Power Consumption: Load 64.65 / 104.1 Watt
Can someone please explain this to me? How can it consume 64-104 Watts if it should consume 55W at maximum?
Ok... I forgot that this is not the power consumption of the CPU, but of the whole device, which includes RAM, SSD, Fan.
But still one thing remains unclear: why is the Core Ultra 155H at 45W if Notebookcheck claims on their own CPU-page it's only a 28W chip???
Someone on Reddit posted the following (though regarding another CPU):
The default spec of the 1165G7 is a PL1 of 28W and a PL2 of 35W but OEMs can change it to fit the heat dissipation capabilities of their devices or some other reason.Seriously?? Why then categorize these chips as U, H, HS, etc. if OEMs can change the value to anything they want?? This makes any fair comparison much more difficult, because you cannot just take the suffix as value but have to manually check the individual configuration. They should just remove this useless suffix s*** altogether....
