They’re usually the most reliableIirc, a lot of them also have efficiency as a secondary priority, since whatever the chip is running will always be plugged in.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 hogsYeah, 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
