Thinking about picking one of these up locally to test it against my XPS 13 9360 to see how it fairs as a comparison.. The less battery life...
If it makes any of you feel better I picked up a loaded 2014 Macbook Pro 13" with Intel Iris graphics and it throttles as well.. just not as...
Gotcha but I dont think the CPU is flexed much in 3dmark.. I guess I would like to see if the CPU under 100% load throttles like my previous i5...
If i7 is throttling this bad, how can MS market it as being faster when the core speed is unusable? :/
I'm back to check in and see if any improvements to the SP3's wifi issue have been made/fixed? I returned mine about 3 days after it's launch day...
The cool down phase could probably be mitigated and lessened to ramp back up sooner, this is handled by the embedded controller and might take...
You speak like it's acceptable for a CPU to hit it's turbo clocks and hold them for 30 seconds, but throttle afterwards? It's being throttled by...
Okay so then Apple was smart (to an extent) that they know their CPU throttles bad because of insufficient cooling.. Therefore they combat GPU...
No, Anandtech is not surprised by the throttling is all - they don't act like it's acceptable, they just aren't surprised that these super thin...
No, this is you justifying it - its also not deemed acceptable either. Source: Many ultrabook-like devices with ULV cpus that do not throttle,...
You must restart from Windows (not shut down and turn on) to get CS to turn back on for those having an issue where it looks like it's not...
Did you ever come across the MBA i5 vs MBA i7 Anandtech review? It shows that ULV i7s do run a bit hotter (more voltage required for more turbo...
At least Apple includes a 5000 GPU for people who care about slightly better GPU performance in an Ultrabook? As shown in the Anandtech review...
You're paying full price for half a product if this is how you feel. Who wants to willingly pay for a crippled machine that throttles after...
Mines going back.. I have pretty much every problem in the book.. I'll wait for the Broadwell refresh of the SP3 and hopefully they have...
I thought so too until I uninstalled XTU and it works fine.. no more reboots! Downside, no more underclocking :( I am running a fresh install...
I'm finding it hard believe you don't have any random reboots at all.. Mine will random reboot with just a single -0.9 reduction (the first...
I want to add that I see strange behavior after disabling Connected Standby.. My machine will wake up automatically after hitting the power...
Hardware only, but via a embedded controller. There's no way Microsoft is going to help these awful thermals with any kind of firmware update,...
If you use Power Save mode on the SP3, it seems to lock the machine to 800mhz no matter what you do.. I find this to be sufficient if you're just...
