Well, so here I am, another (un)fortunate soul with an i7 720Q 1.60GHz Clarksfield...
Thing is, Turbo boost does in fact NOT enable when using Dolphin :-(
I have tried to set affinity, I got a laptop so OC is not an option.
Whenever I emulate a game in Dolphin, the clock speed drops to 1.73(according to Intel's Turbo Boost Monitor) and to 1.73 (according to CPU-Z).
My CPU seems to think that Turbo boost is a good idea for ANYTHING EXCEPT Dolphin :-( (It even Turbo'es with PCSX2)
I have tried with and without the Lock thread to cores option, I have tried both 3.0 stable and 3.0.764-dirty developement version, I don't really know what there is left to try, I know for sure that it is not overheating, since once Dolphin is closed, it turbo'es up. Only when Dolphin is in use it drops to 1.73, EVERYTHING else gets turboed :-( Even spotify!
