I had this issue for several months but am getting so annoyed with it that I decided to post here to see if @unclewebb can help. On Legion laptops, when the GPU mode is changed (or another trigger that I can't put my finger on), the CPU becomes capped to 3/4 of its full speed. On my previous laptop with an i7-13700HX, it was capped at 3.67 Ghz, and now on my new laptop with an i9-13900HX, it's capped at 3.87 Ghz. Nothing I do other than putting the laptop to sleep or restarting can fix this, but it will randomly come back. There is nothing on the Limits page corresponding to this (after clearing it and while running TSBench, only a yellow GPU sign shows up). It has nothing to do with power limits and seems to just be some sort of throttling that Lenovo implemented, but Limits doesn't recognize anything is happening (EDP other is also not highlighted). Turbo Ratio Limits is also at 5.4 Ghz across the eight cores.
Has anyone seen an issue like this before, or is there anything I can do to fix this? I'll attach any logs or pictures you need. Surely Throttlestop can override this throttling since it isn't going through EDP Other.
