During the course of our testing, we observed that Windows 11 was scheduling workloads on the 9700X in a manner that would try to saturate a single core first, by placing workloads on each of its logical threads.

so, basically, the os isn't tuned for the new chips yet.

the 2nd threads on smt-enabled cores are supposed to get hit last.

It's an easy fix, sure.

But there are 3 manufacturers for them to schedule for. It should be ready way before anything ships.

Actually, yeah, probably. CPU scheduling isn't the shiny new thing, nor something that gets that sweet, sweet monthly recurring revenue. So, it doesn't get prioritized.
