Disable Turbo Boost to Reduce Power Consumption and Heat

Why Do We Need It?

If your laptop’s CPU is running very hot and you’ve tried to undervolt it, you’ve probably discovered there’s no easy way to do so—especially on laptops whose BIOS doesn’t expose those controls. I ran into the same issue with my Ryzen 7 5800H, despite numerous attempts, I couldn’t undervolt because the firmware simply wouldn’t allow it. While it may seem drastic, disabling Turbo Boost is one workaround—and you might be surprised how little real-world performance you lose by turning it off.

# Maximizing AV1 decoding speed: a modern 2022 encoding and decoding guide!

Hello. I've decided to share a lot more of my knowledge in public forums from now on, and to not divert any of my focus away from improving the world in a way that stays written in history.

This Gist is about discussing on how to improve AV1 decoding performance on 2 fronts: improving performance through more efficient decoding, and through decoding aware encoding.

Improving decoding performance through more efficient decoding.

Here are many tips on how to improve decoding performance on any machine:

1. Keep your favorite media player up to date!
