You think e cores are only for synthetics? What if I show you 6p+6e or 6p+8e can defeat 8p in real world applications?

Well, applications are definitely getting optimized for 8C/16T as of late so it won't be all that surprising.

Hyper-threaded threads (hyper-threads?) can't match an actual core by design, after all.

However, I'm merely question the addition of 8+ E-Cores in Intel's high-end SKUs. I believe I explicitly mentioned that I can see the potential of integrating 4 to 8 E-Cores into a CPU.

What if I showed you Intel 12th 6p+6e was able to defeat amd's 8p in real world applications 2 years ago?

A quad-core or - at most - an octa-core cluster of E-Cores should be more than enough for handling 'mundane' background activity while the P-Cores are busy doing all the heavy-lifting.
