Is it actually that bad on Tiger Lake? Or just for really high-width vectors? On my old Ice Lake laptop, single-core AVX-512 workloads do not decrease frequency at all even with wider registers, and multi-core workloads will result in clock speed degradation of a small amount, maybe 100Mhz or so.

Depends on a couple factors (i.e. Ice Lake client only has 1 FMA unit) but I'd be surprised if Tiger Lake was a major regression relative to Ice Lake. It seems like they had it in an OK spot by then.
