Is there a reason AMD won't fix the core parking issue with the 7950X3D for us?

Hi,

I wondered if there is a reason why AMD don't build in a fix to the core parking issue that is locking out a 20% performance increase and instead forcing us to mess around with bios, get process lasso and that sort of stuff? I have tried the game bar fix, but when comparing (for example) someones performance with the same system on Cyberpunk at 1080p where he has disabled half of the cores and gets 150fps, whereas I am struggling to get 70 - it doesn't seem to work very well.

I am not trying to be harshly critical, but I just don't understand why AMD don't sort this for the consumer? I would use Ryzan Master but that doesn't work either...I will just say this out a loud here, I am mentally challenged so struggle with messing around with systems and am worries about messing something up in the bios.

I jumped ship from Intel which seems far more user friendly. Or may be it is just me.

Thank you.

Here's the thing, if you want a gaming processor get the single CCD 7800X3D or 9800X3D.

The 7900X3D/7950X3D are a compromise. They're for those who split their time between all-core production workloads and gaming on the same system. And because AMD won't make a dual-CCD dual-vCache processor (because there's no benefit from vCache on production workloads, and there's no benefit from having 12 or 16 gaming cores) you end up with this compromise chip that needs a little extra setup to be decent at both, and you  have the hassle of core parking for gaming workloads, and reduced boost frequency for production workloads.
