AMD’s far-flung Ryzen 8000 Series APUs will reportedly take a page out of ARM (big.LITTLE) and Intel’s (Alder Lake/Raptor Lake) playbooks by mixing high-performance cores and high-efficiency cores into a single product. The rumor stems from MoePC’s Venomancer Marvin, who claims that these processors (code named “Strix Point”) will be built on TSMC’s 3-nanometer process and feature eight “big” Zen 5 cores and four “little” cores. AMD is supposedly planning to launch its Ryzen 8000 Series APUs in 2024.

You aren't really asking for all that much.

Can I actually buy this without dealing with grey market shenanigans? That's what I always ask myself when I hear about AMD APUs these days.

talk about a long way in coming for big-little on x86

I recall there were rumors about AMD big-little cores since the cell chip came out on the PS3. I think they were supposedto be some sort of Bulldozer-TB combo derivative mix sort of. Also on Intel was rumored to be working on a core/atom combo.

I wonder why they haven't been released so far, specially on intel, given its focus on mobile in recent years.
