Most laptops do have the barest minimum amount of cooling to dissipate their TDP, but in my laptop there's some thermal headroom. Once the fan gets going at maximum RPM and the laptop power throttles to 22 watts, the temperature stabilizes around 85 to 90 degrees. The maximum temperature it reaches before thermal throttling is 100 degrees, so I think it could most likely handle 25 watts sustained and up to 40 watts in bursts, at least in the winter.
Built into the panel.
And I've looked into removing IDTF to try and increase the power limits previously, it doesn't work because the thing that's causing the power throttling is the embedded controller, and there's no safe way to modify that thing. I've seen some tricks involving altering the IMON slope in the BIOS setup to report a fake, lowered power consumption to the EC to trick it into not throttling, but I've never seen anyone get it to work on an Intel G series processor. I've seen it work successfully on 8th gen and older U series processors, pretty much all H series processors, and 12th gen and newer U series processors, but infuriatingly not on any CPU carrying the G suffix.
Yeah, unfortunately it was a touchscreen panel. Also runs at 60Hz whereas those newer motherboards I was talking about came in laptops that had 120Hz panels. I don't know for sure if the refresh rate really matters, but I decided not to chance it given they also weren't touchscreens like mine was.
And yes, the Iris Xe G7, particularly the one I'm getting with 96 execution units, can often compete with an MX350. But the laptop I have won't be running the thing to its full potential due to some design choices that Dell made. For some reason they've firmware limited the RAM to running at 2666MT/s despite having a CPU rated for 3200MT/s and shipping with a RAM stick containing a 3200MT/s CL22 JEDEC profile. An iGPU especially suffers from slower system RAM given it lacks any dedicated VRAM to pull from.
And also it'll only be running the CPU at a PL1 of 22 Watts instead of the maximum 28 Watts advertised by Intel. Same goes for the CPU I currently have, the i5-1035G1. I've inspected the temperatures while it power throttles to 22 watts after the PL2 timer runs out, and it seems there does exist some thermal headroom to maybe increase the power limit a bit. I've looked into BIOS modding to check if it might be plausible to alter the PL1, but I was unable to find a single example anywhere on the internet of someone successfully altering the EC enforced power limits on a laptop containing either an Ice Lake U or a Tiger Lake UP3 CPU. Looks like these things are pretty locked down compared to laptops with Intel's H series CPUs.
This is very good advice, and that really sucks since for a lot of people work makes up a whole-ass third to over half of their waking hours while simultaneously cannibalizing most if not all remaining energy to socialize outside of work
However, other laptop manufacturers have done this somewhat. I have an HP pavilion laptop that I motherboard swapped because the original one had some issues, so I replaced it with an 8th gen i7 motherboard. It was a noticable improvement over the 7th gen i5 motherboard that it came with originally, but it ran really hot. (yes I had the correct cooler, it just ran really hot even with the i5 and I couldn't get it to undervolt).
Yes, definitely sometimes you can get away with swapping motherboards on certain laptops despite the fact that such upgrades aren't explicitly supported. In fact, I'm soon doing this on a Dell Inspiron. Original specs were an i5-1035G1, 8GB of single channel memory, and 256GB NVMe SSD. Since then I've upgraded it to 16GB dual channel memory and a 1TB NVMe SSD.
Currently waiting for a higher end SKU of the same model's motherboard to arrive, I found it on ebay for a steal. It's got an i7-1165G7 with Iris Xe G7 integrated graphics. Based on benchmarks I've seen the new CPU will get around 25% better single core performance. But the new iGPU is going to be a massive 200%+ uplift. That's still dogshit compared to even lowish end dedicated GPUs, but good enough to run the indie games I play smoothly.
Going up a whole generation and stack tier is pretty good for an unsupported mod like this. Though I'd like to see such a thing become explicitly supported so that I could, for instance, eventually upgrade a few generations at a time, maybe even to a motherboard with a dedicated GPU installed after waiting a couple generations for the price to come down. I did find motherboards with 12th and 13th gen Intel CPUs on newer Inspirons that still retain a very similar chassis, but upon looking into those ones I found they wouldn't have been compatible with my laptop's display despite it being the correct size and resolution. Without the manufacturers explicitly doing the engineering to add in support for non-original hardware, eventually things just cease to be compatible despite the fact they easily could have been.
lotta people rock phones that come cheap or free with their phone plan or used last gen type stuff.
Same here, I've been using the same iPhone since 2017. Got it as a gift from my parents, and since then I've seen no reason to get a new one because it still works entirely fine for my purposes: calling, texting, email, and light web browsing.
Unironically, a relationship between Naruto and Sasuke would have made infinitely more sense than any of the ships that became canon
“Just as no one should be in a federal prison solely due to the use or possession of marijuana, no one should be in a local jail or state prison for that reason, either,” Biden said.
Basically implying: "Suffering from addiction to another, harder drug like the dirty fentanyl currently flooding the US as a result of induced demand caused by the war on drugs? Go directly to prison, terrorist scum."
The war on drugs and the prison slavery industry it is tied to has been the biggest and most evil stain on American domestic policy since Jim Crow.
KSP is the best educational game there is in terms of learning to fun gameplay ratio. The physics are simplified, but accurate enough to gain an intuitive understanding of how spacecraft navigate in orbit
Would it start WW3 if Ansarallah managed to "steal" a hypersonic missile from either Russia or China and sunk a US aircraft carrier with it?
I tend to agree. I don't know this guy's background, but he's only 18. It seems very likely to me he was either born in Israel or made to move there as a minor by his family.
He didn't choose to be a settler, he chose to give up his freedom refusing to take part in the genocide. His politics may be horrendous and incoherent, but his actions matter infinitely more.
