Bikram Yoga. The ThinkPad X380 Yoga steps back into the limelight, this time with a less powerful processor. Despite the reduction in clock speed, the i5 variant still sweats under pressure. This and other small shortcomings make for a good package with some small flaws.

Hey, just wondering, is the TB3 port in this laptop 4 lane or just 2x? It's really hard to find clear info on this anywhere...
@Martin Guy:
X1 and P series have TB3 with PCIe x4, the rest of the Thinkpads have x2. Look up Thunderbolt controllers and you'll be able to readily identify for most laptops.
I can not confirm the cpu test results.
I checked my x380 Yoga i5-8250U (20LH000RMS) with Cinebench R15.0 and it scored always around 300 points or less (with a package temperature mostly around only 59 °C). The Thinkpad was on AC and with newest drivers and BIOS (R0SET32W 1.16).
In HWiNFO64 PL1 Power Limit is only 7W, way below the TDP of 15W (PL2 is 17W).
I tried to enable 15W for PL1 with Intel XTU and with ThrottleStop. However, it was impossible to change it. Also, no differences in Cinebench or HwiNFO.
