mjg59 | Skylake's power management under Linux is dreadful and you shouldn't buy one until it's fixed
This looks like a very big OUCH for latest generation of Intel based laptops! -- desktops might be okay though. http://mjg59.dreamwidth.org/41713.html Kind Regards AndrewM

Note the second part, which says unless you implement power saving, Intel thinks your CPU might overheat and melt. I think that part matters even for mains-powered Skylake systems.

Apparently not, the article says: # (Edit to add: this issue is restricted to the mobile SKUs. # Desktop parts have very different power management behaviour) Which is good to hear! -- Chris Samuel : http://www.csamuel.org/ : Melbourne, VIC

/me doubts it since supercomputers have already been designed with skylake CPUs in them. Anyone want a supply of freon for their laptops? -- Tim Connors
