Given that its become increasingly more common for CPUs to have both Performance & Efficency cores … how do benchmarks ensure they are only being run on the P-cores?
- sroussey 3y agoIt actually takes a bit of effort to run on the efficiency cores. I believe Game Mode will push the processes to e cores to keep a consistent game play without thermal throttling.

On Linux you could set the affinity when running by pinning the cpu affinity either upfront through task set or programmatically at runtime (eg I have 32 cores and 0-15 are performance while the rest are efficiency)
