Fyi, .......

https://wccftech.com/microsoft-windows-11-w...us-performance/ - Microsoft Windows 11 Will Boost Intel Alder Lake (And Other big.LITTLE CPUs) Performance - 20 June 2021

The 12th-gen Intel Alder Lake x86 CPU coming this Fall is a hybrid CPU with a mix of high-performance(= power-hogging) Cores and energy-efficient(= power-saving) Cores (6+8 or 8+8), similar to Apple's M1 ARM CPU inside the latest Mac Mini, Macbooks, iMac and iPad.

It may be worthwhile for those who intend to buy mobile laptops to wait for the above since x86 > ARM wrt apps/programs/software/games, ie Intel Alder Lake hybrid CPU running Windows 11 for their battery-power-saving feature and good performance - not worth if buying AC-powered desktops.

bit of nit-picking: the big.LITTLE architecture is actually decade old of tech already, ARM is the inventor and been using on iphone and qualcomm chip since 2014.

it's always good to try new stuff since efficient cores helps a lot of battery life, for example when you browsing web on your phone, the battery does not drain and phone does not warm up because it's using the little cores, hopefully it will work for intel as well as windows 11.

Desktop will benefits too, when you're not gaming, rendering or photo editing, only efficient cores is running, it reduce noise and power consumption. heat reduced as well, it will prolong the hardware because your cpu is not dumping the wasted heat.

Energy-efficient and low-power-wattage/power-sipping, and BIG.little processors (= lower performance) were a requirement for battery-powered mobile smartphones and tablets = ARM architecture = RISC.
....... Not so for AC-powered immobile desktop computers, some of which are required to be very high-performance(= power-hogs), eg Cloud-servers, data-servers, AAA-gamers, video-editing, AAA-game development, 3D computer graphics, etc = x86 architecture = CISC. .......

https://www.androidauthority.com/arms-secre...cessing-409850/ - ARM’s secret recipe for power efficient processing
There are several different companies that design microprocessors. There is Intel, AMD, Imagination (MIPS), and Oracle (Sun SPARC) to name a few. However, none of these companies is known exclusively for their power efficiency. One company that does specialize in energy efficient processors is ARM. - Gary Sims - November 20, 2014

Because Apple has introduced ARM M1 processors for its Mac computers in Nov 2020, Intel and M$ are responding to the threat with the x86 Alder Lake processor and Windows 11 in Fall 2021.

The EU and US should sue M$ the Market-Monopolist for such anti-competition shenanigans in Windows 11.

Everyone should throw M$ out the Windows and adopt MacOS or ChromeOS or Linux or Android.

For casual home-users, it is possible for them to only use 4G LTE Android tablets in desktop mode, eg just for emails, web-surfing and music/video-streaming.
