So experiment and stupid idea I guess, anyone or developers here know if there is a way I can force cinebench to run only on the efficiency cores? I just want to see the performance of the efficiency cores alone just for fun.
Got a tip for us?

Not sure if this is possible, even the limitation of cpu clock. to prevent heat the cpu change mostly cores with some tasks.
In some applications a user can only select number of cores he want use. Like boinc or the stockfish chess engine.
(apples chess engine lost against stockfish, no sign of machine learning)
I don't think apple has some api that allow to manipulate the core and clock management. But i haven't read apple´s xcode documentation and are not a programmer.
On some intel machines people used turbo boost switcher to turn off/on turbo mode. This was the only thing i can remember.
