Question Intel i5-8500

[Crelokk]

Hi all,new here.
Just upgraded to a I5 8500 from a FX 8350 and as i had to unpark cores with the AMD core, do i have to use park control to do the same with the I5 8500?
Using WIN 10.
Thanks ahead.

It still does the same thing. If I recall it just makes CPU cores never sleep. Unparking them reduces latency a tiny bit when another parked core is tasked with something.

Not really. I think theres no point in Windows 10 to do this. (I could be wrong)

If I remember correctly unparking cores was most beneficial inWindows 7.

I have a feeling this is something game developers have taken care of themselves. Probably setting the cores to not sleep when they launch the game.

But with FX it was important in the early days of bulldozer (I think, might have the code names mixed up) Something to do with the way they changed the scheduler from piledriver, so that Windows wouldn't call it correctly. (To do with the core arrangement on FX chips, made it much worse for AMD) It was fixed in updates to Windows, but I recall a lot of gamers still recommending it at the time, even on Intel chips.

makes sence what you all are saying,i unparked them and in game there is know difference,so i went back to just performance setting in power options.Thank you.
