yep, for asymetirc cores it is all about software being able to use the cores.

We have a real catch 22 here. People can't take $100M to build a new processor wihtout sales. Sales takes SW and applications. Without Software, no speed up is shown. Making the software for asymetic cores can take $100M itself.

He ignores power, memory latency, and alot of variables in the equation but it is basically correct.

Good talk however.
