Fixing Intel i7 14700KF core scheduling in Control 2
This is just ridiculous. I'm running a top-of-the-line i7-14700KF, and it still chokes on physics fragments. It was a total disaster. During heavy destruction, the E-Cores hit a scheduling bottleneck—some cores were pegged at 100% while the P-Cores were just sitting there. This imbalance sent my frame rate diving from 110 FPS down to 45 FPS. I tried the 'High Performance' power plan in Windows, but the E-Core latency didn't budge because the underlying scheduling logic is just broken. It was beyond frustrating. I went into the BIOS, set the Load-Line Calibration to L2 mode, and nudged the VCCSA voltage to 1.25V. I also set the game process priority to 'Realtime' in Task Manager. Cinebench R23 multi-core scores went from 34200 to 35800, with temps between 78-84℃. I did get some annoying coil whine after the voltage tweak, but adjusting the offset from +0.02V to +0.01V killed the noise. P-Core clocks are now stable at 5.4-5.6GHz. I backed up the BIOS config using a system image tool. Core temps are holding at 78-84℃.
