Does it require 6 core enabled or is 6 cores native with downcore allowed?

it needs to be a physical 6 core (so no unlocking cores) Though to achieve higher clocks you can disable cores if needed, unless specifically stated

Is the below rule specifically stating all six cores must be enabled, or is disabling acceptable? 

• Use 6 processor core(s) in total.

 

Same reply as above. 6 core physical cpu, if you want to disable to get higher clocks all good. But no no 8 core with cores disabled... Unless stated like with superpi stated where no disabling is allowed
