Question 13900K scores lower using Ultimate Performance Power Plan than Balanced in Timespy CPU test

[Amused]

I'm curious if this is normal.

The difference in 500-700 points lower in CPU score (graphics core unchanged within margin of error). Pretty significant.

Yes, it is normal. A lot of parameters - like preferred core, all the new boost technologies Intel has, Thread Director, etc. work best only when you have the power plan (in control panel, not Windows->Settings->System->Power & Battery->Power Mode) set to Balanced. This is true for AMD Systems starting with Zen 3 as well.

Ah, OK. That makes sense.

Win 11 you want your control panel edit power plan to balanced. Then go to windows settings and go to the power setting and there you set it to best performance. You have to change it in both areas correctly to get the best performance out of win 11. That is what I was told at hardforum.com

Is this true just on WIN11 or also WIN10?

And I imagine it does not apply if you have a static manual all core overclock and e-cores disabled?

I am not sure about win 10. But this is for win 11.
