AMD "Low Power" CPU Core Type Patches Queued Ahead Of Linux 7.3
AMD has introduced a new low power CPU core type as an alternative to their standard performance cores and dense efficiency cores. The patches introducing this new core type are set to be mainlined with the upcoming Linux 7.3 kernel. This will allow for proper identification of the new low-power cores anticipated to be found on some AMD Zen 6 client platforms.

AMD "Low Power" CPU Core Type Patches Queued Ahead Of Linux 7.3 Written by Michael Larabel in AMD on 27 July 2026 at 06:35 AM EDT. Add A Comment Last month I wrote bout new AMD Linux patches introducing a new "low power" CPU core type as an alternative to their standard performance cores and dense efficiency cores. That work now is poised to land with the upcoming Linux 7.3 kernel. The patches introducing TOPO_CPU_TYPE_LOW_POWER as AMD's new third core type complementing performance and efficiency cores are set to be mainlined with Linux 7.3. Important timing ahead of next-generation AMD Ryzen platforms debuting. This code allows for proper identification of those new low-power cores anticipated to be found on some AMD Zen 6 client platforms.
