Ever since the first buggy launch, Cyberpunk 2077 has undergone a major overhaul. In the latest 2.11 patch, the game gets a new feature within the game settings called Prioritize P-Cores.
Cyberpunk 2077 Patch 2.11 Hybrid CPU Usage: Auto vs Prioritize P – Cores Tested on i5 13600k
With the new Cyberpunk 2077 2.11 patch, the Prioritize P-Core setting allows Intel processor owners to bypass all other forms of CPU scheduling done by the operating system. Below you will see how you can activate it through the in-game options.
With this, CPUs that have performance (P) cores and efficiency (E) cores as part of a hybrid performance architecture can potentially extract performance benefits. Intel 14th generation Raptor Lake Refresh desktop and laptop processors, along with processors going back to 12th generation Alder Lake, are built this way.
There are other ways to allocate specific cores to your game, but it's nice to see this feature as a dedicated option in the game settings for Cyberpunk 2077. I tested this new Prioritize P-Core setting after updating the game, which was a 9.2 GB patch on Steam.
