The bigger problem is you need operating system support. Linux/android has it. iOS has it. If iOS has it there’s a very good chance that macOS has it (we’ll probably find out on Tuesday).

What does Windows support heterogeneous cores at all? I don’t think it does. And until that happens, would you be able to sell a chip to the public?



Surface ARM laptops have big.little so there must be some kind of support but I don't have any confidence that it's good. It will take MS a while to get it refined. People are probably better off disabling the little cores so threads don't slow down by getting accidentally scheduled on them.
