Power plan and Core usage

[SureshRU]

Hi Everyone,

Hope you are doing  great.

I will like to check whether is there any documents or information on the following:

Different Power Plans and Core Usage:

• Battery Saver Mode (for Intel i7 13th Gen processor):

  • How many cores are active in this state  and how many are inactive to maximize battery savings?

• Balanced Mode (for the same processor):

  • How many cores are active to maintain this state?
  • When handling heavy workloads, how many cores are allocated to effectively balance the load and optimize performance?

• Best Performance Mode (for the same processor):

  • since the term best performance , believe all core must be in use. but it will be good if there is some article or breakdown
