How in the world, is a 1.3kg laptop supposed to cool a 115W cpu, like what even is the point of putting something so powerfull, in a laptop so light? I understand that the base power is 20W (which will still get quite hot), but 115W?
The new framework 13 with intel core ultra 125h/155h, 115W seems like a lot of heat, i was talking about the weight, because the higher it is, the more heat it can dissipate. My mom has a laptop with the 7735hs, which idles at above 50 degrees, which i think is insane, and this new CPU supposedly consumes even more power, so that’s why I’m wondering how will it even work. Also what about the battery life?
115W is the peak turbo rating. This is the most heat it can ever produce at the absolute highest turbo frequency.
You won’t be able to sustain 115W on anything but the very largest gaming laptops with multiple fans, and even then, not for long.
The CPU will be able to boost to those power levels for as long as the cooling will allow it (think seconds), then it will throttle to save itself and conserve battery.

Do we know what TDP they run at in the FW13? Many chips can be set for various max TDP options, depending on the application.
Weight, conductivity, airflow, heatsink surface area, etc., all come into play. Still, I’m sure the FW13 wouldn’t do well with 115W continuous. But I’m also sure that number won’t be continuous.

The others were 28W. I can’t confirm what it is for this generation but I strongly suspect it’s also 28W.

115W is likely impossible. As the power can’t supply it
