Well, guess my next build in 5-10 years won't be using AMD. Shame, cause my current rig is doing just fine even with parts that were already a year or two out of date when I got them
Intel and Qualcomm are integrating it, too.
Best choice would probably to upgrade to the last processor that doesn't have it and hope it lasts long enough for this shit to die.
Sucks because Alder Lake is such a garbage CPU with P (Pussy) cores. I was really hoping to get a generation or two with AMD on DDR5. Maybe I will splurge on upcoming Threadripper if they don't have Pluton.
I meant E cores. The E cores do harm performance in Linux and OpenBSD because their schedulers don't know the difference between P and E cores right now. Especially in games: https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=alderlake-p-e&num=2 But the real comparison is 10 P cores vs 8P/8E since the 8 E cores take up the space of 2 P cores. I'd rather have 10 P cores than rely on the scheduler to choose the right core.
