As an aside to the great content of the article, I really want to say, how refreshing it is to open a web page without 700 prompts and videos bombarding me. The page loaded before my browser were open.

If I remember right, the newer SoCs, especially on the newer Zen 3 core, are not that much more power efficient until they're being pushed to their limits. When the cpu isnt the bottleneck the two cores are similar.
