Interesting. This is clearly a big CPU change if so. I wonder why no E cores. I’m sure E cores would be more efficient at OS tasks than the new performance cores.

For example, 6 super, 8 performance, and 4 efficiency.



Another commenter stated the P cores can be scaled down to be E cores dynamically, so why not?


I wonder if they'll get to good enough scaling from E to Super where they don't really need to distinguish anymore?


There's still a difference when it comes to die size and transistor counts dedicated between the two core types.


P cores would take up more die space.
