Windows 10: Windows Core OS runs on Intel Lakefield CPU in alleged Benchmark

Microsoft is working on Windows Core OS and Windows Lite version of its Windows operating system for dual-screen and 2-in-1 devices – aimed at rivalling Google’s Chromebooks.

We recently spotted a benchmark of Windows Core OS on Geekbench with an unknown Intel processor. The benchmark is based on a Geekbench 5 test and it appears to have been tested on a virtual machine called “Microsoft Corporation Virtual Machine” running Windows Core OS.

This suggests that Microsoft is testing the operating system in virtual machines and the timing is certainly interesting as we’re less than seven days away from Microsoft’s Surface hardware event.

According to a new finding, Geekbench listing shows Windows Core OS running a mysterious Intel Lakefield processor.

The Geekbench listing points to Penta-core processor and GenuineIntel Family 6 Model 138. Twitter user InstLatX64 claims that the processor is actually based on Intel’s Lakefield, which has 4 MB of L3 cache and 4 Tremont + 1 Sunny Cove.

Intel’s Lakefield is an interesting processor and it has more than one type of CPU core to create a better rounded-performing system. It’s a hybrid processor with integrated memory and even I/O interface.

While this suggests that the Redmond firm is at the later stages of testing Windows Core OS, it’s entirely possible that the Benchmark has been spoofed, so take this news with a pinch of salt for now.

Windows 10 not utilizing processor cores properly

Your most recent log file shows that Intel Turbo Boost is working correctly so something has changed. You either changed a setting in Windows or you changed a setting in the bios. During the TS Benchmark, ThrottleStop reports that the multiplier is spending
a lot of time in the 19 to 20 range (2527 MHz - 2660 MHz). This is completely normal for a Core i7-720QM during a single threaded benchmark.

It is impossible for a Core i7-720QM to continuously use the 21 multiplier. While the benchmark is running, there are typically 500 to 1000 active threads running on a Windows 10 computer that need to be scheduled on a regular basis. The way this works
is that each task, including the benchmark, only gets to use a specific core for a very small amount of time before it gets kicked off that core and has to get back in line and wait for the next available core. The benchmark you are running might end up back
on the same core but if that core is busy, the benchmark will be scheduled on a completely different core. Windows background tasks will need to wake up additional cores on a regular basis and this will instantly lower your maximum multiplier.

Compare the percentage of time that your CPU is spending in the C0 state when idle to my CPU. Every time I install Windows or a new program, I make sure that my computer continues to run as efficiently as possible. When a computer is idle, cores should
be spending as much time as possible in C6 or C7 and as little time as possible in C0. If you want the multiplier to go a little higher, you need to keep eliminating useless background processes. Look in the Task Manager to see what is keeping your cores
active.

ThrottleStop uses high performance timers within the CPU and a monitoring method recommended by Intel. The multiplier data is second to none. The Task Manager graph(s) are OK but they are not as accurate and are not as quick to respond to rapid multiplier
changes.

Now you need to fix your cooling system. If a core is hitting 97°C during a single thread of the TS Bench test, your CPU is running too hot. You need to disassemble your laptop and give the heatsink a thorough cleaning. If this does not lower your temperatures
then you might need to remove the heatsink and replace the thermal paste between the CPU and the heatsink.

Edit - When your computer is lightly loaded, it is normal for the multiplier to drop down to the low single digits. As soon as your CPU has a task to perform like the TS Bench, the CPU goes into full turbo boost and the multiplier instantly increases. This
is a mobile CPU. It is designed to deliver great performance while consuming as little power as possible.
