Hi all, just wanted to comment on here so I can track the thread more
easily. I have the exact same issues and installed my
replacement on Sunday night. Testing immediately after install resulted in a 15,600-ish score which I was personally happy with.
Re-testing just yesterday and today, my score has dropped down to 14,800 on the 16th, to today’s score of 14,500.
Someone at Framework really needs to take note of this issue. In the meantime, I may look to source some PTM7950 and try lapping the heatsink like some of you have.
EDIT: I’d like to also add that Core 4 is also the hottest core in my case, I’m currently hitting 100c on it and my package power sits at about 40w as of today. On the first day of my replacement I was getting about 56w during a cinebench R23 run.
