Intel's newer design that will come for the Surface Neo and such are also nightmares.
1 big core (from the regular Core architecture lineup) + 4 little cores (Atom), how the hell did they even want to make that?

I'm guessing the idea was adopted from ARM since they have had mixed-core chips for years now: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ARM_big.LITTLE https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ARM_big.LITTLE Probably the best known line of devices that use them is Samsung's Galaxy S series of smartphones.
