I have a CPU with 8 P and 4 E cores but I have disabled the E cores in the BIOS.

Wouldn’t it be nice if the test controller, cutechess or whatever, could manage to ensure that each matched game pair was carried out on either P core or E core. Then it doesn’t really matter about the core performance, since they’ll be balanced, and that’s all we need. Balance.
