    My Laptop CPU's clock speed is max but performance is low


    Hi,My Laptop is underperforming when I'm charging it. Whenever I plug in my laptop's charger, I notice a increase in the CPU clock speed which to me is normal since I want my laptop to perform better on charge however, Instead of performing better my laptop underperforms. FPS in game drops heavily the moment I plug in my charger, The GPU clock memory remains the same. The temperature is normal aswell so I don't suspect it's a overheating issue. and my CPU utilization is also low not 100%.System Specs:HP Zbook 15 G3Intel Core I7–6820HQNvidia Quadro M1000M16GB Ram

    Slow performance of a Windows 10 laptop with i5 CPU@2.60 GHz

    The PC Benchmark app shows CPU hash test results of 33 MB/s (single thread) & 102MB/s(multi-thread) for the slow

    Asus 15 inch U56E while a Dell 8000 desktop with a i5 CPU @2.67GHz shows 248 MB/s & 828MB/s for these tests.

    The clock speeds are close while the test results are memory speeds were 572MB/s & 1406MB/s for the desktop.

    Any suggestions for the cause of the laptop's low performance?

    Why is my CPU at max clock-speed

    so this is my first time doing this so please bear over with me
    i have a rog strix z370-e with a i7 8700k cpu and after i last turned it on, it now runs at max clock-speed (4000-4400+) all the time and peaking at 7-9% load when idle (according to CAM)
    i have tried scanning for virus with Bitdefender and nothing turned up

    My Laptop CPU's clock speed is max but performance is low

    CPU speed at 0.48Ghz during low battery

    Hi,

    On my laptop, I have noticed that the CPU speed is dramatically reduced from 1.98Ghz to 0.48Ghz whilst low on battery. As soon as I plug the laptop in, the CPU speed returns to 1.98Ghz. This loss of CPU speed has a great impact on system performance, rendering the laptop near useless.

    My laptop is running an Intel Core i3, and I believe that the technology which controls the speed of the CPU is called SpeedStep. There is no option in the BIOS to turn this feature off. I have also tried to change this setting in the 'Power Plan' options (in Windows). I changed the minimum processor state to 100% and the cooling policy to 'Active'.

    I would like to keep my CPU running at 1.98Ghz. Any suggestions?

    (see this photo for clarification)

    Many thanks.
