Hey all,
just moved from the 2010 13" MBP 2.66 to the 2011 i7 version.
Just installed W7 Pro via bootcamp, and was setting windows to the way I like it, when I noticed that, it appears that the processor power management that comes with windows didnt seem to be limiting the processor power...?
I used geekbench to measure the performance on my modified "balanced" setting (25% processor), and got a score within 10% of my score on "High Performance" (100%).
Then using various apps, including "speedfan", I saw that all 4 cores were hitting 99% usage under geekbench when using the balanced setting...
I didnt notice this on my 2010 MBP....
does anyone know whats going on here? is there a workaround?
thanks!
