Chat is a text only community for casual conversation, please keep shitposting to the absolute minimum. This is intended to be a separate space from c/chapotraphouse or the daily megathread. Chat does this by being a long-form community where topics will remain from day to day unlike the megathread, and it is distinct from c/chapotraphouse in that we ask you to engage in this community in a genuine way. Please keep shitposting, bits, and irony to a minimum.
As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.
Thank you and happy chatting!

Can you check what the actual CPU model is? All but one of the processors listed for your model have a base clock at or above 2GHz, and all of them have a boost clock well above 3GHz.
Laptops have low base frequency, even intel cpus released in 2026 have base clocks sitting around 2GHz. They can temporarily reach higher clock speeds (boost or turbo) when they need more performance, which means the base clock speed can be lower.
