Based on the second video, this appears to be a typical CPU limitation. The 12.6GHz combined with DDR4 can face issues in certain situations. Frequent lows at 1% and 0.1% usually indicate CPU constraints. Noticing significant freezes during data loading suggests a storage concern rather than the CPU itself. Also, confirming whether the SSD uses SATA or NVMe could help clarify the cause.
It might be the CPU issue. Storage seems unlikely—your device uses an SSD with PCIe Gen 4 and NVMe technology. Check the Amazon link for more details.
Enable core monitoring in Afterburner to track every CPU core's activity. It's surprising that neither the CPU nor GPU is fully utilizing their capacity. The GPU remains around 70%, while it should be near 100%. Meanwhile, the CPU stays stuck at just 20%, suggesting only a handful of cores are being used effectively.
You've combined all cores into Afterburner. Your setup shows 6 P-cores with hyper-threading and 4 E-cores without it, totaling 16 CPUs. The top 12 should reflect the hyper-threaded P cores, while the lower 4 might not be fully used. The video you shared gives a full view of all processors. Core utilization can vary due to hyper-threading, but low usage may also stem from other factors. Stuttering improved in the video but remains an issue during gameplay, especially when holding a phone. It disappears in a vehicle, which is helpful to note.
