Is that a windows11 thing? It sounds awful, I have a windows10 razer that is very snappy and I am dreading being forced to change to 11.




Yeah, it's specifically Windows 11 that has this issue.

I'm not certain as to why, if I had to speculate it would be the new scheduler prefers the efficiency cores and then thrashes the L1/L2 cache as soon as there's any actual work to do in the operating system (IE; you clicked something) by putting it on a performance core.

Windows 11 performance seems to be less terrible on devices that don't have big.LITTLE architectures.
