E cores make a significant difference to most common computer use cases.
The case where you have many lower workload tasks or system processes, and a few high workload tasks.
This allows for maximizing throughput for the majority of users, while also optimizing for silicon usage and power draw.
Perhaps for your use cases, E cores don’t benefit you, but there’s been over a decade of proof of the use of heterogenous cores across mobile, laptops and now desktops.
