It went down a little from 4Ghz because gaming is more demanding than just browsing the net.Started playing Overwatch and the CPU usage went to 90-100%, 80 C, but it was still running at 3.8GHz. isnt that weird?
Modern CPUs have option to boost frequency (not same thing as "speed") when OS and programs demand but other wise keep speed lower to have less of power usage. Also commonly refereed as Turbo or Boost. That may not happen to all cores, usually one or two.hey there, I want to know whats the difference between them and why is my speed 4 GHz and base speed is 2.30 GHz?
im on laptop, Acer Nitro 5, i5 8300H.

It's normal for a laptopStarted playing Overwatch and the CPU usage went to 90-100%, 80 C, but it was still running at 3.8GHz. isnt that weird?
whats normal? temperature or CPU usage?. I was talking about the speed.It's normal for a laptop
