Sorry for the necro post people. I do know the general rules to necro posting. But as I do not want to start a new thread only piggy back I will post here in hopes of some ideas. I am using a CX223NA-BCLN4 (BABYMEGA) Asus Chromebook with an Intel ApolloLake I am using, is using an Intel ApolloLake. I believe the proccessor is in line with the Intel IceLake microproccesor.
So the problem is the same as the one Chloedanser has. However I did what was suggested before I even started looking up issues. After my powerwash I put my chromebook in developer mode so I could install crouton. With crouton installed I am able to stop all chrome process.
I have crouton installed on chroot. When I run the xfce I execute:
Code:
ps ax -o sess,pgrp,pid,cmd | awk '$4 ~ /\/chrome$/ { print $3 }' | xargs $nodo kill
Which kills all of the ChromeOS nonsense. I then plug in my computer. It works fine as long as I don't go back to utilizing the main OS. The power saving function seems to stop. So the Chromebook speeds up. I believe the issue not to be with the hardware but with the OS itself. This trick allows me to play smooth Minecraft as well. Max FPS set at 160, Fancy graphics, clouds, render distance 14, mip map levels on 3. This is excellent for a Chromebook of course. But when you switch back to the OS it runs fine for a minimum of 1 min. A little slow. But you can visibly see it slowing down. The animations on chrome tab previews are late. The mouse get's very laggy. And click responses freeze it. At that point it's to late to recover from it by unplugging your laptop charger because the CPU usage is so high. To specify some more this doesn't only occur with crouton open in the background. It happens even when Crouton isn't installed or even active. Just plug it in and watch the throttle happen. If I had the tools at the moment I would flash a custom UEFI bios and then install raw Linux or Windows to see what happens when I plug it in.
I'm around for whoever replies. I'm not a one time poster.
