no small efficiency cores… really have to wonder what the battery life will be with this.
Then again, maybe simply running the large core at a lower speed will end up being the same efficiency as a small core? Qualcomm is also cutting down on small cores for the Gen 3…
At mid to high frequencies, the large (cortex 7xx) cores will have the efficiency advantage. At low frequencies, the small cores will sip battery. But, that’s the tradeoff between performance and battery life. If you want a good battery life, have fewer large cores. The snapdragon 625 wasn’t considered a battery champ for no reason. That thing could last long.
