Yeah but I don't think that's the reason for not max clocking the system. The reason is the undocked performance can only hit a certain amount of battery life at a certain clock and the docked mode is kinda hogtied to that as well because the docked performance can't be too much higher than undocked. |
There's no reason why docked mode should be limited to only 1.8x (GPU wise) of undocked (as it currently is) - docked mode has nothing to do with battery. GPU in T239 is apparently maxed out at 1.4Ghz, so even going to 1.3GHz from 1GHz would see quite an uplift in docked performance. And yes, I'm fairly certain those fans under the dock could've provided that and boost to CPU as well. But then dock would cost a bit more, power supply bit better, their binning would probably need to be much tighter, which translates to loss of profit...so yeah, no higher clocks.
