Processor Speed

ChrisB1974 · ‎07-16-2022

I just purchased a new computer with Intel® Core™ i7-12700T (up to 4.7 GHz with Intel® Turbo Boost Technology, 25 MB L3 cache, 12 cores, 20 threads)[6,7] but my processor speed is only 1.5 GHz. How do I increase the processor speed?

Max Turbo Frequency

Max Turbo Frequency is the maximum single-core frequency at which the processor is capable of operating using Intel® Turbo Boost Technology and, if present, Intel® Turbo Boost Max Technology 3.0 and Intel® Thermal Velocity Boost. Frequency is typically measured in gigahertz (GHz), or billion cycles per second.

Performance-core Base Frequency 1.40 GHz

Intel® Turbo Boost Technology is activated when the Operating System (OS) requests the highest processor performance state (P0). The maximum frequency of Intel® Turbo Boost Technology is dependent on the number of active cores. The amount of time the processor spends in the Intel Turbo Boost Technology state depends on the workload and operating environment.

Any of the following can set the upper limit of Intel® Turbo Boost Technology on a given workload:

Number of active cores
Estimated current consumption
Estimated power consumption
Processor temperature

When the processor is operating below these limits and the workload demands additional performance, the processor frequency will dynamically increase by 133 MHz on short and regular intervals until the upper limit is met or the maximum possible upside for the number of active cores is reached.

Thanks for the information. My fan keeps running every time I run more than one program at a time or if I have more than one browser window open. This being a new computer, is that normal?

That's a hard question to answer
The more a computer is used, the more it will tend to heat up.
so the fans will spin faster to cool it down
Either way, it's normal
trying to slow down the speed, may damage the computer, that's what we forget to say, usually when a user asks how to slow them down
After what is not normal is that the user is disturbed by the noise, there may be a design problem
all you can do is avoid using too many programs at the same time
Pay attention to how the computer is placed and where, not on a surface that could obstruct the ventilation
see some possible solutions

Step 6: Update the BIOS

only if absolutely necessary, it's quite risky, I don't recommend it too much
