edit; for an example I have the i7 8750h + 1070maxQ from Gigabyte Aero 15, it normally cooks the CPU so high it'll begin to throttle my CPU to a lower speed, but by then my GPU is also throttling to much slower performance because the CPU and GPU share the same heatsink. if I cap my CPU to 3.5ghz or 28 watts it'll let my GPU scream since it allows more room for the GPU to dump it's heat into the heatsink instead of the CPU saturating it.
you can go one step further and use MSI Afterburner (it works on non MSI GPUs) and cap the wattage of your GPU so that you get solid performance without it feeling like you've got a piece of Chernobyl on your lap.

I think Intel's thread director (new on the big.little stuff) controls everything in 12th gen +. Days of tweaking for battery are definitely over for intel cpus.

so, possible fix in the future? also I don't ever plan on using windows 11 I'm going to stick with 10 anyways but the BIOS issue still remains for me. those can be flashed with unlocked BIOS however, but it's annoying that it even has to be done. at least it CAN be done theoretically...
