Intel at the moment up to date the general public data-sheet of its 10th Gen Core “Comet Lake-S” desktop processor to disclose exact energy restrict and tau values of every particular SKU. PL 1 or energy stage 1 is interchangeable with the processor’s TDP as an influence worth. PL 1 is enough for a processor to maintain its base frequency (nominal clocks). For instance, a processor with 65 W TDP has PL 1 at 65 W. PL 2 is what affords the processor the ability to hunt out increase frequencies. This worth varies with between mannequin to mannequin, with the unlocked Ok/KF SKUs getting larger PL 2 values than the locked ones. The firm additionally disclosed Tau. This is a timing variable that tells the processor how lengthy (in seconds) can it keep inside PL 2, earlier than having to retreat to PL 1.
