Hi,

Intel Alder Lake processors, especially the HX variants designed for high-performance laptops, are subjected to thermal and power constraints to maintain stability and prevent overheating. Even though the Max Turbo Boost Frequency is advertised at 5 GHz, the processor may dynamically adjust its frequency based on factors like temperature and power consumption to stay within safe operating limits.

You could try:

  • Experimenting with different core configurations to find the optimal balance between computational speed and core utilization.
  • Monitoring CPU temperature and power consumption during the simulation to ensure they are within safe limits.
