The processor fails to reach enhanced performance levels.
Your i7-10700K is hitting its peak performance only when all cores work together, but due to uneven workloads or thermal throttling, each core caps around 4.7 GHz. The overall system speed ends up limited by the slowest component. CPU temperatures are normal, and after extended use the benchmark peaks at a high load, suggesting the issue lies in core synchronization or thermal management.
At the standard options, enabling C states might be necessary for Intel Turbo Boost to function properly. Apply ThrottleStop 9.5 to track the CPU multiplier. Execute its TS Bench test and configure it to run a single thread. Capture a screenshot of ThrottleStop during that single-thread evaluation. Disable other monitoring applications that could affect maximum performance. Excessive background processes can also disrupt optimal settings. Intel 10th Gen CPUs often exceed expectations in this regard.
