Hisilicon kirin 620 octa-core only ever using 4 cores even when cpu load is 100%

Hi,
I own a huawei honor 4x (che2-l11), in the uk, and it has a kirin 620 octa-core processor, where all 8 cores run up to 1.2ghz. Looking at the CPU information on antutu, it only ever showed 4 cores being active, cores 0,1,2 and 3, and never cores 4,5,6 and 7. Also, even though it showed them as 'sleep', it still shows they are operating at 99%. So, I installed CPU-Z, and it showed that cores 0,1,2 and 3 were on, and cores 4,5,6 and 7 were 'stopped'. So I started an antutu benchmark, and cores 4,5,6 and 7 still did not turn on, even when CPU load was 100%. Also, one week, it started giving me antutu scores of around 26000, not 31000. Is this a problem? Should I return the phone to amazon?

Hey!
Maybe you have a power saver on that doesn't let it run all the 8 cores? I don't think it's really a problem. You should look for a program like UnparkCPU or something similar to that. Maybe they are just asleep or just turned off, surf around in settings? I used the UnparkCPU on my AMD based PC and it worked fine then. Just make sure the battery won't drain extremely fast.
