Intel Unveils Meteor Lake Architecture: Intel 4 Heralds the Disaggregated Future of Mobile CPUs | Anandtech
I’m personally very interested in the “Low Power Island” and it’s efficiency cores for it’s efficiency cores.
S0 standby is pretty rough on high end high power laptops like my Thinkpad with it’s 11th gen i9. I sometimes have power drain higher in standby than just normally on. If Windows is smart it could turn off all cores but the E E-cores and maybe make modern standby not so much worse than S1-3 standby.
The Low Power Island also has DLVR finally, but sadly the rest of the CPU doesn’t.

2.5g capable SFP+ switch or media converters
Is anyone aware of any switches (or media converters) with SFP+ ports capable of negotiating 2.5Gbit speeds that don’t cost an arm and a leg? I have the Google Fiber 2 gig plan and I’d like to get rid of the fiber box since they’ve been extremely unreliable and our 4th one has just died. Unfortunately in order to get the full speeds I need something that can take a 2.5 gig SFP+ connection. 10 gig will not work, and 1 gig obviously only gets me half the speed. I’ve found a few Unifi compatible switches, [https://community.ui.com/questions/Google-Fiber-2g-directly-connected-to-my-Unifi-UDM-Pro-No-Google-router-required-/3d0fbad3-7041-4a1f-af18-79026884f8f0?page=2] but they’re between $600 and $900 which is just insane for all we need. Media converter wise everything I’ve found is 2.5gig on the rj45 side and 10 gig only on the SFP. Something has to exist out there right? It can’t only be Google who are the freaks using 2.5 gig SFP modules.
