For starters, the CPU core configuration has been much simplified compared to earlier years. The quad-tier layout of large, medium, and small cores is replaced with a basic two-tier design with two Prime cores and six Performance cores. This is a lot more Apple-like approach, and it also avoids using little cores for background function.
