More performance often means that you can throttle it to a greater degree and hopefully still get more performance at a similar or better efficiency.
Yeah you are not wrong, but why have a more expensive chip just to throttle it, better to keep the cost of the deck down so more people can afford it.
Isn't it what Apple is doing? They downclock some of their components to extend battery life and make their machines run less noisy, which in my opinion is a clever move. As much as I hate Apple, I have to admit that their hardware is good.
Idk man, their laptops are pretty over engineered imo. Bad cooling just so they can get rid of vents, touchbar that holds important system commands that just crashes..
But mostly they get better efficiency because there's no hardware variation to account for. And even then, their mx processors were causing a shit ton of compatibility issues with some of the most popular mac software. I would assume a lot of those are ironed out by now though
