It is clear that Cyberpunk 2077 is a video game that demands a lot from our computers, but not only from our graphics cards. CD Projekt’s RPG also puts our CPU cores on the ropes. If you are an Intel user, yes, the Polish team wants to make things easier for you, and they do so through the new title patch, which improves the performance of the game.Generations 12, 13 and 14 through an essential change: specific options for hybrid processors.
Cyberpunk 2077 adds options for hybrid CPUs
Unlike what happens with AMD, the new generations of Intel use two types of cores. Calleds E-Cores (for Efficient) and P-Cores (for Performance), these cores have different power, and until now the game didn’t let you choose what to prioritize. Patch 2.11 adds hybrid CPU utilization options, circumventing this issue.
You won’t have to think too hard if you want to use this option, since CDPR only gives you two configurations, the usual automatic one, which lets the operating system decide which cores to use) or the prioritize P-Cores for better performance, prioritizing the cores that can give you the most performance.
An option with potential, but many problems
Even so, There are problems, and Tom’s Hardware has decided to test this configuration with disastrous results. According to the Anglo-Saxon media, if it works correctly it would be a step forward to take better advantage of hybrid processors, but currently it creates lots of micro hangs that ruin the gaming experience. At the moment, you shouldn’t use it, but an upcoming patch may allow you to get the most performance possible out of your CPU.
