Linux and Windows will use the new CPUID flag (Fn0x80000026, EBX bits 31:28) value 2 to identify Low Power (LP) cores and treat them as a separate core class from existing Performance and Efficiency cores. The patch notes that boost scaling for LP cores will follow the same method AMD already uses for Efficiency cores, so schedulers can prioritize LP cores for minimal-power background and idle work while keeping Zen 6c and full Zen 6 cores for higher-performance tasks.
