Personally I don't really see a point in having a hybrid architecture like this unless it'll lead to massively increased core counts, and so far it doesn't look like it does. AMD still beats Intel in both core counts and power efficiency, and they're only using P cores so... what's the point of having E cores?
But maybe that's just because it's a first generation technology for Intel? I hope things improve in the future because I sure would love to have more cores available (currently rocking a 32 core Threadripper) and AMD is sure as hell not interested in actually pushing HEDT forward since they became the top dog. (I have a few grand burning a hole in my pocket waiting for a product they don't want to release.)
