Well, I've seen the "Reduce processor performance" setting in the energy saver system preference and decided to check it. Using skidmarks gt, here are the benchmarks before and after.
Before: Integer 2434
Floating Point 1702
Vector 2103
Now with reduced processor performance
Integer 2027
Floating Point 1418
Vector 1752
All of the numbers after were about 83% of what they were before. because of this, I'm assuming that with that feature checked, processor drops to 667mhz from 800mhz. Is that the only difference? Does it turn off the L3 cache? What about the 667DVI, what does that processor do when you tell it to reduce its performance?
Just curious...
