On the topic of undervolting, I run Bootcamp with a 2019 MBP 16 (i9) and it cannot play games like Rocket League without discharging despite being plugged into a 100W adapter. I have even tried disabling Turbo Boost. Incredibly disappointing.

Yeah Intel mobile CPUs have been incredibly underwhelming in terms of efficiency and these premium portables are cramming overpowered HW into inadequate thermal/power solutions - Apple isn't the only one at fault here.

In the Windows land the only hope seems to be AMD while Apple has me hoping for the A14 performance.
