But apps like factorio are extremely dynamic, so thats either going to be flakey or its going to spend a lot of time/energy bouncing the process between cores.

I wouldn't be too worried about this personally, as configuring the few really sensitive apps with ProcessLasso or Aniancy is pretty easy.




I don't think the average Factorio gamer is going to know that they should do this or how. They will just know that their new CPU which was supposed to have better gaming performance is doing very, very poorly.


You are talking about Factorio players who specifically bought an 3D-L3 CPU, I would guess awareness would pretty high, personally...

Factorio players don't necessarily know anything about computers. And you don't know if they bought this CPU or if it came with their fancy prebuilt.


I feel that with good statistics this could be done in the OS scheduler successfully. But it’s not my area of expertise.
