Slimy as hell. Really bad move here. Hopefully every gamer channel provides similar coverage and a legion of 12th and 13th gen owners will become aware of this and really push back against this (as the gentleman in the video also hopes).
I know reviews mentioned some wonky stuff going on with E-core and P-core scheduling on 12th gen, when I purchased 12600k and 12700k for two machines for my home.
I'm feeling foolish for approaching this in good faith and assuming that Intel/Microsoft/game developers would continue to iterate on the issues and make software-based optimizations readily available.
If I had realized, I would have AMD systems right now.
It's a very poor decision on their part to roll out APO in this way. If I was compelled to upgrade from 12th gen for more performance, this APO mess guarantees that I move my platforms to AMD.
Damn.
