Not really going overboard, it's using Max Turbo technology (something consoles do, but differently, and they never come any where near 4.0 nor with more than 8 cores). Also, there's a big difference between 4.10GHz and 3.2GHz (console rumored) clock speeds. Can't just write these things off as non factors, because they are some of many reasons why the PC generally stomps consoles in a number of areas. As for 'coded to the metal', that's a statement that has always been thrown towards PC (laptop or otherwise), and much of the time, it doesn't mean what people want it to. The PC looks/performs better, despite those zillion configurations (PCs weaker than consoles may not, but they too are few and far between more often than not). You can't just code to the metal and 'edge out' an advantage. More to it than that. Thus, you'd have to know the specs of these devices before proclaiming they will beat out a Notebook of that caliber. |
We re talking about a intel cpu inside a low powered laptop.
Intel i7 10510U has a Max boost of 4.9ghz, but its base clock speed is 1.8ghz when its running max load with 8 cores (15-25watts).
The fact that it can run a single core, for a short time at 4.9ghz doesnt do much while gameing.
Where most of the time, it ll probably be sub 3ghz.
Your the one saying theres a big differnce between 4.1ghz and 3.2ghz... yes there is, if its sustained speeds.
Which it isnt, when its max turbo, and intel in laptops.
"As for 'coded to the metal', that's a statement that has always been thrown towards PC (laptop or otherwise), and much of the time, it doesn't mean what people want it to."
Because people with desktop PCs, can throw 250-300watt GPUs onto 200watts CPUs, and overpower any advantage codeing to metal will bring, by brute force. Same isnt true about laptops, which is what this thread is about.
