How M1 Macs feel faster than Intel models: it’s about QoS

For intel that would cause some serious thermal issues. The Four E cores in the M1 use about the same amount of power as one big core (5w total). In an Intel chip that would mean the four 'E' cores would use probably 10 watts each, that's 40 watts cooking a chip.

Intel does have a chip for you though, they have a version with mixed UlV cores and big cores.

Afaik, that isn't launching until 2021. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alder_Lake_(microprocessor) Or do you mean another CPU?
