Intel Core i9-13980HX using E-cores instead of P-cores | 8 tips to solve the issue

😎 How to fix the issue of Intel Hybrid architecture processors mainly using E-cores instead of P-cores.

List of 8 possible solutions to the issue of tasks/processes running with efficiency cores (E-cores) instead of performance cores (P-cores) in Intel Hybrid architecture processors, in particular, the Intel Core i9-13980HX processor.

I bought a laptop with an Intel Core i9-13980HX (Hybrid architecture P + E cores), and most of my critical tasks were running with efficiency cores (E-cores) instead of performance cores (P-cores). This issue was killing me to the point that I almost returned the computer 🤬. At this point, I found a solution that works most of the time. Hopefully, this will also help you. By the way, I am still facing problems with a few applications, but nothing critical.

FYI, this is the processor used in the ASUS ProArt Studiobook 16 OLED 2023, you can find two reviews at the following links,

If you are not in the mood to watch the whole video, the best solution is to run the tasks as administrator. To know more, jump to the 10:20 minute mark. 👈
