VAIO argue that they design great cooling system (with TruePerformance brand) so their laptop with lower TDP CPU performs better than other manufacturer's higher TDP laptop with crap cooling. It looks interesting because it's also portable, but it's expensive due to VAIO's selling scale.
- bserge 6y agoThat looks like Dell's Dynamic Tuning, which also dynamically adjusts performance. Except Dell still sells models with higher end processors that their cooling simply can't handle. https://www.notebookcheck.net/Dell-Dynamic-Power-Policy-A-look-into-how-Dell-manages-thermal-and-power-policies-across-its-XPS-lineup.247462.0.html https://www.notebookcheck.net/Dell-Dynamic-Power-Policy-A-lo... The result is hilarious: Dell's own machines with a lower end processor have equal or higher performance compared to the same models with higher end CPUs. This is actually part Intel's fault, as with TurboBoost their processors with the same core count have nearly the same performance, so it makes little sense to pay $100-200 more for a "higher end" CPU unless it has more cores.
