I'm not sure how failing to publicly document the DPTF specification is anything other than Intel's fault. The CPUs are not running in such a constrained configuration under Windows, for example, because Intel supply drivers to configure them appropriately.
- userbinator 4y agoWindows doesn't need DPTF either --- a quick search online shows just how many others are getting much better performance after applying NoDPTF.reg and similar fixes.
- mjg59 4y agoYou're being weirdly obtuse here. Yes, you can make hardware perform faster by running it outside its design limits. That doesn't mean it's a good idea in the general case, even if the tradeoffs make sense for you as an individual.
- userbinator 4y ago"design limits", more like "marketing limits". It's certainly a good idea if you realise just how much they're fleecing you.
- ladyanita22 4y agoExactly, the CPUs run much more loosely on Windows than on Linux. It shouldn't be too difficult to correct this...
- mjg59 4y ago> It shouldn't be too difficult to correct this... In the sense of "You can install thermald and it will be corrected", yes. In the sense of "The only reason this works on Linux is that I reverse engineered the Intel spec because Intel refuses to publish it", then I'd disagree with the characterisation that it shouldn't have been too difficult, because it was really pretty difficuly.
