Depending on the specific workload, if the “slow” cores are more efficient per watt it may be preferable to have only a small number of “fast” cores for single-threaded applications and many slow cores. Or possibly vice versa if that’s not true. The M2 processor could be 4-big 64-LITTLE, or 16-big 8-LITTLE or some other combination.
