Noob question here: Doesn't the Tegra X1 have 4xCortex-A57 + 4xCortex-A53? Why isn't the A53 quadcores used for the OS?

Yes from what I understand its a big+little chip, so it has 4 big cores, and 4 weak cores.

I dont understand why nintendo didnt just make use of say 1 or 2 of the weak cores for the OS, so they could have more CPU for gameing, with a extra BIG core for that.

Bare in mind the system just came out. Later on, the OS will likely be moved to the smaller cores in updates.
Hopefully we can see a 30% improvement in CPU performance and a 10 - 20% improvement in RAM usage.
