I've commented this previously but I think the major impact to these applications was that CPUs more effectively idle themselves and reduce the fan speeds. Previously there was no noticeable impact with the PC running 100% all the time. Now the fan will go crazy compared to sitting idle. Not to mention there are computers that basically can't run 100% without some sort of duty cycle to cool back down and they will thermally throttle.
- ac29 3y agoYou can use runtime power limits to put yourself pretty much anywhere on the performance-efficiency curve you want, within thermal limits. Reducing the power limit will reduce heat/fan noise and can improve perf/watt. On Linux, see: https://github.com/powercap/powercap https://github.com/powercap/powercap
