    I read the words hybrid cpu 5 times and still thought this was something about hybrid graphics.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:

    Intel Low Power Mode Daemon v0.0.4 has been released with “LPMD” being the open-source daemon for optimize active idle power for modern Core hybrid CPUs under Linux that sport a combination of the E and P cores.

    The Intel LPMD selects the most power efficient CPUs based on the detected CPU topology or a user configuration file.

    Then based on system utilization and other hints it will put the system into a low-power mode when applicable by engaging the most power efficient CPU cores and disabling the higher power/performance cores when not needed.

    This Low Power Mode Daemon so far hasn’t been too commonly used by Linux distributions or popular with Intel Linux users, but alas still in its early days and only today crossing the v0.0.4 milestone.

    With the support for multiple low-power states, Intel LPMD can define multiple states based on EPP / EPB / ITMT settings, IRQ migration, and task migration.

    I’ve been meaning to run some Intel LPMD power/performance impact benchmarks and now with this new release is a great time to do so.

    The original article contains 250 words, the summary contains 178 words. Saved 29%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!

      I gotta be honest: it’s deeply frustrating and dismaying that Intel is tied up with Israel, but the fact remains that, as technical professionals, it is literally impossible to avoid Intel, because enterprise customers don’t really care about that BDS list. Ignoring technical innovations from Intel - one of the leading CPU manufacturers since CPUs became a thing - is only going to kneecap your own knowledge and expertise.

      Ah shoot, I wasn’t aware posts about them were a no-go, specially since this is a useful tool for people that already have hardware from them, it isn’t any sort of news about “hey buy our new product” or something like it.

      Why cant someone post about intel? Thats like saying you shouldnt post about nestle. Bad company but when the news is completely neutral why does it matter?
