    It’s not “because we’re not fiddling” with anything.

    It’s because Windows’ scheduler is objectively broken and not scheduling workloads correctly.

        It assigns workloads to the virtual core (from SMT) before properly distributing them to other cores. Source

        This is not an issue on Linux because they schedule threads correctly.

        But I guess this post is about windows only doing some other branch prediction correctly on some admin mode, so I guess that way too.
