There are absolutely laptop configurations where a lower tier cpu with lower cores for example like an i7 can outperform a higher tier one like an i9 because of thermal and power headroom that allow the lower core counts to run unthrottled longer.

No.

Most use cases are characterized by small bursts of performance with alot of idle time while the user reads or constant load until completion. Neither of those benefit from what you are asking for.

In a thermally limited application like a laptop OEM’s will ALWAYS boost as high as they can based on thermal and power headroom until they cannot. The alternative is 10% the performance you get now. Even the Apple chips do the same but with a wildly different thermal headroom to thermal load equation than we are used to.

My 13900k precision work station at work running win 11 freezes when I open the little WiFi/bluetooth/whatever bar by the clock for about 1-3seconds.

You could put anything running windows 11 next to anything 10 years old running non windows and the older pc will be snappier.

This post smells of bs.
