The A12X/A12Z already has 4 big cores (and 4 little cores, and 7-8 GPU cores). I imagine the A14X will follow this pattern, but the cores will be 2 generations newer, with 2 generations of performance-per-watt improvements.

Rumors indicate all high-power cores.

Heterogenous cores are a pretty huge advantage.
