CPUCores Main Features

Allocate more CPU resources to your games!

Increased FPS

CPUCores allocates more of your CPU resources to the games and applications that you specify. This gives you more available processing power for enhanced gaming performance and higher frame rates.

Free up more available memory for Games

More Free Memory

By re-allocating memory from applications running in the background, and unloading memory from unused services, we can create more space for your Games to load resources faster and run more smoothly.

Automatically load your games from Steam

Steam Integration

CPUCores automatically detects all of your Steam games. It also automatically integrates with Steam's ability to launch a game. You simply have to run CPUCores from within Steam, select the Steam game you want to run optimally, then click the "START GAME" button within CPUCores.

Hardware Analyzer

Use this System and hardware analyzer to help CPUCores understand your system and make appropriate changes to enhance your gaming experience with intelligent CPU and memory optimization.

CPUCores does multiple things to optimize your OS

OS Optimization

To start, CPUCores will isolate your entire OS to your first core. Secondly, CPUCores examines and constrains key Windows services that are not essential and known to hog CPU resources. Third, CPUCores examines and isolates key Windows processes to ensure a perfect balance of CPU savings without starving key Windows processes.

What about Hyper-Threading?

As we all know, the majority of games will be slowed down when using hyperthreading. This is due to the fact that 1 normal core + 1 hyperthreaded core is effectively still 1 core. 2 normal cores offer twice the processing power as 1 core + 1 hyperthreaded core.

The CPUCores application is fully aware of Hyper-Threading. It intelligently detects and assigns your games to dedicated cores, and not hyperthreaded cores; thus giving your game maximum CPU power!

What Our Users Say

Windows Local Host was maxing out all the CPU's, I ran CPU cores, and it cleared it up. Thanks!
LUADIST
I couldn't believe the CPU resources my background processes were eating up, I used to have to end them manually, and now I can just hit a button when I launch my game. Amazing, thanks!
JOEY HICKS
My Cyberpunk 2077 went from 45 FPS to 68 FPS! This is absolutely insane. I've tried every optimization guide on YouTube and nothing came close to this. CPUCores is a game changer!
ALEX MARTINEZ
Finally! A software that actually works as advertised. My stuttering issues in Warzone are completely gone. Worth every penny and more. My friends are asking what I did to my PC!
SARAH CHEN
I was skeptical at first, but CPUCores delivered a 35% FPS boost in Apex Legends. My 5-year-old PC feels brand new. This software paid for itself in the first hour of gaming!
MIKE RODRIGUEZ
As a competitive gamer, every FPS matters. CPUCores gave me the edge I needed. Consistent 144+ FPS in Valorant now. My rank went from Gold to Diamond in 2 weeks!

Performance Disclaimer: FPS results and performance gains are based on the game, the settings of the game, and the hardware that the game is running on. In most cases, the best result for a specific game is used, and results will vary. Most of the data on FPS increases were reported by our community on Discord, otherwise they have been gathered by us through internal testing on a variety of hardware configurations.
