I really don't understand why such an in depth benchmark does not test thermal throttling. This would be much more interesting to me. I disable turbo boost and undervolt my CPU on every laptop because it really drives me nuts that when I'm compiling something suddenly I can't use my web browser because my CPU has clocked to 800 Mhz. I rather have a little longer compilation time and ensure my PC is still usable in that time.
- rbanffy 6y agoYou can always `nice -n 19` your background jobs. You still end up with an 800 MHz hot CPU, but at least it'll prioritize you
- jeffbee 6y agoNone of these parts have an 800MHz base clock. If you are encountering PROCHOT asserts with normal workloads you should get your money back and/or post on your blog until Intel forces whatever third-rate vendor made your laptop to refund you.
- rowanG077 6y agoI didn't check if it is PROCHOT or not. But two XPS 13 laptops and a Surface Pro I have owned downclocked below the base clock under heavy workloads. In fact even in this benchmark you can see frequent drops below the base frequency during compilation of the linux kernel. And that's with 0% load on the GPU. https://openbenchmarking.org/embed.php?i=2010162-FI-TIGERLAKE72&sha=fa1ab57d92cc&p=2 https://openbenchmarking.org/embed.php?i=2010162-FI-TIGERLAK...
