    I am curious how Meteor Lake’s chiplets are going to avoid the idle power penalty.

    The lower power island, the SoC tile with 2 e-cores allows Intel to turn off silicon on the big compute chip.

      Allows, but how well does the big compute chip stay off? Given the typical OS background noise and web browsers/pages that suck 37 CPUs on the way through the parking lot to process a stream of mouse events.
