1) Does this limit also contains the iGPU? A bit of mixed GPU/CPU workload (some video game, I guess) would be more than useful, then.
2) Does Geekbench use all SIMD units? I remember them being power hogs.
3) Why not a more reliable (open-source and compiled from source) benchmark? There are a lot of choices, I personally like using image/video processing stuff like ImageMagick, vips, darktable and encoders like x264/x265/aom.
- wtallis 3y agoAMD's iGPU is on the same power rail as the CPU cores, and the same throttling mechanisms apply to iGPU power consumption. Intel puts their iGPU on a separate power rail, but the chip's turbo power limits still apply. In both cases, the iGPU cannot draw as much power as the CPU cores so the limits have to be lowered quite a bit before they start affecting the GPU (unless you're running a workload that heavily uses both GPU and CPU).
