Very much doubt that Cerny stated both will run at max speeds at the same time, all the time. ;)
Otherwise the technology implemented designed to share power/thermal balancing is a waste of time, money, resources and oxygen to explain.

No, it won't run at max speeds all the time, but they can.

It was mentioned later that much higher speeds with stability was feasible but as we all know the higher you go the more unstable things become and it's not always a matter of now it's stable now it isn't, so  to ensure optimal  stability over the long term they pegged it at those speeds and who knows those pegged speeds might even be under the optimal to give some head room. Cerny mentioned throttling if it occured would be minor around !0% or less for the duration of the spike.

Pointing out, it's not the frequency that changes by 10%.  He was talking about a 10% power decrease can be facilitated by a ~2% drop in frequency.

Although power is constant, frequency is determined by the workload.

Thanks for the info I realised after writing that it seemed wrong have edited it.
