It may have been interesting, but I had to work on a Japanese PC-like machine that used one of those ... god was this computer slow.

- sp332 4y agoThere was a scandal where thermal throttling was a big issue. I dont remember if this was a problem from Transmeta or a particular laptop manufacturer, but the CPU could only run at full speed for short bursts.
- brucehoult 4y agoFive years later (if that!) this was expected behaviour on any x86 laptop! My original Macbook Air ran its Core2Duo at the rated 1.6 GHz for about 5 seconds before dropping to 1.2 GHz. Thirty seconds later it dropped to 1.0 GHz, and a couple of minutes later to 800 MHz where it could run all day. In 2019 I had at the same time two machines with i7-8650U CPU: a NUC and a Thinkpad X1 Carbon. The NUC could build riscv-gnu-toolchain (which I did many times a day, as I was helping develop new RISC-V instructions) in 20 minutes with mild throttling (to 3.2 GHz) while the Thinkpad took over 30 minutes with extreme throttling.
