The Intel Bartlett Lake flagship CPU may have additional P cores, but they do not bring any noticeable improvements in gaming. PC Games Hardware Demonstrate Core 9 273PQE 12-P-Core CPU's Capabilities in Games Against 8+16 Core i9 13900K; CPUs Tie in Most Gaming Benchmarks Perhaps the reason for not releasing any 10 or 12-P-Core only CPU is the lackluster performance uplift the Intel Bartlett Lake P-core-only CPUs bring to the table when compared against Intel's 8-P-core CPUs from the consumer-segment Raptor Lake and Raptor Lake Refresh families. We were all hyped up to see someone booting up his system with […]

While everyone wants faster hardware, Intel says the answer lies in software optimization, and the P and E cores are almost identical in gaming performance. Robert Hallock Says E-Cores Don't Degrade Gaming Performance and PC Enthusiasts are "Underestimating" the Importance of Software Intel might not have been able to deliver X3D-equivalent performance in gaming with its latest Core Ultra 200 series, but it has gotten closer with the Plus variants. While still noticeably behind when it comes to the leading gaming performance, Intel blames this regression more on the "software" optimization than the hardware itself. In an interview with PC […]
