"The flagship "Bartlett Lake" Core 9 273PQE is also notable for its P-core-only design, featuring 12 performance cores and 24 threads. This sets it apart from Intel's more common hybrid desktop CPUs that combine performance and efficiency cores. It requires no work from Thread Director or the Windows 11 kernel to orchestrate the threads, which would significantly boost gaming performance. This uniqueness makes it appealing to enthusiasts, especially those curious about its performance compared to chips like the Core i9-13900K or Core i9-14900K. However, this setup is experimental. There is no official support, and in-app stability isn't guaranteed. Future BIOS updates might also complicate or prevent such modifications. Nonetheless, the successful Windows boot demonstrates that the primary obstacle was firmware-related, not a fundamental hardware incompatibility."
