I wonder, for CPUs, if Big-Little will become a desktop trend. It seems to offer the benefits of turbo to a greater degree. Create several more powerful cores and supplement them with smaller ones. I'm sure articles have been written on this.

It won't. Scaling on current desktop CPUs is good enough with the clock range and power gating to run at from 100+ watts at full load to a couple watts when idle. Power and cooling at a this low level is not a problem for a desktop computer. This is different in (ultra)portable space where tenths of a watt matter a lot, especially for devices running on battery (read: phones).
