Line 153:

In any case my point is that if any hard numbers are to be left in that section they should probably be specified as examples, specific to those single processors, and in terms of base clock multipliers since percentages make little / no sense even on similar speed chips as seen from the 14C skylake server chip downclocking immensely to keep within the low TDP. --[[User:A Shortfall Of Gravitas|A Shortfall Of Gravitas]] ([[User talk:A Shortfall Of Gravitas|talk]]) 08:46, 18 July 2021 (UTC)

:The essential point this section should get across is that there is a separate downclocking mechanism that is besides thermal and power regulation. In other words, the downclocking that is being discussed in this section happens solely based on execution of certain instructions. The Ice Lake reference describes that in detail. The exact amount of downclocking is configurable, but there are default clock multiplier reductions. Changing these settings is considered overclocking and is besides the point of this section. Though I agree that it would be more accurate to use clock multiplier reductions instead of percentages.
