I found a weird bug on my Zephyrus S17.
The CPU (i7 11800H) always seem to have the 8-core-boost as the highest possible clock speed and never uses the 1- or 2-Core-Boost speed.
For example: default is:
4,6GHz 1-Core-Turbo
4,2GHz 8-Core-Turbo
In every benchmark (Even cinebench Single Core test) the CPU ALWAYS have the (lower) 8-Core-Boost and NEVER reaches the 4,6Ghz in anything.
After many hours of testing HWInfo shows "highest clock speed" is 4,2Ghz on all 8 cores, not one core had the 4,6Ghz.
I even tried lowering clocks in XTU (1 core Turbo was 3,5GHz, all other cores 3,0 GHz). No matter what I did, all cores were rock solid @3,0GHz, not one core boosted to the 3,5GHz...
So, this seems to be a bug. With overclocking activated in the BIOS (version 311) HWInfo shows max clock is 5GHz, but I never got above the 4,6GHz.
With my last Notebooks it always worked (i7 3615QM, i7 6700HQ and i7 8750H), i Just checked it today: With every single core stress test the boost is active but not with the Zephyrus. Anybody can help?
