Just curious. For example on the Exynos 8890 Samsung Galaxy S7 or S7 edge, we have 4x 2.3 GHz Mongoose and 4x 1.6 GHz Cortex-A53. The question is, what is lower clock speed for?

The 4 cores with the lower speeds are for easier tasks and the 4 with higher speeds are for more intensive tasks. In that way battery can be saved, as the cpu will never go too high for easy tasks as it's limited to in this case 1.6
Seeing that its an Intel processor under use, it is nothing but Intel's Enhanced SpeedStep Technology that is working under the hood. This is a dynamic clock frequency mechanism to conserve battery and reduce heat dissipation. A similar technology is used in AMD as well called as Cool'NQuiet.
Usually one is a European Version and the other is North American version.
