Question about Disable E-core on DELL Precision 3660

[jena]

Hi all,

I was wondering if there is any user report whether E-core of i7-12700K on DELL Precision 3660 can be disabled in DELL BIOS.
Because there are research software that we use that doesn't support E-core, but we still want 12th gen and 8C/16T of P core.

Thanks!

Multi Core Support - Active Cores
I saw this initially but doesn't trust that this option would allow to disable E-core.
Because in the similar Alienware Aurora R13 with 12th gen (different motherboard), the manual states that

Multiple Atom cores
	Multiple Atom cores	Allows you to configure Multiple Atom cores. Default: All

It doesn't look like you can choose the discrete core number, only the total used. So it's probably best to ask Dell directly.

It doesn't look like you can choose the discrete core number, only the total used.

CpuCore = CoresAll
Multiple Atom Cores = 0 (only possible if CpuCore = CoresAll)
