> CPUs get more energy efficient at lower speeds.
intuitively i agree but how does this fall in line with the 'race to idle' concept?
would love to see some graphs with operations-per-watt for different cpu/arch.

So in this world more “efficient” task can be run on slower lower powered cores. Stuff that needs to happen as quick as possible is don’t on faster, higher powered cores.
When you can, you just turn off the bigger cores completely.
I don’t have benchmarks, but there must be some good power savings in it if ARM have built their BIG.little architecture around it, and Apple followed suit with their processors.
