      The article explains what it means. If there’s something about the explanation that you don’t understand, maybe you could ask specifically about that?

        The article didn’t really explain anything though. All it did was mention a couple types of processors that may benefit.

        Someone more knowledgeable can correct me, but the main idea is that pinning can dedicate (or pin) certain cores to a specific process such as a game to improve performance.

        Parking can dynamically disable cores not needed for the process, improving thermals and energy consumption.
