2c + 4c and 1c + 3c?
Is that a big.LITTLE approach for multitasking?
Kind of. The Zen 4c cores aren't really "LITTLE", in the sense that they provide the same performance at the same clock speed, and can only reach lower clocks. When all cores are running together clocks drop anyway, so it's not a big difference from having only Zen 4 cores.
It's not completely the same, and for high power desktop chips there will likely be a difference, but it's still nowhere near what Intel is doing with its P and E cores, and what ARM is doing in mobile.
Neat, thanks
