Well, I’m not sure how familiar you are with the P-Core, E-Core and Thread Director stuff, but these SKUs (up to the i5-12500) don’t have the Thread Director or the E-Cores, so they’re basically just “normal” CPUs.
I would be surprised if there would be kernel issues with this configuration, since there isn’t all of the extra stuff to manage.
As such, it sounds like something is getting screwed up here as well, since the idea would be for utilization to increase. If there’s something that’s useful for profiling, I can always run it on my end.
