Suggestion: Option to Choose Which CPU Cores to Disable on 12th Gen Intel Processors / Hybrid CPU Layouts #222

Open scarsellifi opened 1 year ago

scarsellifi commented 1 year ago

Hello,

I would like to suggest the introduction of a feature that allows users to select which CPU cores to disable, particularly for the new 12th generation Intel processors.

The new Intel processors feature P-cores (Performance Cores) and E-cores (Efficiency Cores). Having the ability to choose which cores to disable could lead to more granular control over system performance and power efficiency.

For example, under conditions of maximum power savings, a user might want to only use the E-cores. This would allow for a degree of system operability while also reducing power consumption.

I believe this feature could be very beneficial for a wide range of users, especially those particularly interested in energy savings or detailed control over their system's performance.

Thank you for your time and for your wonderful cpufreq!

Best regards,

Marco

Agree with this: I own a 14700K and it have 12 E-Cores which are the last ones and, so, the first being disabled. I would like to disable the P-Cores and go with the E's when low load
