The M1 is a hybrid 4+4 big.LITTLE SoC and it is the first of its kind that is competitive with the 8+0 pure big Intel and AMD chips.
The M1 has a .LITTLE side that gives it battery powered efficiencies comparable to tablets. This is a very balanced general purpose hybrid architecture. It will be interesting to see the technical strategies used in response.
