Otimize I9 performance in Widows for LLM AIs

I just bought a I9 13900K Unlocked, to be the manager of LLM AI workloads mainly handled by GPUs from another company.  I want to keep every thing that is not focused on the AI workload off the mind of the I9 as much as possible.  The sad thing is Windows has a bunch of tasks and services that insist on their turns on the CPU every now and then.  For example, I don't care about and therefore do not want the I9 involved in painting the time on the desktop (I have plenty of clocks around here).  In fact, when I'm doing hard core AI activities, I'd be happy with an EGA text screen handled exlusively by the I9's integrated graphics so all these NVIDIA Web Helper, Share,  ShadowPlay, and Container services would go away entirely - the focus must be purely on CUDA processing.

In the common interest of everyone in the world (because that's how much electricity and importance LLM AIs have these days) if Intel would write software that presented one and only one efficiency core that ALL of Windows could only see UNLESS explicitly allowed to particularly important tasks.  Further, that this core had only a tiny sliver of Level 2 and Level 3 cache, and it was only able to initiate memory actions on an extremely low priority basis.

I belive there is another 10% compute power out there at essentially zero cost by limiting what Windows is allowed to do with the vast bulk of processing on the I9.
