Skylake-X on X299 can be configured to not downclock at all, the light and heavy stages are referred in BIOS as AVX2- and AVX512-offsets, but of course that comes with extra heat and power draw. The voltage transition period can't be mitigated AFAIK.

If I understood this correctly, this is for desktop chips and systems. My experience is solely based on Xeon family of processors.

Our systems doesn’t feature a similar override, but we can adjust the thermal and power envelope of the processors and system in general.

When we get a new bunch of systems, I’ll look into it, but my hopes are not that high.

Maybe we’ll get AMD systems this time, who knows.
