I understand that but surely there should be an option to stop it boosting within the OS without having to disable a feature in the BIOS?
As I am sat here right now, it’s boosting to 4.4GHz, I am on mains and it is less than 4% CPU usage.
Unplug mains, CPU speed is hovering at around 1.1GHz with the same utilisation and the temperatures are plummeting.
So what I am asking is, to be able to have the laptop perform as it is currently going on battery, but with the mains adaptor plugged in. Obviously if CPU load picks up I would expect it to increase speed/frequency appropriately but it just feels like an all round waste when web browsing or working on a very small spreadsheet
