This afternoon I downloaded CALL OF DUTY via Steam, but I felt very slow to use the PC during the download, then I saw that the CPU consumption was atypical, and when I looked at the graphics I was a little confused. Is this behavior normal? Use only 4 cores at 100% and the rest oscillate? I know it's a somewhat atypical question, but I wanted your opinion.

your 12700 have 8 p cores (16threads) and 4 e cores (4 threads),.
see graphs,. those last 4 graphs are 4 e cores,.

it mean ,. this work carry by E-Cores ,. and your p-cores carry forground works,.
if you click current task ,. that task use p-cores mostly,.
you can manually switch cores with taskmanager (set affinity) or you can use process lasso,.

personally i dont like those methods ,.
so i edited my balanced powerplan ,.heterogeneous policy 4 to heterogeneous policy 0 ,. which forcefully use all cores with hyperthreading,. and this method give best 1% and 0.1% lows in games
