It will be interesting to see how AMD deals with the hybrid cores and the core allocation problem, if they go with a hardware based one like Intel or rely on the Window's one like they used for their 7950 and 7900 X3D chips.

As for the Intel part... well, I guess there's still room for dual-core CPUs for really chip (office) computers.

It will be a lower degree of difficulty for AMD. Their C cores are the same architecture. The main difference is the reduced cache. Intel's are different architecture entirely from their P cores and lack hyper threading.

But, wouldn't the shared architecture make it more complicated? If both types of cores are virtually the same except for the cache, and maybe the clock speeds, how will the OS decide which cores run what?

Using the core frequency doesn't seem to be a valid option or Intel would have gone that way.
