TURBO BOOST SWITCHER FOR WINDOWS FOR MAC

I’ve been disabling Intel Turbo Boost on my laptops with Turbo Boost Switcher Pro most of the time since 2015. I believe so strongly in its potential because I’ve been using it on my laptops (in a way) for years, and it’s fantastic. The sole exception, Low Power Mode on iOS, seems to be a huge hit: by offering a single toggle that chooses a different balance, people are able to greatly extend their battery life when they know they’ll need it. Software also plays a role, trying to keep everything background-updated, content-indexed, and photo-analyzed so it’s ready for us when we want it, but not so aggressively that we notice any cost to performance or battery life.Īpple’s customers don’t usually have control over these balances, and they’re usually fixed at design time with little opportunity to adapt to changing circumstances or customer priorities. Modern hardware constantly pushes thermal and power limits, trying to strike a balance that minimizes noise and heat while maximizing performance and battery life. In light of today’s rumor that a Pro Mode may be coming that seems to offer benefits in the opposite direction, 1 I wanted to re-make the case for a Low Power Mode on macOS - and explain why now is the time.
