Got this for the 8 P-cores at a reasonable price. Works fine with either Windows 10/11. Tried both. Haven't actually noticed any thread scheduling or performance issues in Windows 10. And if you disable the effenciency cores (limited to some beta BIOS to some motherboard vendors) you can enable AVX-512 on those performance cores. It is a shame when Intel decide to remove such capability in future microcode update while the hardware is perfectly capable.
