The proposal specifically states using logical cores, which handles
all of the CPUs you mentioned properly.
Intel CPUs with hyperthreading enabled report logical cores as double
the hardware cores. Depending on the version and configuration of the
Samsung Exynos Octa big.LITTLE CPUs, you will get

We already experience varying performance per core with current

I have a list of example use cases at

Each of these use cases involves a parallelizable algorithm that needs

GCD exposes core count in that you can make your jobs keep track of

The proposal does not assume anything regarding current system load.
If the UA is using every core for some CPU-intensive operation, then
