Run `sudo watch -d -t -n1 thermal levels`.
When levels are above 100, your laptop will throttle. Once they return to 100, throttling will cease. There is a back-off algorithm at play too, so its not good enough that your CPU returns to normal temperature, it must stay at normal temperature for a period of time before things stop lagging.
Also, disable turbo boost.
- tomduncalf 5y agoThank you! Will try this out. Shame to have these issues on a £3k laptop but what can ya do lol. Waiting on the M1 Pro then I’ll swap it out!
