Mine has very little overclocking room actually, but it's not thermally limited, I doubt yours is either. How are you determining that your part is thermally limited and not silicon limited?

>50% of what? The base clock of that CPU is only 2.2ghz, it'll use ~45W at 2.2ghz which is what it's rated at. If the cooling in your laptop can't support that, it's a problem with the laptop, not the processor. Also

I'm not sure I buy the analysis, for many applications the single threaded performance of a 8700k vs an X5670 is doubled, e.g. ~6000 vs ~2600 in geekbench single threaded. You also can't draw conclusions of single threaded perform

In you believe Intel's tech brief, the move to 10nm vs their current 14nm+++ will: 1) Have somewhat lower peak performance, i.e. peak clock rates are lower and won't surpass 14+++ till 10++. 2) Have ~2.7x higher density 3) Have ~4

I don't understand why people continue to compare laptops with 15W cpus like the Huawei Matebook X Pro or Microsoft Surface Book 2 to laptops with 38/45W CPUs. On CPU intensive workloads an i7-8550U is going to under perform an i7

The Surface Book 2 has a 15W CPU in it, which is the power class of the CPU in a Macbook Air. Unless you have a workload that is highly GPU dependent but makes little use of the CPU, the SB2 and MBP aren't even in the same performance

It's not a matter of accuracy, but precision i.e. low delta-E doesn't matter here. Having bad greyscale tracking / non-flat gamma are what would primarily make this difficult but almost any modern screen is pretty good in the

I was speaking in general, I don't have any dart projects which I believe is what the OP is about. I do have JS projects that I think would be rather ugly if limited to 80 char line length is that is what you are asking.
