Windows 10: Does microsoft cause its old OS's to cap the cpu or gpu to run at slower speeds?

Does microsoft cause its old OS's to cap the cpu or gpu to run at slower speeds?Im only asking this because i have a laptop i bought for gaming in 2008 or 09 with windows 7 on it - i used to play WoW back then and it ran great, and Aion too but Aion ran with just a little graphics lag but it ran well enough i could deal with it. And thats all fine and dandy, im just noting this to give you an idea how well it ran games.Back then most of the games i played were older games like Anarchy Online and Neocron and Morrowind, and of course those had no issues running at peak performance on this lapto

New NVME Running at HALF Speed - What could be the cause?

Yes, that is correct. Your video card will get full PCI Express performance as the 16 lanes are handled by the CPU.

The only "limitation" you could see is as follows

• Your motherboard chipset provides 24 lanes
• Devices running off the chipset will share the DMI 3.0 bandwidth between the chipset and the CPU. That's about 4GB/sec link.
• So, in the right storm of USB traffic, and network card traffic and NVMe traffic, you can fully saturate the DMI bandwidth between the chipset and the CPU. But that is just a momentary limit....its not like the system will set permanently a device to a slower speed. They will get full speed up until the point they cannot, and then once that bottleneck clears, they get full speed again.

CPU Clock speed with Belle Update

A few things here, some of what you have mentioned I agree with. But some I dont. Firstly when any device is designed, things like the GPU and RAM are all allowed for, that is the speed at which each is capable. There is no use taking pot luck saying oh
we think that will be enough. Its all calculated right from the word go.



Its done for several reasons, firstly costings, there is no use producing something that is so expensive no will be able to afford it. secondly to make sure you dont end up with bottle necks in data flow. Also it no use producing something that is so slow
that you cant do anything worthwhile on it. That is some of the reasons.



You are absolutely right about software, well made software installed in a relatively slow running device can quite often beat poorly designed software running on a fast machine at exactly the same task. O/S like windows for instance, in my opinion only,
whilst full of features, is definitely bloated, and not well designed. A standard install disc for windows these days is around the 3Gig mark (depending on version of OS), where as something that does exactly the same thing like Linux still fits on a 700M
cd.



And you are right about the GPU, its does relieve the pressure on the cpu. Unfortunately the gpu in an N8 or an E7 is only running at 200Mhz. Considering most things are graphical based on these phones. I would have to wonder how much of the gpu is being
used, especially when the one chip is running everything from the 2d/3d graphics/rendering, the camera up to 12MP, HDMI, HD video recording and play back, a stack of video codecs etc.



Unfortunately the main cpu from everything i was able to find is simply listed as an ARM11, these processors run on several Nokia's phone, including the older E90 (which had dual cpu's but ran at much slower speed of about 332 Mhz., however the Arm site
list the ARM 11 as several versions, including one that actually has 4 cpu on the one the chip but only presents itself as 1 cpu to the rest of the hardware, with this cpu running anywhere up to 1Ghz. So its entirely
possible that the 680Mhz listed for the N8/E7 could be as fast as it goes. Also the current versionof the ARM11 have a power consumption of 0.21mW/Mhz. so based on that figure a processor running at 680Mhz would consume 142.8 mW, but at 1G
it would be 210mW, that a difference of 67.2mW. That would mean your phone would go flat a lot quicker. This info is based solely on information that I can find on Nokia run sites, ARM's site and broadcoms site. That way we can beleive what we are able to
read with some certainty. I did find other non-related site suggesting 720mhz for the cpu, but they are only a 3rd party mobile news site, that said it had been suggested that it was capable of 720Mhz..



But i do firmly believe with efficient code the phones can perform extremely well, Anna certainly seems faster than the old Symbian ^3 version that was on the phone prior to Anna, whether or not Belle can be made any more efficient remains to be seen. But
heres hoping.
