This seems to be fake, probably pinned manually. If I create 8 threads on my Ryzen, it still distributes them over all logical cores. It only looks like it is trying to avoid SMT core, but the spikes are all over the place.
Edit: This is what it looks like with 8 Prime95 threads for me:
![]()
This is because you are using high performance mode. Don't do that. You need core parking enabled to park those logical cores when they do more harm than good.
