Why should I "park" certain cores? If performance is needed, all cores should be available, if no performance is needed, then not all cores are used anyway.

Sounds like another Bitsum "innovation" with no real-word data on their site showing that an average Joe will benefit from this software, except for articles like "we knew it", "we know how to make it right", and "windows can't make it".

Using CPUID's HW Monitor software you can observe each core's speed and temperature in real time. Watching speed, core voltage, temp., etc. change while launching and using various apps it soon becomes apparent that Intel cpus are cleverly designed to enable, clock-boost, or park their various cores very efficiently in response to the demands of the software. It's difficult to imagine how today's giveaway can improve upon that. I suppose if you just love tinkering with every single aspect of your computer then this might appeal, but I can't see any practical use for it at all, can you?

The following may help you understand more about today's download:-

If you are an XP user and have Process Lasso on your machine, do |NOT allow it to be updated as the latest version will not run in XP and the update stops it working at all.
There is now a free version that runs in XP that is available for download, for 32-bit systems:-

If you can spare the time, there really is an awful lot of information packed onto the ParkControl web page. One thing to note is that mileage can vary depending on your hardware. 2nd, core parking is something that, unless you turn it off, Windows will do -- the product page has a link to testing by XtremeHardware showing performance gains with core parking off.

Now whether you turn core parking off or not is up to you. If you buy a PC, laptop, or other Windows device, it will be set up to be more energy efficient & quiet. If you build your own PC, components like the motherboard & CPU, & graphics card if you use one, are usually set by default the same way. When you're running off a battery, most devices switch to more aggressive power savings. Yet every device should be designed to operate just fine at full throttle, so the only way you can get into trouble is if the design is faulty, e.g. you built a PC & didn't include enough cooling. And you'll likely have to put up with more fan noise, if or as things start heating up, while holding a laptop or tablet might become uncomfortable.

Assuming you opt to go the power savings route, ParkControl &/or Process Lasso can make things more efficient, and that can mean a more responsive, better performing Windows device. Hacks &/or tweaks happen because designers & engineers are not perfect, and one size does not fit all. The way Windows manages CPU core parking is imperfect, & it's calibrated for biz users, where overall power savings are deemed more important than performance. ParkControl & Process Lasso are tweaks to fix the imperfect part, while letting you tailor the degree of performance to what you want/need.
