Hi, I wonder what to do with the scaling_max_freq, base_frequency and scaling_min_freq. $ grep model\ name /proc/cpuinfo | sort -u model name : 13th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i3-13100 $ cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/*driver intel_pstate Those are the specifications as provided by Intel [1]: Max Turbo Frequency [GHz] Up to 4.5 Performance-core Max Turbo Frequency [GHz] Up to 4.5 Performance-core Base Frequency [GHz] Up to 3.4 This are the defaults provided by /sys/devices/... : $ cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq 5800000 5800000 5800000 5800000 $ cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cpufreq/base_frequency 4400000 4400000 4400000 4400000 $ cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cpufreq/scaling_min_freq 800000 800000 800000 800000 Is it safe to keep those values or should I set the max to 4500000 and base to 3400000? Is the min value 800000 good or bad? I will stay with powersave, excepted when doing real-time audio work, than I'll select performance. Years ago I read that real-time audio users disabled hyper-threading. I wonder if it's still necessary to select the performance governor and to disable hyper-threading for audio work.
