Maybe there is an argument that games are a waste of energy, but I would prefer maximum performance for my games, makes them more enjoyable, or on the margin, playable in the first place. Low power states make sense when you're not actually trying to use all the performance.
- dagmx 4y agoNot all games or applications will use up all your resources so lower power states make sense to save energy and reduce thermals as well. Alternatively , a game/app might trigger boosts that can’t be sustained, or some instructions like AVX that are intensive that require dropping thermals to sustain. Power state switching is very common and a very interesting space to dial in.
