Seems with the newer versions of BNG the arrow lake bug has been fixed and now utilizes all the cores (before it would just use the E-Cores)

Not really a higher score vs my 14900K even though the 285K handles large amounts of traffic so much better than the 14900K ever did.

Interesting Lunar Lake results (226v 16GB DDR5 8533)

Usually The best results happen when the vehicles match the cores/threads. In this case 8, however the results are better with MORE than 8 vehicles.
