Intel APO alternatives (alien.top)

Do you have any experience with Intel APO alternatives? This new one here, Core Director, is supposed to work with 12th and 13th gen Intel core CPU's. Would be interesting to see if this enhances gaming performance by limiting heavy workload threads to the p-cores (as it always should have been).

This has nothing to do with apo.

That's nothing like APO. APO actually uses ecores more, not less. For what? nobody knows unless Intel reveals what they do.

Yea, you don't want to push modern games to just the p-cores. Here's a pretty extreme example with Starfield that I found during testing. Check out the bottom result in the graph which is with e-cores disabled.

I tried Process Lasso with core parking disabled and "efficiency mode off" which leads to games actually using all the available P cores and E cores (many games still won't use E cores). Feels better in some games, but APO only seems to enable one E core per cluster, so maybe that is even better.

Thanks, that is good to know!
