    Don’t a lot of CPUs like Snapdragons already have “performance cores” and “efficiency cores” that the kernel has to be able to recognize in order to switch between them? This sounds neat but I’m just curious what’s different between these situations.

      The only difference is the hardware. Intel has their own version that has been in the kernel for a long time. Amd has been struggling with landing the concept.
