Seems like the winning formula is to have some performance cores and some efficiency cores, but not too many and only 2 kinds. Meanwhile Qualcomm and Snapdragon mobile processors have 3-4 different kinds of cores and a third more of them in total. No wonder android phones with much larger batteries are getting so much worse battery life. And what’s funny is they end up being slower despite all that because their performance cores are forced to be clocked lower to make up for the higher power density, and most things on a phone won’t take advantage of those extra cores.
