I think that if Intel wanted for this issue to go away once and for all, had to do 3 things
1. Loose 100-200MHz on single boost permanently.
2. Limit default max power limit way under 253W like 200-220W
3. Make TVB actually work and allow max speeds only under specific thermal and current(A) conditions.
I guess it all depends if you believe that all this was some kind of misconfiguration on Intel part or just that they pushed the silicon over its safe operating limits for making the products competitive and hope for the best.
Obviously I’m on the latter.
I understand that Intel can’t go and just chop off speeds and power all over the place. It will cause huge reactions and even legal moves from customers and not talking only about the individual end users.
IMO they are trying now with semi-measures to extend maybe a little more the longevity of CPUs and try to keep boost and performance the same.
Have the cake and eat it too
I apologize for the intrusion but had to say it.
Here's an example. It's only 16 threads, but my point is observing the actual effective clocks which are recorded by hwinfo64 through benchmate.
I noticed when effective clocks droop, so does the actual performance. If I'm making sense....
Perfect sense to me.
The performance of these highly dynamic chips (both Intel/AMD) is directly related with effective clock that contain all CPU states and not just the active one.
