Modern CPUs scale quite non linearly and the default set-point is where it is for marketing reasons. My i7-7800 can do 1 work for 70 watts, 1.25 works for 150 watts or 0.9 works for 38 watts. Just underclock/undervolt, problem solved.

It is sort of incredible that HN can't figure out how to set the power limits on CPUs. It's almost like they deserve the walled garden Apple gives us without any knobs or controls.

  There's a reason they eat up all the marketing around the M1 as being magic.
