The performance of the i5 on Lenovo is limited by power (PL1) while on dell the i5 is limited by temperature as it cannot sustain the value of PL1. XPS review was confusing at this point to indicate this, but sustained power is ~30W.
The difference in the PL1 level from the factory is only -2W for Dell, but the processor speed in the CBR15 is immediately lower by -25-26% - average sustained 1655 points vs. average sustained 1210 with same 1240P! How is this possible if the review is claims that Dell's sustained PL1 level is only 2W less than that of Lenovo Yoga? It cannot be physically. How can the processor even in PL2 mode consume more and close to the PSU limit - this is also fantastic, but I see this in the review of Huawei D16 2022!
