at the lowest core power state (UVD is probably clocked up though but I don't have a good way to measure that.) So I used the performance power state for the CPU which mostly keeps it at 4.6Ghz (down to 4.2Ghz occasionally,) and the load average was only 1.7-2.6.ĭuring all of this, radeontop reported about 15% utilization on the GPU when viewing 4k content. It was usually below 4Ghz with very rare spikes to 4.2Ghz on all cores (wat.) What I observed is that the load average was anywhere between 2.2 and 3.4 which basically means that many threads were required to play the 4k content (between 2.2 and 3.4.) Mind you that at idle, my machine is usually somewhere at about 0.5-0.75 due to everything that may be going on in the background (like me watching the load average in htop and having chrome open with some static content.)Īlso mind you that the 3930k was not clocking up to full speed during this test.
