I wish there was at least a switch to allow the CPU to report the proper CPUID on each core and ideally, also keep AVX512 enabled. You could have a bios setting writing to an MSR. But I guess some idiot gamer somewhere might still enable this setting without understanding a word of the warning it's accompanied by and Intel wants to avoid that.
But I'm hopeful this is a stop-gap solution and we'll just make the p-cores more power efficient under medium load, and merely have the OS clock them lower when something is determined a background task. Then we "only" have to get that part to become smart enough.
- esperent 4y agoSuch a condescending comment. Why should this "idiot gamer", who might be a child, be expected to know about this stuff?
- userbinator 4y agoWhy should children be expected to not learn anything the hard way?
- iforgotpassword 4y agoYes, an attempt at sarcastically describing Intels train of thought was made. But really, why would a child change random bios settings anyway? You can easily render your system unbootable by changing random things there. Better make knifes illegal before an unsupervised toddler hurts themselves?
- zaptrem 4y agoThat's how they learn! I'm forever grateful for all the times I accidentally bricked my PC and had to work my way out of it.
