For competitive titles specifically, I’ve found that the real issue isn’t peak FPS—it’s frame time consistency, and that’s where E-core scheduling bites you. When you pin a game’s main thread to P-cores via Task Manager affinity (or Process Lasso’s profile system for finer control), you’re preventing Windows from occasionally migrating background-dependent threads onto the E-cores, which have significantly smaller L2/L3 cache and lower clocks. In games like Valorant, CS2, and Apex, I’ve seen micro-stutters correlate directly with the scheduler spilling telemetry or audio threads onto efficiency cores mid-match.
