I expect the same. Prior approaches to mixing architectures in one system and actually moving applications at runtime dynamically, as in big.LITTLE, were either far too complex to target or far too inefficient (1). I also don't see a technological enabler here, that would change anything about either.
(1) - I can only imagine it with a virtualized ISA ala IBM. Still - even they didn't do that. The capabilities only exist in separation: eg. IBM TIMI allows to move applications across physical processor ISAs, while various clustered virtualization implementations can move live VMs across distinct hosts.
- pertymcpert 10y agobit.LITTLE isn't a mixing of architectures, it's a mixing of micro-architectures. And the fact that big.LITTLE designs are commonly used now, and even Apple adopting their own version of it in their latest SoC is a validation of its benefits.
