily 300watts.
