Argh! The battery also has a huge effect on available power. A genuine (but well worn) item allows 40W. A Newish clone only 20 ish. Even with an i5 (also 37W) it limits power to 20W. The dock drops power very, very slightly. I'm using slim batteries, the newish one allegedly 5200mAH. I Don't beleeve it. TDP of 37/40W is hard locked on the on the motherboard for sure as I've played with every UEFA variable now with BIOS from A02 to A24. So with Dell battery, 16GB of 14200 DDR3L we are getting 960 and 3336. https://browser.geekbench.com/v5/cpu/14071143

More info - I am getting about 40W and better Geekbench scores with making sure there are no updates or antivirus activities. Single core 946 Multicore 3363 These are better than a typical 8th gen i5 with 4 cores. I have also noticed the Pro 3X severly limits power back down to 20W and consequently lower marks (and temperatures). 135W direct to the laptop is much better.

Using Throttlestop, --80mV gives a BSOD. -50 appears OK, but makes no difference in terms of benchmark. Anyone figured how to allow 47W, the BIOS variables above don't seem to change these fundamentals. The one for RAID 0 clearly works. I'm on A24 BIOS. The cooling fan definitely won't handle it and maybe not the supply devices either!

Hiya, sorry i'm late sir! I bought my 6440 for a very good price a couple years ago but haven't used it much. I've had a tidyup, my desktop is having a holiday and the Dell is my daily driver now. I have RAID SATA (Stripe) via the mini slot and 2.5" drives with very good results. The i7-2712MQ was also working well. Since Haswell are cheap and available, I got an i7 4900MQ. The results are as predicted in post 1, many pages and years above! i.e. the same. 95W PSU does not have enough oomph for full power but 135W allows 37W TDP. I think this may be the source of some of the issues in the most recent posts. Geekbench 5 results (both CPUs identical) Single core 826 Multicore 2602. CPUZ Bench stress sees steady 3.9G on all cores and lots of heat! The 95W PSU throttle around 20W, 70% Utilisation and around 2G on clock speed. Hoping to get the pics up soon.... when I'm out of probabation.
