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.

That it isn't really the case, the P cores and E cores are each given appropriate workloads as intended in every case I've seen on both windows 10 and 11. Also, I'm pretty sure they use less power at idle because the E cores can handle most background tasks. And when normalized to the same power consumption, the 13700k and 7700x have almost identical multi-core performance.
