Intel's next-gen Arrow Lake CPUs are reportedly going to debut with the "Fast Throttle" thermal management technique, ensuring optimal performance under stress. Intel's Arrow Lake Desktop CPU Lineup To Feature Several Improvements In The Thermal Department, Fast Throttle Being One of Them For those unaware, Fast Throttle or "Per-Core Thermal Throttle" is a method that Intel employed with its Raptor Lake Refresh processors. Traditionally, when your CPUs get hot, the entire processor gets slowed down, which we call thermal throttling, as well as TJMax in the professional language (used to indicate the maximum thermal threshold of the chip). While this […]
