Would this have the same effect as disabling E cores?
Would this have the same effect as disabling E cores?
Disabling E cores would likely only ever hurt performance or have no effect. That’s because this apparently works by automatically adjusting thread affinities to boost performance. Essentially Intel profiles a game, determine the optimal thread affinities for maximum performance, and releases a profile.
The reason this is needed is because in a game you have a lot of threads working in concert with each other to achieve the goal of rendering a frame to the screen and a generic thread optimizer doesn’t know that the thread it just put on the e-core is what the main thread is waiting for to pass instructions to the GPU.
For some games, this sort of thread affinity strategy will not boost performance.
AMD could probably do something like this for the 7950X3D and we’d likely see the discrepancy between it and the 7800X3D disappear.
You get better performance with APO than you can get with either E-Cores disabled or E-Cores enabled without APO.
It seems to be actually game specific optimisations, putting certain threads on certain cores, instead of just a basic
0xFFFFaffinity mask (which is the mask for only P-Cores).Man i consider myself decently versed in computer hardware but have no idea what you just said other than E cores lol
Computer stuff can get pretty detailed. At the extreme you could write a 100 page PhD dissertation on a specific area.
Or you could shitpost on reddit and get your doctorate THAT way.
100 pages for a PhD dissertation.
Your literature review alone will probably be double that.
I’m sure this will make it to 12/13th gen eventually.
Given the low perf increase, it’s more likely Intel will purposely use this to push 14th gen as an ‘upgrade.’
only 4 comments. yall really have a hard time saying anything nice about intel nvidia.
Imagine being so emotionally invested in the 2 companies with dominant marketshare in their respective product segment. So much so that that you think they aren’t getting enough mindless praise on some dying subreddit.
People like you won’t ever be happy unless everybody is using what you personally like.
Imagine being so emotionally invested
man it’s literally just some thread-affinity shit but people have to pretend that it’s somehow CERTAIN DISASTER just because AMD made an oopsie recently.
Far from that guy being emotionally invested it’s rather the opposite and some people are just very devoted to inventing issues where none need exist.
And what exactly does it do? It “optimizes” how?
I wonder what new class of security vulnerabilities this enables, by coaxing the scheduler to do things in a different order? Probably some side-channel attacks available here.
It offers impressive boosts to frame rates in games that support it, like Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siege and Metro Exodus.
It’s the only two games that support it.
Such a simple optimization that one wonders whether devs were asleep in lieu of performing this on their own! Wow.
More than 1% over the 13th gen?
Title makes it seem like it’s the entire 14th gen family…
Only I7 / I9 AND only certain games have implemented the feature.
