Nice find, I hope it works as stated.

AFAIK this is for Intel multicore CPUs and not for AMD. I'll have to look into this more. Running an AMD 1100T Thuban Black edition myself (6 core)

I have an i7-4770 with Win7 and mine have never showed parked in the first place. I'm guessing it's because I've disabled all of the C-States settings in the BIOS, in addition to all of the power saving features in Windows.

The C-states and core parking are not the same thing …

[Durant Carlyle]

I thought the C-States were how the CPU reacted when receiving the park instruction from the OS. If I'm wrong, I'm wrong. Please explain how it's REALLY done.

Huh: I'm still searching for the quote I''m thinking of, but I found this for you: http://www.overclock...-good-or-bad/10

Core parking is enabled by default in all recent editions of Windows. If you have a modern PC, chances are you are utilizing core parking right now! Core parking simply disables unused cores to reduce energy use and heat dissipation. This page delves into the details, performance implications of core parking, and tells you how to disable it for specific power profiles. The fact that it can be disabled, or tuned, for specific power profiles means, for example, you could disable it for the 'High Performance' profile, but leave parking enabled for other power profiles.

looks like intell processors have the biggest gains
