Is this normal behavior for snapdragon 615?

So I bought Moto X Play. It's a nice phone and a good replacement for my Moto X (2013).

I installed CPU-Z and notice the the 8 cores are always active, even when the phone is just sitting there with the clocks at minimum. There is no cores disabled, ever. At least with the screen on.

Is this the normal behavior of the SoC?
