Dell XPS 9500 CPU and GPU Throttling Test Thermals (AC Plugged In) - Best Performance (Final Test)

Summary

Key Points

• —The video conducts a thermal and performance benchmark of a Dell XPS 15 laptop (i7-10750H, GTX 1650 Ti) using its AC adapter with Cinebench. 0:23
• —The system, configured for "best performance mode," utilizes 107 watts for the CPU and 68 watts for the GPU from the AC adapter. 1:31
• —The GPU also reached 70 degrees Celsius, consuming 60-63 watts, while the CPU package wattage dropped to 45W during the single-core test. 4:42
• —During the single-core Cinebench test, CPU core speeds reached an impressive 4500-4788 MHz, surpassing speeds observed when running on battery power alone. 6:38
• —The single-core CPU benchmark yielded a score of 187, and the OpenGL graphics test achieved 122 frames per second, demonstrating competitive performance. 9:29
• —Remarkably, the laptop remained quiet throughout the intensive tests, with no audible fan noise. 11:40
• —Localized heating was observed, particularly on the right side of the laptop, which the presenter attributed to potential battery charging or internal component placement. 12:31
• —Despite the performance boost, CPU temperatures quickly escalated to 95 degrees Celsius, triggering thermal throttling on multiple cores. 13:23
• —The presenter confirms that similar CPU clock speed boosts (over 4000 MHz) are also experienced during demanding real-world tasks like video rendering and uploading. 13:34
• —The video concludes with the presenter's intention to return the XPS 15 and consider an XPS 17 for future testing, inviting viewer recommendations. 13:59
