Bug#945055: Acknowledgement (intel-microcode: CPU runs at considerably higher temperatures)

Hey.

I've forwarded this to lkml.

My most recent post in that thread[0] contains an pretty elaborate test
series comparing kernel 5.2 vs. 5.4 (each with intel_pstate=disable and
without), each on Cinnamon and GNOME Classic... under different
scenarios (idle system and several videos played back).

My personal conclusion would be that something changed between 5.2 and
5.3, which made temperatures and CPU utilisation considerably worse for
Cinnamon,... and not such much, but still noticeably for GNOME.


Apart from that however, there seems to be additionally something wrong
with Cinnamon, as it performs much worse with video playback than GNOME
does - even under 5.2.

So I've additionally created a ticket there at Cinnamon[1].
