Will the base core count and mix between perf and efficient cores remain the same? That has lead to different scaling factors for the multicore performance than the single core metrics.
Possibly, at least compared to the previous M4 generation. For the lowest tier M models to this point:
M1 (any): 4P + 4E
M2 (any): 4P + 4E
M3 (any): 4P + 4E
M4 (iPad): 3P + 6E
M4 (Mac): 4P + 6E
M5 (iPad): 3P + 6E (claimed)
M5 (Mac): Unknown
It's worth noting there are often higher tier models that still don't earn the "Pro" moniker. E.g. there is a 4P + 8E variant of the iMac which is still marketed as just having a normal M4.
The die shrinks are less than the marketing numbers would make you believe, but the cores are getting significantly more complex. I think E cores had a 50% cache increase this generation, as an example.
The above summary also excludes the GPU, which seems to have gotten the most attention this generation (~+30%, even more in AI workloads).
