Comment on Bye Intel, hi AMD! I’m done after 2 dead Intels

  I’d expect it to still throttle before getting to 105C, and then adjust to maintain a temp under 105C. If it goes above 105C, it should halt.

    Then you misunderstand the spec. That’s the max operating temperature, not the thermal protection limit. It throttles at 105 so it doesn’t hit the limit at 115 or whatever and shut down. I can’t find a detailed spec sheet that might give an exact figure.

      The chip needs to account for thermal runaway, so I’d expect it to throttle before reaching max operating temperature and then adjust so it stays within that range. So it should downclock a little around 90C or whatever, the increase as needed as it approaches 105C or whatever the max operating temp is. If it goes above that temp, it should aggressively throttle or halt, depending how how far above it went and how quickly.

        No it shouldn’t slow down at 90C, it should clock up until it can sustain exactly 105C and stay there. That’s the optimal performance point.

        Again, you misunderstand. The max operating temperature is where Intel has stated that the CPU can safely operate for extended periods of time, including accounting for situations like thermal runaway (though ideally they engineer the chip that that doesn’t happen in the first place).

        If that situation does occur, the chip attempts to throttle at 105, and if that fails then it presumable halts at whatever the protection threshold is before it hits the actual damage point, as I said.

    Why? It’s designed to run up to 105c.

    I think it was when AMDs 7000 series CPUs were running at 95c and everyone freaked out that AMD came out and said that the CPUs are built to handle this load 24/7 365 for years on end.

    And it’s not like this is new to Intel. Intel laptop CPUs have been doing this for a decade now.

      CPUs should throttle as they approach the limit to prevent thermal runaway. As it gets closer to that limit, it should adjust the frequency in smaller increments until it arrives at that temp to keep the changes to temps small.

        105c is the max operating temperature. It’s not going to run away the second it hits 106.

        Your CPU starts throttling at 104c so that way it almost never hits at 105c for long If it can’t maintain clocks then it drops them until 104c can mostly be maintained.

    My intel mac’s cpu (i5-5250U) throttles to maintain 105 C
