This is why we need testing. I suspect that 4 e-cores will be able to do a bit better than 1 p-core, but only just. The rumor is that one e-core has the same performance as one old Core2 Conroe core, which would not be shabby. If this is true, then Intel might be on to something because a Core2Quad can Windows 11 smoothly all by itself. And with the new i5 you add 6 p-core on top of that and you have the potential for something really interesting. And with the i7 you double those 4 e-cores and add 8 p-cores, then you're talking potential for something game-changing, without breaking anyone's bank..I expect four E cores to be able to process more instructions per seconds than one P core, possibly at lower power consumption, while taking up the same chip area.
