I would be surprised if any downscaling takes place. I run some heavy computation software from time to time and compare the performance to other computers. Many of them in datacenters. I would probably notice if a machine suddenly downscales. That said, I would be happy to measure it and post the results. Running the computations now. According to "top" it saturates 2 of my 8 CPUs. So far, "lscpu" reports the CPU at 1600 MHz. "sensors" reports the CPU Temperature is slowly rising. Was 48°C at IDLE. Is 50°C now. 15 minutes later. CPU temp was raising so slow that I stopped it now. Don't think it will get to anything critical ever. It was at 52°C. CPU speed was still at 1600MHz.
