Current APU power management is really bad. Drivers tries to max CPU power instead of GPU even when real CPU usage is below 10-15%. So 90% of energy is wasted on CPU that done nothing and GPU is starved to death with lowest possible clock. I looks like that:
CPU frequency 3300-3500 Mhz (or higher), real usage 5-10% and
GPU frequency 800-1000 MHz, real usage 99-100%
I understand that you can't fix bad AMD drivers. But you can allow us to disable 4 CPU cores in BIOS. If we disable 4 CPU cores then power usage of CPU will drop 50% and GPU will have much higher clocks on every TDP level. This will give us much better performance in games.

The option to disable cores has been available on Windows for a long time via msconfig.

Where I can find such app? Is it safe?
