globalc, Let's take a task like "uncompressing a file".
It's clear that a Raspi is uncompressing slower than a new and shiny Thinkpad.. but the Thinkpad also uses much more power. Who is more energy efficient?The article compares the energy efficiency of ARM/x86/RISC-V/AppleSilicon. The created framework can be used to easily compare energy efficiency of other tasks, i.e. kernel compilation.
AppleSilicon with #asahi #fedora remix shines for the uncompress task I looked at.
