![]() ![]() Until OEMs and Intel find ways of mitigating “plundervolt” without disabling a key feature of the chip that has become crucial on today’s thin, light, and undercooled notebooks, I cannot recommend purchasing any 10th-gen-equip systems if efficiency or performance are your main concerns. Among his criticisms were the build quality, price, and lack of ability to undervolt. Well-known tech YouTuber Dave Lee reviewed his loaned MSI GS66. ![]() When finished, press F2 repeatedly to enter BIOS.ĭo not let the laptop boot to windows before completing steps 5-6.Īs suspected, Intel’s 10th-gen Skylake-based (6-8 core) chips in laptops are shipping with undervolting abilities disabled from some (if not all) OEMs. ![]() EC Controller may fail to patch but others will succeed. Run BIOS from Windows the system will restartĤ. From BIOS -> Security, disable UEFI firmware capsule updates ‘ģ. In my experience, unless you really need a new feature, an older i7 ULV is a far better choice.2. However, there is a ~1-3hr average usage gain from the 3667U which is certainly a boost. I don't notice any power/efficiency difference between the 5300U-6200U, absolutely none, which was disappointing. 2.5GHz/3.2GHz it is sustaining with ease and it sustains 2.9GHz all cores when I benchmark it (under stock TDPs) which makes it perform ahead of the other two. In IXTU, I set most of them to 15W/25W, but the i7 can be clocked much higher than base, and even TDPs for when you need. The i7 clocks higher and stays there longer if I restrict the TDPs, which is what first alarmed me since it makes it perform better in the end. They have the approx same perf and user experience, except when the graphics get concerned. Except where new features/graphics are concerned. A higher end 2-3 year old CPU will normally perform just as good, and clock better and be far cheaper. ![]() Users are getting duped to buy a new model just for the sake of it being new.
