yesterday i was told that prime puts more load on cpu and it reaches power limit. But looking at the figures and comparing i dont undertstand how that can be? Can anyone give an explanation why prime only boosts to 4.5 ghz. CPU load is 100% in both tests.
PBO -30 in bios
Thanks for any clear up on this

In simple words ,Prime loads different instructions (different parts of cpu) which are more power hungry. that’s why it reduces freq to be with in power budget.
Hypothetical Example , to run AVX instruction at 4ghz a CPU may need 40 watts, but running a AES instruction at 4ghz may require only 20 watts
