And even so u get throttled...
Did u update the bios sopaj?
Also to the ones that do update it please try what benjamin said otherwise the bios wont do much of a difference.

resetted BIOS setting, looks like it is still doing the exact same thing, nothing has changed on the Turbo Boost front. Also tested the GPU with 3DMark06 and the same abysmal performance is also still the same...

Oh and do you really get 68-70 heat?my highest is about 60
You aren't likely to get it to 70 with normal operation. I was running linpack test to stress the cpu to the max trying to see where it would start scaling back. I think others ran into the Turbo shutdown while running games, which along with onboard graphics could bring the temperature up.
Although now I'm not so sure that it was the temperature that's doing it....running stress test at the wee hours (pretty cold at 3:30 in the morning) and I didn't see the cpu's temp going past 65 under full stress, yet it showed the same Turbo shut down behavior then when I ran the test earlier during the day. I know the VAIO with the M processor certainly didn't shut down Turbo when I ran tests. I know for desktop versions it will only scale back once you hit the 105c mark, which I've also done first hand (running some tests...) I'm starting to wonder whether this is a normal behavior for our U processor... If temperature is not the restricting factor, which at this stage I don't think it is, the other factor would be 100% CPU stress time. But since I don't play games, I really haven't ran into situations where my Turbo was shut down.

The other tablet uses the exact same processor so i dont think its the processor fault i still believe its bios related somehow.
Still weird that some users tablet didnt start throttling from the get-go.

Mine throttled from the first day...

Mine only does it when I run the Stress tests. Although in truth it really shouldn't even when stressed, as I don't see this in the M as well as the desktop i5.
I did also play with the power settings to make sure Active cooling is on, which supposedly also affects Turbo Boost.

yes it should affect turbo boost, keep hoping for a decent bios update
ces tablets are awesome, to bad about the price though ^^

Are you guys seeing throttling during normal usage? or is is during heavy cpu usage?
