Overclocking was fun, but I'm also glad modern CPUs can precisely control clocks and voltages to make use of what used to be safety margin.

- SomeoneFromCA 3y agoYeah, today it is even more fun. I underclocked my alder lake, now it consumes 10% less power at 100% load.
- mmis1000 3y agoSome recent processor has even more ridiculous curve, you can even get 80% performance with half power usage. Or even 1/2 performance with 1/4 power. Recent amd/intel processor has the habit to push the frequency to heat envelope (in other word, overclocked to the extreme by default) instead of a proper frequency with sane power usage.
