I recently bought a new laptop with a Ryzen 5 3500, only the Task Manager says that the CPU only has 2.10 GHz, although the processor is actually 3.7 GHz
Baseclock is 2.1 GHz. So everything is right.
This is possibly the base lock
Shouldn't that normally be the highest possible speed? So 3.7 GHz?
The CPU clocks up and down as you like.
2.1GHz is the normal clock rate of the CPU and 3.7GHz is the maximum boost clock, which is only achieved if a program needs this performance and if the cooling still has sufficient reserves.
It only boosts up to 3.7 GHz.
But by default it has 2.1 GHz.
This can also fall depending on the energy settings.
So everything is correct.
No, you can see that. Only in certain Intel / AMD softwares
Yes, turn on cpu-z and throw the single core benchmark on then it is there.
No, because notebook processors in particular normally only go into turbo mode for a very short time due to their low energy budget in order to accelerate the opening of programs and applications.
