Low hanging fruit, but whatever. It is what it is.
Wait why are you compiling on battery?
power strip died and i hadn’t realised.
In what way? My wife plays minecraft with several hundred mods on a (desktop) i5-4560
different cpu. I’m talking about the i5-5300U specifically. Not some other i5 of the era. Also, this doesn’t really matter but you’re addressing 4th and 6th gen, while the i5-5300U is, obviously, 5th gen.
Yes it is a different CPU, of almost the exact same age and architecture. I don’t have a 5300u otherwise I’d be able to compare directly. I’m pointing to similar processors (remember this was about the time that Intel stagnated. They didn’t improve much from Haswell (4th gen) until about Coffee Lake, and kept continuously refreshing Skylake (6th gen) for years. By memory 5th gen was just rebadged Haswell as well) I do have that I have relevant experience with.
On the Minecraft front I don’t think it’s the processor, I suspect you either have a configuration issue, or a thermal budget limitation. I had a Ryzen laptop that was really good, except it did not have the thermal capacity to maintain a workload, and would throttle itself all the way down to 600Mhz if I was doing something CPU and GPU intensive for a long time (such as running a bunch of VMs and trying to browse the web while using an external monitor)

something something NBLK-WAX9X.

i have no idea what it is. I have tried everything.

It was actually a midrange HP provided by my school when I went back to college. Super sucked trying to build a virtual Windows domain while in a zoom class and waiting forever while it struggled with the sustained workload and kept thermal throttling lower and lower and lower…

I’m not sure what to tell you on Linux since I’ve never had good luck monitoring throttling on processors on Linux, but I was just watching it in Task Manager (again, school laptop) and saw the integrated graphics temperatures get pretty high (>90C) then the CPU start throttling down lower and lower until I either gave up or it got down to ~600Mhz
