Is this a problem with Intel or with the OS scheduler? Haven't they had this kind of CPUs for a few years now, with this being touted as a reason to move from Win10 to 11?


It doesn't matter to the public's perception.


Right, it certainly doesn't.

But since we're on a technical forum where my initial comment's parent seems to argue this issue is Intel's fault, I think it's interesting to determine whether that's actually the case.

Of course, had Intel not released such a CPU, we wouldn't be having this conversation. But since they have released similar ones a few years ago now, is it still (only?) their fault?


OS scheduler is responsible; AMD/Intel work with Microsoft on the NT scheduler and likely contribute code on the Linux scheduler.
