While ARM is certainly making a rather big deal over its "big-little" A7/A15 core combo, its partners may not be completely sold on the idea.

While the notion of combining a powerful core with a much smaller, low-power one will offer a certain amount of flexibility, it’s neither a particularly innovative approach, nor is it necessarily enough to threaten rival Intel as much as ARM probably hopes.
