All three groups use the maker Big role and retain their individual core names. No group is relabelled as an Intel efficiency core. Generic MediaTek infographic and product page specify Cortex-X925 up to 3.62 GHz, while exact Lenovo 83MY0000US PSREF and its platform table publish 3.63 GHz. Stored clocks are the Lenovo reference configuration claims, not measured clocks or a resolution of the chip-level discrepancy.
