Rules
-
Be civil. Uncivil language, slurs, and insults will result in a ban. If you can't say something respectfully, don't say it at all.

No Unoriginal Sources, Referral links or Paywalled Articles.

All posts must be related to Intel or Intel products.

Give competitors' recommendations only where appropriate. If a user asks for Intel only (i.e. i5-12600k vs i5-13400?) recommendations, do not reply with non-Intel recommendations. Commenting on a build pic saying they should have gone AMD/Nvidia is also inappropriate, don't be rude. Let people enjoy things.

CPU Cooling problems: Just like 95C is normal for Ryzen, 100C is normal for Intel CPUs in many workloads. If you're worried about CPU temperatures, please look at reviews for the laptop or CPU cooler you're using.

I doubt it achieves the same results as APO since APO works at a lower level
They do different things tho?
Edit: isn't APO about making the E cores work better and this just disabling them?
This can disable them yes but the main goal is to set apps running exclusively on P cores.
APO is just process lasso with tuned rulesets.
You can achieve similar boosts by setting R6 siege and metro exodus to have exclusive access to the P cores while relagating background tasks to the e cores.
Thats why only two games are supported right now, because it takes a lot of testing to make sure the game actually benefits from this kind of optimisation, cyberpunk 2077 for example will run worse if prioritised the same way due to it being optimised well to utilise the e cores for better fps.
We haven't yet seen benchmarks comparing APO with process lasso (at least I didn't see any so far) but no they're not the same, in theory APO should be more efficient given it has a specific driver and BIOS setting to do what it does.
That's what I meant by lower level. And I assume APO is doing something more than just splitting cores, hardware unboxed mentioned using only one e core from each section or something like that for better cache usage.
