    Which is better for efficiency: SMT or big.LITTLE? And why not both?

    Posted: 23 May 2021 09:40 AM PDT

    I thought one part of the reason SMT was invented was for efficiency, because even 'idle' cores still use a little bit of power, so you might as well get some extra performance out of them. And I'm pretty sure both SMT and big.LITTLE exist partly for performance and cost reasons. That a little core and an extra SMT thread can both add a fair amount of extra performance, almost as much as a single high performance core (like, about half) for like a quarter of the die space or less.

    My question is, why not combine the two? Why is Apple for example so confident that big.LITTLE designs are that much better innately?

    Also, isn't SMT fairly big and important for servers? I heard that it enabled some sort of latency reduction or something.
