Please take an important note all tests were ran at 4.8GHz and with TSX-FA!
The 2c/4t is a very unrealistic scenario, the video is mainly focused on how well each thread setting is scaled. Mitigations are also disabled.
The Audio in the video only comes from the 6c/12t, read below for more info.

I also forgot the existence of "lower spu thread priority" setting, there might be a chance some games could had slightly better performance w/ 2c4t or 4c/4t

2c4t & 4c4t - Preferred SPU Threads set to 1. The game kept crashing, it was too annoying to get ingame and any more footage. TSX-FA seems to be the culprit for these crashes, sorry for not re-recording without TSX
