When Intel s Efficiency Cores Cause Inefficiency: APO Benchmarks +30 Performance Tech Demo

Sponsor: Get 10 off Squarespace purchases We re benchmarking the Intel APO tool on Intel s new Core i914900K CPU. APO is compatible with the 14th Gen of Intel CPUs, including the i914900K and i714700K and KF models. This tech demo currently works on two games Metro: Exodus Rainbow Six: Siege and boosts performance by better scheduling the threads. We also found that APO reduces inefficiency within the CPU by, somewhat ironically, minimizing Ecore involvement in the processing of a heavy gaming workload. Although Ecores may be technically more efficient in their intended use case, like background tasks or lower intensity software, they can get in the way of applications that really just need access to highperforming cores (and maybe not even all of them).
