Laptop Core i9-10980HK CPU has a power allowance of 135 Watts
Last week Intel unleashed a lot of info on the Comet Lake-based laptop processors. However, when you zoom in on the specifications a bit further, you're going to stumble into some remarkable things. The documentation shows that Intel set a maximum power limit of 135W on its Core i9-10980HK processor for notebooks.
Now, the reality is that this level of consumption will likely never be reached due to power target limits, but 107W, when all cores are under load consistently and simultaneously, is a given fact for the 8-core part. Btw it is labeled as being a 45 Watt TDP mobile processor. Add to that the GPU power consumption btw, so you're looking at 200~250 Watts with an RTX 2080 or something in that genre.
New information also has become available on the Thermal Velocity Boost, which confused many people as it is yet another boost mode, further limited on temperature. But basically, it looks great to show 5+ GHz as a label on a box.
So Thermal Velicity Boost raises the clock boost frequency on a single thread by 100MHz if the processor temperature is between 65C and 85C, however, if the temperature is below 65C, that value is 200MHz. So the reality of the 5.3 GHz Turbo boost is simple, it is on a single thread core and the advertised 5.3GHz is achieved only when the CPU is below 65c, which we think would be rare with a laptop CPU and it's limited cooling. BTW after 85 Degrees C that turbo will be 5.1 GHz single core.
I do feel all the turbo's and related power/temp targets are becoming a huge confusing flurry just to mention that frequency on the box, which is good for sales and showing muscle. Real-world numbers will be different. It's still, of course, an 8-core part in the 5 GHz range, which is an amazing value for mobile all by itself.

I switched from Intel to AMD and of course have now a way more powerful pc, from 8 to 24 cores but still...with 4°C outside at 4AM my living room was at 27°C tonight....no heating of course just a threadripper...I never had that with a 9900k but it's lowest power wasn't 80Watts non stop ! and it didn't go up to 280-340Watts either...people need to stop fantasizing about AMD, they are efficient yes but also more powerful so in the end they are way hotter than Intel way way way it's at least like having two Intels running, it's that bad
I would wait to see a complete review of an AMD laptop before thinking anything bad about intel, AMD this far in my experience is completely unable to handle idle aka most of what you do on a laptop, watching videos typing documents or surfing the web is idle as far as I'm concerned...
So basically a 200W AMD processor is better at heating a room than a 1000W space heater is. You know, sometimes I wonder why AMD doesn't just make space heaters, they seem to be really efficient at it.
Or do you actually believe anyone on this forum is stupid enough to believe your ridiculous statement?
