How Does AVX Offset Work?

AVX ensures excellent performance however, keep in mind that it would require a bit of power and it could generate heat. This means, it would consume more power. Hence, we suggest for you not to run your AVX unit as the same speed as your main processor core especially when you overclock your CPU. This is due to huge power consumption. Thus, it is better if you run your AVX units at a lower speed.
