had a Ryzen laptop that was really good, except it did not have the thermal capacity to maintain a workload, and would throttle itself all the way down to 600Mhz
something something NBLK-WAX9X.
I don’t think it’s the processor, I suspect you either have a configuration issue, or a thermal budget limitation.
i have no idea what it is. I have tried everything.
It was actually a midrange HP provided by my school when I went back to college. Super sucked trying to build a virtual Windows domain while in a zoom class and waiting forever while it struggled with the sustained workload and kept thermal throttling lower and lower and lower…

I’m not sure what to tell you on Linux since I’ve never had good luck monitoring throttling on processors on Linux, but I was just watching it in Task Manager (again, school laptop) and saw the integrated graphics temperatures get pretty high (>90C) then the CPU start throttling down lower and lower until I either gave up or it got down to ~600Mhz

no i was actually referencing a laptop I had that did just that.

Yeah, I’m starting to believe it’s thermal throttling too. Perhaps watch -n1 sensors in one terminal window and watch -n.1"grep \"^[c]pu MHz\" /proc/cpuinfo" in another?
UPDATE (putting this in a separate reply so you’ll see it): So I just dusted the laptop again, it actually performs somewhat well, turns out my first pass where I also changed the thermal paste didn’t get all the dust.
EDIT: This probably won’t hold, I’ve been seeing some γαμάτα deals for newer ThinkPads here lately.

Hey glad to hear it! The longer any computer can have a useful life the better!
