I actually downloaded the software and ran it in my windows 11 dev drive, and it seems overclocking the CPU is quite the impact, netting me over 2000 points extra! To be fair i don’t know the reference speed at all, as i’ve had it overclocked since day one ! When i get a newer system i plan on overclocking, but from what i’ve been seeing overclocking a newer CPU doesn’t net as much juice as these old boys can do! That single core performance uplift should probably impact php/javascript quite a lot for my daily work, i will compare it when i finally pull the upgrade trigger!
It really is a tiny little trooper. I do mostly web development work, virtual machine based simulations before real world implementations and play some platformer games, and aside from the ocasional “ok 10 virtual machines is a bit too much” moments it chugs along great, before on Windows 10 LTSC and now since 1 and a half years ago on Debian with KDE (Steam Proton is really great!). I really have been saving, and I got to say, this PC has payed for itself almost 100 times over by now !
I have rebooted (i apply the updates offline usualy), but it persists. I’ve also ran the apt full-upgrade and autoclean/autoremove with no luck. plasmashell version on the terminal also reports .10 version. It’s just a silly little glitch in the UI it seems!
