Hi, I recently started playing around with undervolting my CPU, and after looking at the specs of my 12600K, I realized that although the single-core turbo is 4.9 GHz, the all-core turbo is only 4.5 GHz. While I don't understand exactly how this works, I can see this being the case. My question is how is this ever used, other than benchmarks like single-core overclocks for Cinebench scores?
In addition, even for games like CS that are historically more single-core, high frequency dependent, I still am not seeing my CPU turbo to 4.9, even after limiting it to using only 1 and 2 threads in launch options. At the end of the day, I am just trying to see if I can squeeze any performance out of my PC, and to me, this single-core turbo just seems like a marketing trick.
I would appreciate any info on how the newer Intel architecture works.
