![]() RyanSmithAT: Where are you sourcing replacements? I feel like the hardest part of this is finding a UL listed p….Instead of sleeping to avoid overheating the turbo bin must gradually be lowered until a good steady state is reached. If Turbo results in "turbos and sleeps frequently to prevent overheating" it is simply set up badly, significantly worse than Turbo on Intel Desktop CPUs since a few years. In fixed tortoise mode you'd have to predict all of them and assume the worst case, just like Intel & AMD did for the first dual and quad cores with low fixed frequencies. Turbo also autoamtically factors in things like "how many cores are loaded", "how stresful is this program in reality", "how good is the device cooling" and "how hot is the ambient" by simply measuring them empirically (power consumption & temperature). With Turbo you don't loose any performance compared to this scenario, it just makes you reach the limit quicker. Had you choosen the tortoise mode, you would have started at this point. When the load is sustained over longer periods, Turbo automatically throttles back to what ever limit the OEM has set. There's no good reason not to use the performance available and be a tortoise voluntarily. MrSpadge - Wednesday, Aplink Turbo gives the system increased responsiveness under bursty loads, i.e.Both of the 5Y71 have a lower average score, but unlike the single-threaded result, neither of them can sustain a CPU frequency past the frequency of the ASUS very much. Unsurprisingly it comes no where near the Core i5, but looking at the CPU frequency graph really demonstrates why it scores higher. The 5Y10 device handily outperforms both of the higher ranked models. Now we come to the end result of this workload. The active cooling and low SoC temperatures help the Yoga 3 Pro to keep a cool exterior to the device. The overall SoC temperature is quite a bit lower than all of the other devices when the device is under load. Looking at the temperatures, you can see just how conservative Lenovo has been with the Yoga 3 Pro. Neither of the 5Y71 devices turbo much over the 5Y10 in this test though. The ASUS averages the highest CPU frequency of the Core M contenders just like in the single-threaded workload, with the Lenovo less than 100MHz behind it, and the Dell Venue a ways back again. When it comes to average CPU frequency, both the Lenovo Yoga 3 Pro and the Dell Venue 11 Pro once again end up falling behind the ASUS and its much lower turbo speed in this test, though not by a huge margin. The ASUS UX305 performs just as well in this test as the last, with a very consistent CPU frequency, despite the temperatures getting a bit higher than the last run. The Yoga 3 Pro is similar, but quickly falls back due to the 65☌ limit placed on the processor by the manufacturer. The Dell Venue 11 Pro tablet though starts off really reaching for the stars, but quickly must throttle back until it finds a consistent range that allows it to stay within its cooling constraints. The Core i5 once again has no issues maintaining its high CPU frequency, even though the overall SoC temperature does get higher than the single-threaded run. All of these devices have four logical cores mapped to two physical cores via Hyperthreading, all of which are run at maximum load for the duration of this test. Looking at a multi-threaded run of Cinebench, the devices which will perform the best are going to need to have enough thermal headroom to keep all of the cores working at a good pace.
