This convinced me to play around with undervolting and I managed to do -50/-50/-40 (cpu/gpu/soc) while still passing furmark and all mprime tests, now I can play Stardew Valley for even longer!
Am I reading this right? The games performed better with less power? Why?
Undervolting aims to keep the same performance at a lower power draw. But because modern SOCs scale their frequency dynamically based on temperature, a lower voltage means slightly better performance
Oh interesting. Makes sense. Any idea why they don’t tune it like this from the factory? Stability?
The performance boost in Hitman 3 is interesting. Probably results from being able to keep a more consistent clock speed during intensive scenes because of lowered temps
I was just about to ask how undervolting could possibly improve performance. Your explanation sounds pretty plausible.
