Wrong CPU GHz

[Solarrr]

Hi,

I bought a new laptop today with the processor 'intel dual-core celeron n3350' listed as 2.4GHz. However, when i go into the windows 10 system settings it says that my CPU speed is 1.10GHz. I'm not sure if this is a genuine issue with the laptop or there is something i'm not understanding.

Thanks.

its lovering the clock to save power

when you stress test for example with aida64 it will go back to the speed advertised

[themctipers]

it automatically turns down its own speed to save on battery since you're not using the CPU much

do something cpu intensive, and watch it spike to 2.4ghz

 

also this little T_x button, click on it.

1.10ghz base 2.4ghz boost

So this is completely normal? Also, is there anyway i can get this working to the speed advertised because some games seem laggy. Thank you so much for the quick responses!

Set power preference to max performance.

completely normale, check printscreen

1.1 ghz isn't base. My old CPU base was 2.2 ghz or something like that. OC it could go way above that. When doing nothing, it went to 800 mhz.

Celeron N3350 has a base clock of 1.1 Ghz

https://ark.intel.com/products/95598/Intel-Celeron-Processor-N3350-2M-Cache-up-to-2_4-GHz

 

It just shows the base clock

 

What's listed is Turbo clock. Turbo is enabled by default. It will reach that speed when needed (i.e in demanding tasks)

They list higher clock speed for marketing purpose

 

However what's listed in Windows settings is also not real time measurement. The real clock speed varies. You need 3rd party app to measure it like Hwinfo for example. Windows has built in Performance Monitor but isn't really accurate.

Sorry for all the questions, but how do i do i set the preference to max performance? Also, is it bad if i do this?

Intel says so im quoting what intel ark states, check printscreen i posted before

Thanks for all the help once again. I changed it from balanced to high performance, i am going to restart the laptop now as see if there is an improvement in fps. This will not overheat/cause any problems to the laptop will it?

Id leave it in balanced, high perfornace won't make it faster, only hottter with lower battery life. All it does is force it at its normal clock speed(which is 1.1 ghz). Yo don't have to reboot for these changes to come anyto affect.

 

That 2.4ghz is the peak burst, and won't be used for most workloads under standard uses. Only some instruction sets on one cpu will trigger that speed, and only for a limited period of time.

 

You laptop has a slow cpu, there is nothing you can do to make it faster.

turn it back to balanced and your good

https://gyazo.com/4fa8a257844a15040b7a607fec5a0527 Here it is as balanced. Is there any other way that i can get CPU intensive games to run even a little smoother?

there is nothing you can do other than getting a faster laptop, the cpu is already running at full potiental.

ok, thanks for all the help once again!

Is it possible to get a different processor for the laptop?

nope, its soldered on.

ok,thanks for the help.
