Emulating a heterogenous system, like an ARM Processor with P and E Cores

I'm trying to emulate a processor which consists processor cores with different max frequencies per core, like ARM processors or newer Intel processors which have a couple of Performance Cores and Efficiency Cores.

I tried it with Qemu, but I only didn't get far, the only thing I found was qemu-system-aarch64 where you can configure cores per die and die count using nema but i did't find a possibilty to change frequency or core architechture for a specific die. Is it even possible with qemu or is there a alternative? Preferably the emulation should be able to run linux.

For clarification, I'm trying to show that on a heterogeneus system i.e. a processor with different core speeds a certain framework works better then another one.

Thanks to Nate I found Intel Simics which is able to simulate heterogeneous systems.
