Agreed. I've thought for quite a while that Apple should/could put multiple ARM processors in a laptop and turn them on/off depending on need and power supply.

Agreed. I've thought for quite a while that Apple should/could put multiple ARM processors in a laptop and turn them on/off depending on need and power supply. This is the best of both worlds, in my view. Doing lots of heavy computing (gaming, etc.)? Turn on all 6 ARM processors! Working from the library and remoting into your server? Only turn on 1 ARM processor.
I could even see being able to choose the number of processors when you buy the machine. Trying to save money? Get the single processor option. Need to compile Rust code daily? Get the 6 processor model. Or get a low end Mac Pro today and upgrade it tomorrow with processor cards. There are a lot of options when you control the complete system; Hardware, Firmware, and Software.
