   Intel presented more details on its upcoming 144 core server processors this week at the Hot Chips conference.

   That's an advance over AMD's current 128 core chips...
   
   ...except Intel's version uses efficiency cores - E cores - which run at roughly half the speed of full cores.
   
   The details of these E cores are at least interesting; they look a lot like the fastest high-end cores from just a few years ago.

     @Aether Can't actually design an efficient cpu core? Just make the P cores suck juice like a chip scale space heater till the E cores look like they're about to save a polar bear.
