I spent a few hours testing core parking to relise that core parking only works on Intel I3/I5/I7 CPUs, nothing else. The CPU has to be capable of it.

I still tried to do the changes in regedit to test, and there was no difference either way.

I did figure out a couple of things while testing that though.

With 4M 4C active (by setting afinity, so all 8 "cores" were on), turbo still works on the other cores. With 2M 4C active (same as before, by setting afinity with all 8 "cores" on), turbo does not work on the other cores.

2M 2C share 1 thread 80%/20%, while 1M 2C shares 1 thread 98%/2%.
