What is the function of cores 4, 5 and 7 on a i7-11800H? Thermal throttling and how to solve it.

Namaste! Hey there! Season's greetings. I hope you are doing great. I'll try to be brief.


Problem: Cores 4, 5, and 7 of my i7-11800H show as thermal throttling on my undervolted i7-11800H (BIOS tweaks like disabling turbo on those + Throttlestop).

Cores info from HWiNFOCores info from HWiNFO

 

Question: What do they specifically do? I was unable to find any useful information about it, and I've gotten to the point where I briefly browsed the results in their datasheets page, as well as these results and this file in particular. I might be able to find a solution by understanding what they do, and I am more than open to learning from your input.


Feel free to inquire additional information to better assist me.


Dhanyavad! Thank you very much, have an awesome day!

PS: I already did the basics like checking the thermal paste / etc., the other ones are not thermal throttling, and I think that the failsafe temp I modified (less than 89 degrees celsius) is achievable for basic tasks. If it serves for context, laptop is an MSI Sword 15 A11UD. Besides that, and as shown on the screenshot, I have lowered with Throttlestop the On Demand Clock modulation to reduce the possibility of more heat being generated.
