Have reviewers tested the Ally with disabled cores? I haven't come across any, and I believe it's a significant oversight. The current reviews demonstrate the Ally losing to the Deck at 10W, but that's expected since the Ally has to distribute the same power limit across twice as many cores, resulting in slower individual core performance.
I'm confident that if the Ally were configured with 4 cores like the Deck, it would outperform the Deck at 10W. I urge any reviewers reading this to test and confirm or refute my suspicion. It would be valuable content and research that hasn't been covered by others yet.
