I've observed a problem in my setup that I'm not entirely sure is connected to a deeper problem or merely a result of Intel's new architecture. Occasionally, (about once or twice daily) when launching an application or file, the whole system will briefly freeze—mouse included—for half a second, then return to normal without further issues. Reopening the same program doesn't trigger this again, only during the initial execution. The Event Viewer doesn't display anything unusual. This behavior hasn't occurred on my previous 9900k system, but has appeared since upgrading to the 13700k. Is this typical? Could it be related to task switching between e-core and p-core? Have others noticed similar occurrences with newer Intel processors? I ran MemTest86 for two hours without any errors, so memory issues seem unlikely. Using Process Lasso to keep frequently used programs on either e-core or p-core helped somewhat, though it might just be coincidence given how infrequent the events were. System specifications: Windows 11 22H2, Z790 Aorus Master, i7-13700k with Intel boost settings, G.Skill Trident DDR5 6400, EVGA 3080ti, undervolted to 925mV, SoundBlaster AE-7, Samsung 970evo plus NVMe 500GB (boot), Samsung 970evo plus NVMe 2TB. The only changes since switching were the CPU, motherboard, and RAM. As a final option, I might explore BIOS settings to temporarily disable the p-cores and check if the issue persists. I prefer keeping certain software like Chrome, Discord, or RGB tools locked to the e-cores, ensuring p-cores remain available for gaming.
