What is a "Performance core"?

What CPU do you have?

Do other applications perform better for you on Performance cores?

Starting with Intel gen 12 CPU, there are Performance + Efficient cores
i9-14900KF
8 Performance cores (16 threads) = 3.2 GHz
16 Efficient cores (16 threads) = 2.4 Ghz

Yes, the programs are performing better when I run them on Performance cores.
I am using Bitsum CoreDirector to force them.

Make sure Everything is not running.
From a BAT file, launch:

Code: Select all

start /affinity fff Everything.exe 
This should limit Everything to the first 12 (fff mask in hex) logical CPUs.
