Is the T239 CPU portion not just 8 Arm-78C cores?

Rather than a mix of X1, A78 and A55 as reported here

If true, the large X1 core is a welcome upgrade for games that are single threaded bound or bottlenecked but the addition of a A55 cluster is rather confusing. Kind of wished they had gone a more mediatek approach and went all mid cores + a big core with zero efficiency cores as they're generally quite useless for gaming on.
