It was actually a midrange HP provided by my school when I went back to college. Super sucked trying to build a virtual Windows domain while in a zoom class and waiting forever while it struggled with the sustained workload and kept thermal throttling lower and lower and lower…
i have no idea what it is. I have tried everything.
I’m not sure what to tell you on Linux since I’ve never had good luck monitoring throttling on processors on Linux, but I was just watching it in Task Manager (again, school laptop) and saw the integrated graphics temperatures get pretty high (>90C) then the CPU start throttling down lower and lower until I either gave up or it got down to ~600Mhz

no i was actually referencing a laptop I had that did just that.

Yeah, I’m starting to believe it’s thermal throttling too. Perhaps watch -n1 sensors in one terminal window and watch -n.1"grep \"^[c]pu MHz\" /proc/cpuinfo" in another?
UPDATE (putting this in a separate reply so you’ll see it): So I just dusted the laptop again, it actually performs somewhat well, turns out my first pass where I also changed the thermal paste didn’t get all the dust.
EDIT: This probably won’t hold, I’ve been seeing some γαμάτα deals for newer ThinkPads here lately.

Hey glad to hear it! The longer any computer can have a useful life the better!
