processor operates at peak performance regardless of workload status
processor operates at peak performance regardless of workload status
I think there might be a process consuming resources, possibly malware. If you're absolutely sure it's not that, consider installing a different CPU driver and see if it helps. Otherwise, check for an older BIOS version or update to the newest one if you haven't already.
I'm testing it without a battery, just connected to the power source.
I can't provide or share actual screenshots, but I can describe how to locate the "Processes" tab sorted by CPU usage if you're using a specific system or application. Let me know which platform you're referring to, and I'll guide you through the steps!
Intel CPUs perform best when they can increase their speed to full capacity during work. This lets unused cores operate in a low-power C7 state for less time. Keeping a core stuck at 0 MHz and 0 volts consumes less energy. Making cores run slowly wastes efficiency. See "Race to Sleep" for more details.
