World's CRAZIEST 5GHz LAPTOP

Im thinking Univesrities might buy them for their PhD student who need the computing power but also have to be on the move a lot and can't lug around a ultra big rig everywhere

In that case i would look into a sort of farm to do the calculations for you. Depending what you do the computing power might be so gigantic it doesn't matter if you have 4, 8 or 12 cores. 

If you want my attention, quote meh! D: or just stick an @samcool55 in your post :3

Spying on everyone to fight against terrorism is like shooting a mosquito with a cannon

That is true, however what about if you happen to be at a place which doesn't have the best internet line; ie hotels don't tend to have good internet download speeds

I don't get why you would need such a CPU in a gaming laptop, especially with only one mobile 1080. It would make more sense to make it a business laptop and put a high-end Quadro in it.

What is actually supposed to go here? Some people put their specs, others put random comments or remarks about themselves or others, and there are a few who put cryptic statements.

You can do a lot with a high end CPU besides gaming. External graphics upgrade in the future may take advantage of the high clock speeds, ... but Thunderbolt 3 is a bottleneck.

Im all for Linus doing crazy things , but atleast do it properly.

 

I mean come on, its still being aircooled and badly at that.

 

At the very least you should have tried something like a universal waterblock and some heatsinks for the vrms.

That would have achieved far better results whilst being just as 'usable' ..or rather 'unusable' .

 

Still, it did show how important it is to replace the crap thermal compound laptops come with.

I usually would say that it's the fault of the manufacturer of the laptop, but tbh this cpu kicks out such a stupid amount of heat i'm pointing at intel for this one.

Who thinks a cpu that can kick out up to 160W of heat by default belongs in a laptop?!

This is not new 

 

I’ve seen the Intel HK processors run supremely hot in pretty much every gaming laptop that has it.

 

The TDP is too high
