Hi, bought i9-12900 about 2 months ago and recently noticed strange CPU utilization. 5th and 7th P-cores are seems to do all the work (and they are hotter than others up to ~10-15 C during gaming, in idle temps are ~28-30 C). I thought first that this is just how stuff was paralleled (because in benchmarks cores are 100% loaded and temps are pretty much equal on all cores ), but after a while decided to make some experiments.
Reference cpu utilization in TW: Warhammer 3 (Batttle benchmark)
[Sorry, due some reason cant insert iamge]
All cores enabled
First of all I disabled 5th and 7th P-core and launched TW: Warhammer 3 - and cpu utilization was near perfect. All P-cores seems to have pretty much the same load
5 and 7 P-core disabled
After that I enabled back P-cores and disabled E-cores and 5 and 7 core loaded as before
E-cores disabled
Is this behavior normal and I am just dumb and try to find problem when it does not exist?
