On my system I don't see a significant delta in core temperatures for
'threshold' temperatures of 80, 85 or 90°C. However Dhrystone
performance goes up by ~8% when changing the trip point from 80 to
85°C. For a switch from 85 to 90°C I see a ~2% performance delta. For
all trip points the average core temperatures are ~80°C (silver) and
~85°C (gold). Interestingly I observed the highest average
temperatures with the trip point at 80°C (repeated measurements were
taken for different temperatures).
Supposedly LMH throttling is disabled in the firmware I used for
these tests, however data suggests that it is still active
(temperature doesn't rise beyond 95°C, even without throttling in
Linux; Dhrystone performance drops when raising the temperature beyond
95°C with a heat gun. I will do some more testing when I get my hands
on a FW that effectively disables LMH (or raises the threshold to
something like 105°C).
>From the data collected so far I'd suggest a 'threshold' temperature
of 90°C or if that seems to high 85°C. Behavior might be different
with other thermal governors or without LMH throttling..
