>>23242034I do still find it weird how Ryzen is managing P-states from what you've told me. It's not a loss entirely WRT power management and efficiency though. Outside of heavy AVX2/512 workloads, you still beat anything short of a 12th Gen i7 around the block for performance per watt, which is what usually matters when it comes to power consumption.Furmark was a rec for "black screen" RX 480 anon though? If his GPU is failing, Furmark won't be very happy. If it's his power supply, the CPU being at ~0% will likely be enough for his PSU to not shit the bed and allow Furmark to run with no issues. It's not a hard science, barring a PSU tester, multimeter
and a deathwish, etc. I've had PSUs that were fucked enough that running Linpack was enough to hard reboot the PC as soon as the AVX routines kicked in.
IntelBurnTest? I forgot which implementation it was. Probably LinX 0.6.5. Prime95 supports AVX now. Man, 2011-2012...
>By default, Prime95 automatically selects the newest instruction set extension, such as AVX, AVX2, or even AVX-512. In order to change this behavior, Prime95 needs to be started and completely shut down again once. This will create the local.txt file. In it, exclusions are assigned a value of 0, whereas the code path that’s to be tested is assigned a value of 1. If you aren’t clear as to which SSE version is supported by your CPU, both can be set to 1. Prime95 will choose the correct fallback. >>23243546No red nipple, no good. Lenovo doesn't really make any laptops worth buying other than a T, W (do they still make it?) or X.
NGL any laptop is fine if all you care about is reducing NASFAQ power consumption, especially if you already have the thing.
I haven't kept up with modern ThinkPads, but there were some immediate post-Lenovo models, like the ThinkPad SL400/500, that had more in common with an IdeaPad than a ThinkPad. They still had the IBM style over 9000 replacement parts/FRUs available and excellent service manuals. Once you were inside one it was clearly still a ThinkPad. But the hinge FRU was dogshit. And it was yucky glossy plastic.
t. moonlit maintaining a deployment of like 200+ laptops between school years, second fiddle to the IT guy, who unironically got me my job as a teacher in the first place. replaced a few dozen ThinkPad hinges during undergrad for multiple steak dinners and a Benjamin or two -> started teaching that August. Truly one of my bro-est bros. Find you a NASFAQ bro like that.neways ThinkPads are thread culture. Because cypher's thinkpad. And originally bento box inspired design, hwy not.
