Re:Intel copying ARM’s big little is just stupid and should ... by phendrenad2 on Sunday November 14, 2021 @10:41PM (#29223415)
Getting major Dunning-Kreuger vibes here. SemiAccurate seems 100% convinced that big:little makes no sense in a laptop. And their evidence? "It's not a phone, milliwatts don't matter". Anyone with a little curiosity will immediately have a few followup questions. Is it true that big:little only saves a tiny amount of energy? Is it true that a tiny amount of energy savings in phones is significant enough to do this architecture? Why does the Apple M1 use different sized cores if big:little is such a "dumb" idea? Why does this article not mention M1 at all?

I'm not convinced.
