11th generation Core processor locks the voltage and no longer supports notebook step-down software

In September of this year, Intel released the eleventh-generation Core processor, 10nm SuperFin process, up to 4 cores and 8 threads, and an acceleration frequency of 4.8GHz.

The new Willows Cove core IPC performance has risen sharply and the overall performance is good. It has become the main force of the new generation of thin and light notebooks.

Everyone knows that a notebook processor usually has many limitations. There is no overclocking or voltage adjustment software.

ThrottleStop is an artifact-level software. It is not a special overclocking software. In fact, it mainly adjusts the notebook CPU frequency and voltage to reduce power consumption. , The effect of fever.

However, on the eleventh-generation Core processor, netizens found that the software was invalid and did not support the FIVR voltage module of the Tiger Lake processor and could not be adjusted.

Initially, some netizens thought that this might be because the ThrottleStop software did not update to support the TGL processor.

However, some netizens broke the news that this was a problem with the TGL processor. The FIVR module was locked and the voltage could not be adjusted at will.

Processors in the TGL area are more energy efficient. It may be that Intel uses a more advanced FIVR voltage regulation module.

Intel’s lock-up voltage regulation may be to let the processor control itself to avoid the instability caused by third-party software step-down or boost The factor appears.

Judging from the news, Intel may re-support the voltage adjustment function on the high-performance version of the TGL-H series early next year, and there may be a clearer explanation at that time.
