    UPDATE (putting this in a separate reply so you’ll see it): So I just dusted the laptop again, it actually performs somewhat well, turns out my first pass where I also changed the thermal paste didn’t get all the dust.

    EDIT: This probably won’t hold, I’ve been seeing some γαμάτα deals for newer ThinkPads here lately.

    It was actually a midrange HP provided by my school

    no i was actually referencing a laptop I had that did just that.

    I’m not sure what to tell you on Linux since I’ve never had good luck monitoring throttling on processors on Linux,

    Yeah, I’m starting to believe it’s thermal throttling too. Perhaps watch -n1 sensors in one terminal window and watch -n.1 "grep \"^[c]pu MHz\" /proc/cpuinfo" in another?


  • had a Ryzen laptop that was really good, except it did not have the thermal capacity to maintain a workload, and would throttle itself all the way down to 600Mhz

    something something NBLK-WAX9X.

    I don’t think it’s the processor, I suspect you either have a configuration issue, or a thermal budget limitation.

    i have no idea what it is. I have tried everything.

    I was originally planning on getting a Surface Pro 11 or other ARM laptop as my next laptop, but one day I was thinking about an old CLEVO P150HM1 which tore everything apart, and outperforms my 2015 T450, while being made in 2009. Needless to say, I got a lot more tolerant of the idea of buying an X86 laptop as my new laptop. I also realised that the price range an SP11 involved also allowed for a Framework Laptop 13. I’m saying all this to not conflict with the rest of my comment history, but in summary: Long live the Framework!

    EDIT: This probably won’t happen, I’ve been seeing some γαμάτα deals for newer ThinkPads here lately.
