Your CPU is underperforming as expected. The 12450HX can reach up to 4.4GHz, but after installing Intel XTU and running a stress test, it's capped at around 4.2GHz with temperatures between 87-90°C. Consider checking cooling or thermal paste if the heat is an issue.
I understand the situation clearly. Performance typically peaks on a few cores rather than all at once, especially under heavy load. Stress testing usually reveals that all cores operate at lower speeds. A 4.2ghz across all cores at 87-90°C is quite solid. What aspect would you like assistance with?
Nothing appears damaged or faulty. The CPU is functioning precisely as intended. Take a deep breath—Intel's Turbo Boost Frequency is only active on one or two cores temporarily. This typically happens during gaming, not during extended tasks like stress testing or video rendering. If you play certain games, you might notice it reaching up to 4.4ghz occasionally. The RTX 2080 Super generally outperforms the RTX 4060 in most games, though the difference is usually minor—just a few frames. The RTX 4060 offers superior DLSS support and better ray tracing capabilities. It also consumes significantly less power. The 2080 Super draws around 250 watts, whereas the 4060 uses between 110-120 watts. Choosing between them comes down to budget considerations.
