I recently bought a Dell Latitude 7320 2-in1(2021), certified used/refurb. It has a Core i7-1185G7, which has a base clock speed of 3.00GHz, which is what Dell advertises for the model.
However, as I'm now discovering, there's technology called TPM (Thermal Design Power), which allows for scaling (throttling) wattage and base clock speed. So, since my laptop is a thin 2-in-1, my actual base clock speed is 1.80GHz.
***I am interested in finding out if anyone knows how to change the Configurable TDP-up base frequency, and possibly the TDP-up (wattage), NATIVELY????
I have done some research and have found some 3rd party programs, such as ThrottleStop, to manually change clock speeds, but I'd definitely rather not use these. There's so much that could bug, it would be so much better to just use the native processor feature to set it to its standard.
- I do realize that Dell engineers set (or requested Intel do it for them) the specs as they are - cooling. but I plan on utilizing a performance laptop cooling stand/base, as well as the Dell Optimizer program (which is configured into BIOS settings as well, at least for power/thermal) or just the BIOS settings for thermal appropriately depending on usage/needs and cooling.
Sorry for the painfully long and detailed post, I just wanted to get it all out there to avoid the possibility of unnecessary responses with info I already know.
- Thanks in advance for any help!!
