Can we make a quad core processor in which two cores are based on x86-64 architecture and other two processors based on ARM architecture , so that we can shutdown the other two cores while using it for smart phone OS and turn them on while using desktop.

Can we make a quad core processor in which two cores are based on x86-64 architecture and other two processors based on ARM architecture , so that we can shutdown the other two cores while using it for smart phone OS and turn them on while using desktop OS. I want to use it for both smartphone and desktop.

Hello Prudhvikumar,

What such a fantasy idea! So excellent!

But I do not think that is a cost effective solution, even possible and feasible!

You know all mainstream processors today are based on discrete microarchitecture, in other words, front end and true computing engine are separated by various ways. So I think this problem could be further refined by providing two front ends for each processor core, one is for Intel 64, and the other could be supplemented by ARMv8 64-bit. Then there would be no computing resources wasted no matter working under Android or Windows. Intel might also extend the virtualisation, let those two different architectures could be utilised side by side under the same O/S environment. Great and excellent for your question. And I also expect Intel would put their effort to invent such a Tinker Bell to accompany with Peter Pans from all over the world for ever...

Best Regards,

Aaron Janagewen
