I also just got a 7700X. I didn't like the idea of E-cores. Can games and/or Windows schedule it properly without weak cores slowing down my game? I want all my cores to be powerful. Is probably a dumb reason but call me old-fashioned. And yes of course the power consumption.

Power consumption is so high because i7's got all the P cores running full tilt AND there's the E cores at 100% too. It won't slow you down. E cores are meant to help lift the load off the P cores, not bother them. And about the task scheduling: there's a downside to that, in that it only works on Windows 11. RIP.
