> Especially when unplugged which will cause Alder Lake to significantly drop in performance. At least in a laptop, it's not just when you unplug the laptop that performance drops. You've also got to have enough volume in the laptop to shoehorn in a major cooling system if you're going to keep the P series processors from throttling. For instance, Lenovo's thin and light ThinkPad X1 Yoga has two fans but still throttles: >Unfortunately, the laptop got uncomfortably hot in its Best performance mode during testing, even with light workloads. https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2022/07/review-lenovos-thinkpad-x1-yoga-gen-7-looks-good-but-feels-warm/5/#h2 https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2022/07/review-lenovos-think... Or the Dell XPS 13 Plus: >the XPS 13 Plus’ fan was really struggling here because, boy oh boy, did this thing get hot. After a few hours of regular use (which, in my case, is a dozen or so Chrome tabs with Slack running over top), this laptop was boiling. I was getting uncomfortable keeping my hands on the palm rests and typing on the keyboard. Putting it on my lap was off the table. https://www.theverge.com/23284276/dell-xps-13-plus-intel-2022-review https://www.theverge.com/23284276/dell-xps-13-plus-intel-202... Intel's P series chips in a device without a massive heat sink and fans can't hit those high clocks that their performance benchmarks rely on.
