DPC latency is way higher on Alder Lake/Raptor Lake compared to Intel's older monolithic designs, this is why Moore's Law had that DAW guy on talking about the latency issues with hybrid CPU designs. This is more of a problem with modern hybrid CPU designs, both AMD's chiplet and Intel's big/little design have tradeoffs that make them worse than traditional monolithic designs in latency sensitive applications. And this is why Nvidia is still holding on to dear life for monolithic dies, but the reality is eventually the computing demands will eventually outstrip minor quality of life issues with end user latency and everyone will have to give up on monolithic dies eventually and live with the imperfect world of having a complicated thread director try to guess what's the best way to breakup and assign a workload.
