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.

This can disable them yes but the main goal is to set apps running exclusively on P cores.

I doubt it achieves the same results as APO since APO works at a lower level
