Ryzen 9950X3D 16 Cores vs 8 Cores with 5 Games at 1440p
135 Games tested with Dual CCDs vs Single 3D CCDs on the Ryzen 9950X3D.
Disabling CCD1 leaving CCD0/3D cores active only does away with any need for software trickery like GameBar or Project Lasso.
But is it worth it?
The DUAL CCD profile is how every buyer would be running it, without any special BIOS tweaks to ensure any parking, just a normal motherboard with normal settings, using Gamebar in Windows.

With the Dual CCD's in use, the game bar app that AMD recommends keeping enabled and even the app Project Lasso cannot fully stop dual CCD communication fully,, some parked cores can still be activated by games, resulting in reduced performance at times...but does it mean you are losing a lot or a little, or any at all in these games I tested?
