I wish someone would release a CPU with a ton of E-cores, otherwise the idea makes no sense to me as a user of a workstation-class machine.

When I can get a CPU which is all P-cores and has significantly more cores than even the biggest P + E hybrid CPU then what's the point? But if they could give me, say, a hybrid CPU with double the number of cores compared to the biggest available P-only CPU - now we're talking! Alas, the market for such a thing is probably not big enough to be economical.



The power performance area tradeoff is 4 E cores fit in the space of one P core. Some newer laptops use Intel 2P+8E or 2P+4E.
