This can be alleviated by manually setting a higher priority for the CB15 task in the task manager, but this hotfix does not work with our CB15 loop test. Therefore, no CB15 loop test and CB23 instead.
The PL1/PL2 levels are/were in the text. They are now also in the spec sheet.
Why don't other laptops have this problem either with W10 or with W11? If this is a clear problem due to Lenovo drivers, it should have been investigated more fully. By itself, W10 does not hinder full performance in any way, otherwise the test would not be possible on all laptops.
I didn't find PL1/Pl2 in the processor section, even in the text, that's why I made a remark.
In any case, the 6850H is already obsolete. its performance at a PL1 of 54W is unacceptably low for a 2023 laptop, and the price doesn't match the capabilities.
And the question is when will you make reviews of the new legions from Lenovo, which are already being sold with might and main everywhere?
Please pay maximum attention to the possibilities of manual control of coolers by the user, which is gradually becoming a standard in decent laptops. And also explicitly indicate the threshold for turning on coolers depending on the temperature of the processor cores. As well as on the real capabilities of the ports (i.e. check manufacturers' statements in practice) and work in the sRGB profile on panels with an extended color gamut - if there is no normal sRGB (Rec.709) emulation, there will be obvious problems with either faded colors or poisonous colors.
And a request to all authors - to publish a screenshot of AIDA64 Cache & Memory Benchmark where you can see the pumping speeds in caches of all levels and their latency. Because there are bad things going on with the latest series of Intel processors....
