> If cooled, could we just crank a Z1 Extreme up to a 100W core and have it be like a 7940HS? I think it shares the die with the 8700G which runs at 65W.

- jauntywundrkind 3y agoThese numbers are broadly lies now. Many chips regularly exceed their TDP. Here's Tomshardware's review showing an 81W power consumption for the chip for a cpu only load. https://www.tomshardware.com/pc-components/cpus/amd-ryzen-7-8700g-cpu-review/2 https://www.tomshardware.com/pc-components/cpus/amd-ryzen-7-... And that only begins to dig in. I was asking about overclocking, which is going beyond the base TDPs. Here's the 8700G's 780M gpu hitting 156 watts on overclock, for the same die: https://www.tomshardware.com/pc-components/gpus/amds-radeon-780m-integrated-graphics-hits-315ghz-in-ryzen-7-8700g-overclocking-test-37-faster-on-average-with-igpu-and-memory-overclock https://www.tomshardware.com/pc-components/gpus/amds-radeon-... I highly highly highly encourage blowing away any thinking that a chip says it's TDP is X watts so that's what we'd get. This chip has been seen in the wild drinking vastly vastly more power if given the chance & settings to. I think my question still stands, is there any binning or real difference that would keep a Z1 Extreme from doing similarly? Or are we just bound by how much power we can put in and how much heat we can take away from the Z1 Extremes out there?
