Nice, good old times Pentium is single core again Core i3 to i7 - all dual core But you have several atom cores so you can run your stuff on them, while windows update taking the main ones.

I would assume the E cores would be running things like Windows Update while you continue to work on mostly the P cores. A general rule is that interactive apps should be scheduled to the fastest cores.
