Renoir brought a paradigm shift in the booklet thanks to the Ryzen 4000 Mobile. Intel had to get rid of all the creativity trying to fight the impact and somehow, the first wheels started to jump.
As we well know, AMD is starting with all the benefits of a more optimized lithographic process in a sector such as laptop in terms of power and consumption, which Intel, for its part, is aiming to retain at its expense at all costs, which it looks like will cost its way.
The i9-10980HK will not consume 45 watts, with up to 135 watts power without the GPU
Although we were unable to find specific details as described by Intel, it seems that the Guru3D boys have seen in other Whitepaper the curious data presented by the blue prince. These documents specify the maximum power i9-10980HK to use, which will increase to 135 watts.
This is a high figure determined by Intel and although this CPU will certainly never reach those watts due to the various limitations of each laptop, the average usage is limited to the 8 curtains and 16 threads this processor has.
Under regular loading, Intel sets a TDP of 107 watts, to initially double the company's nominal numbers. Where's the trap?
PL1 and PL2 mean the key to understanding the whole problem
As we mentioned, we didn't get the details put on by Guru3D colleagues, but we did find some information that shed more light on this.
When we look at documents provided by Intel, in one of its small prints we find that the company claims that 45 watts of TDP are below the PL1 region and therefore do not directly define TDP under the most common PL2, Which allows for faster speeds at Boost for a specified time.
If the specifications are correct and the particular distance bookmarks allow us to output 135 TDts of TDP, then we would argue that if we add to this the use of the GPU we are likely to face 160 watts, which is like consuming the entire RTX 2060.
This will only be possible if the processor is at temperatures below 65 degrees Intel Thermal Velocity Boost marks, where in this case there is +200 MHz this technology allows for 5.3 GHz Intel signals to work.
This is certainly going to be a tougher job than this and may not even happen on laptops, so there may not be a market model that can leverage this opportunity to make a difference given the TDP data set.
