📰 AMD's new CPU core type just got unlocked on Linux before it was even announced
If you've ever poked around your computer or laptop's power plans, you'll know that your hardware can be fine-tuned to use as much or as little power as you'd like. Normally, you can choose between an emphasis on power and a focus on conserving energy. However, Intel has introduced a third option called the Low Power Efficient cores that saves battery on background tasks and idle states.
