That's not "weak". If you look at available die-shot analyses, the E-cores are tiny compared to the P-cores, they take up a lot less than half in area and even less in power. P-cores are really only useful for the rare pure single-threaded workload, but E-cores will win otherwise.
- kllrnohj 2y agoWe're not comparing to Intel's P cores but AMDs cores. 8 of AMDs cores fit in 70.6mm2 on a high performance process, and take up a fraction of that space on a high density process (see the 192 core Zen 5c chips)
