Ask Windows to do it. It is enabled by default in any modern Linux distribution.

Are you affiliated with Dell?

Or simply not willing to do some very preliminary research?

For everyday use, SpeedShift is a big leap ahead of the old SpeedStep technology. Faster performance, lower latency AND better battery life.

Thanks, I will do my bet to spread the love on reviews I find.

any objection to sites requesting a copy and paste over a direct link?

Anandtech did some tests on Speed Shift: http://www.anandtech.com/show/9751/examining-intel-skylake-speed-shift-more-responsive-processors

Have any results been published yet? That would assess typical workload types:
-idle
-writing document
- playing a html5 game
- scrolling webpage
-browsing pictures
-100% load (no power saving expected)

With particular results? Latency impact, speed impact, total energy, total power draw... compare before vs after

Very interesting technology... But  no known results

Intel Speed Shift is a great technology that enables all of the following:

- Higher performance
- Improved energy efficiency & battery life
- Reduced heat

The Dell 9550 and 9560 already have full support from both Intel and Microsoft. Dell just needs to enable the BIOS checkbox.

ThrottleStop free software enables SpeedShift via a simple checkbox. As Doug notes in the article, more experienced users can use some registry tricks...

I guess it is related to the overheating problems they have with the XPS 9550 (and perhaps with the XPS 9560).

After more than a year of badgering by customers waiting for the performance-enhancing technology to be enabled, a Dell representative has stated that though both the 9550 and 9560 support Speed Shift, their engineers are not in the mood to enable it.
