    Secondary, yes, but the push to claim “muh production line is more green” has probably improved that too.

    Embedded, low power stuff is quite common.

    Then again I’m no expert, they could very well still be power hogs

      Yeah, but it usually doesn’t downclock as aggressively, right? Or is that entirely dependent on the CPU scheduler?

        The scheduler can’t do anything if the hardware isn’t designed to. If the cpu can’t downclock when idle, it won’t, regardless of software
