I have seen a lot about how the m14xr2 throttles the GPU but does this also throttle the CPU too? I am using a windows service webpage crawler that kicks off about 100 concurrent crawlers to do html parsing. As soon as I start the service it is hauling like expected and like it does on our work machines (no alienware). Then maybe a minute or two in after the CPU is up at 80+ it just drops down to 20-30 and the output logs slow dramatically. Is this throttling of some sort? I have messed with trying to get ThrottleStop to help but I am either not using it right or it is a different issue.
On non-alienware machines it rides the CPU fairly hard and benchmarks well. My m14xR2 has better specs but seems to be throttled shortly after starting.. Thoughts?
