I was trying to save some money by buying an intel 14700k but it has 8 performance cores and 12 eco cores and microsoft’s licensing seems confusing. Are they really going to charge me for the eco cores since I have 20 and the pricing is like 16 or something? I’m pretty confused. It’s just me and like 2-3 other people who are going to be remote desktopping into this thing so can I just use the “essentials” version and be done with it? I’m guessing they’re not expecting people to use non-xeon CPUs.
