Out of curiosity I watched an 8k video on youtube and saw 30% CPU usage on the 12700. That's much higher than I was expecting, wonder what previous gen CPUs get if anyone has a system and wants to try the same video?

P-Core 6 is brimmed here :D

Interesting that whilst the RTX is 30% utilised too, the CPU plays a big factor which I guess that's the load on the browser in the most part during 8K playback.

My 6700K certainly would frameskip all over that lol. Setting the stream to 4k is just 3% CPU usage.

Edit*

I just wanted to check what cores are used during gaming so fired up Cyberpunk and it looks like games do indeed use the E-Cores, or at least Thread Director will make use of them in gaming when no other app needs to do stuff in the BG:

I hope I get the cash back after spending over 500 on this board another 599 For the cpu .is there a time limit on this?
 
Yeah on the Asus cashback page it said how long the claim period is so you have a window to make the claim before it's gone. You can check claim status too on the top right of the page if you have already submitted.
 
I'm running the 12600 IGPU and it takes the load of the CPU, same with the 3080, guess Turing need a little help from the CPU.

Interesting, yours shows some dropped frames there but cool seeing the core usage there, basically no HT threads being used although I wonder how much Thread Director factors in different things running in the BG too based on what threads it allocates to stuff like this on different systems.

Compact and cool!
I got the 64GB RAM installed yesterday, no issues to note. Same timings as the 32GB kit so didn't really change anything other than the voltage which when at 1.35 was being shown as 1.34, not much I know but I upped it to 1.36 and it's now reported at 1.35 so... yeah quirky :p
