Thank you for your feedback and for sharing an alternative method using the “chcpu” command to disable and enable CPUs.

It’s great to have multiple options for achieving the same result. Your suggestion provides another useful approach for managing CPU cores in Ubuntu systems.

Thank you for this blog!

As an alternative, you can also use the command “chcpu“.

Disable CPUs:

# chcpu -d 1,4

Enable CPUs:

# chcpu -e 2-4

Thank you for your feedback! Disabling CPU cores can help reduce power consumption and heat generation, which can be beneficial for overall system efficiency.

While YouTube viewing may not require much processing power, disabling cores can still contribute to a cooler system and potentially optimize performance.

Nowadays we use computers only for YouTube viewing. I think it doesn’t require much processing power. So will it be helpful?
