(Off topic) Holy scheisse, 100W TDP in a thin laptop.
NB: Is it just me or does this seem insane? The predecessor, the spectre from last year with for instance an i7-8550U has a TDP of 15w, add to that the TDP of either the Nvidia GeForce MX150 with a TDP of 25w or the GeForce 940MX with a TDP of 15-30W. Worst case scenario is 45W in all. That is a long way from 100W in the same case. I suspect they have access to black magic if they make the new i7’s run at max capacity. Or am I missing something?
Either the CPU will run at full power or Vega is drawing a lot of power. I was under the impression that Vega was not that bad at lower voltages. Saw a few people undervolting their Vega 56 and 64s with dramatic decrease in power consumption.
Either way, I’m not buying this thing until I see some good reviews.
