One of the biggest changes that helped me was disabling CPPC and CPPC-PC. Windows is dumb, and if you tell it what the fastest cores are it will attempt to load them up... causing thread contention. So the best way for windows to address your cores is to load balance across all of them instead of loading up your fastest cores with your game - and all the garbage services.

Intel is smart enough to realize how stupid Windows is and made the Thread Director. AMD is still dependent on Windows thread scheduler and it generally does not work out in it's favor.
