It halts when no tasks are assigned. Letting it keep increasing without limits isn't guaranteed; it's only permitted by design.
I understand it doesn't operate at 4.4ghz when I'm browsing the web.
When the C states are activated, Intel CPUs can spend more than 99% of their time in the low-power C7 mode even when idle. These cores remain disconnected from the internal clock, operating at 0 MHz and 0 Volts. It's perfectly fine for a CPU to run at full speed when tasks are available. Speed doesn't matter when nothing is being done. If there are no activities, the cores stay inactive. A high-performance CPU can still be efficient in terms of power use, heat generation, or longevity. The cores switch to the low-power C7 state automatically if this feature is turned on.
I finally got around to testing some stuff out and recording temps/watts. Here's what I got Temps and watts are maximum reached, monitored with Hwinfo i7 11700f With no voltage offset and stock power limit Cinebench R20 65 watts, 45c Score of 3350 @2.59ghz Cinebench R23 65 watts, 45c Score of 8650 @2.59ghz (Ryzen 1700x scores 8889) With no voltage offset and no power limit Cinebench R20 200 watts, 84c Score of 5396 @ 4.39ghz Cinebench R23 201 watts, 84c Score of 14024 @ 4.39ghz (ryzen 1700x get 8889) With voltage offset of -0.040v and no power limits Cinebench R20 188 watts 80c Score of 5402 @ 4.39ghz Cinebench R23 185 watts 81c Score of 13978 @ 4.39ghz (ryzen 1700x gets 8889) With voltage offset of -0.050v and no power limits Cinebench R20 176 watts, 76c Score of 5392 @ 4.39ghz Cinebench R23 179 watts, 76c Score of 13963 @ 4.39ghz (ryzen 1700x gets 8889)
