Hello,

I was considering purchasing the Aspire E5-552G laptop from John Lewis in the UK as advertised here:

http://www.johnlewis.com/acer-aspire-e5-552g-laptop-amd-fx-8gb-ram-1tb-15-6-grey/p2297350?kpid=2297350

 

If you look at the user review by "Chris3672", the user states that the power delivered to the CPU is capped at 15w only.

 

Please can someone confirm this? One method of doing this is by running the computer with a "balanced" power profile in windows then using CPU-Z and HWMonitor to check the overall power delivered to the system and a breakdown of power consumption per cpu core.

 

Also can another check be performed with the power profile set to "High Performance" and then checking as stated above using the same or different utilities?

 

Kind Regards.

    According to AMD, the 35 Watt configuration scores 12% (Cinebench single-thread) and 15% (Cinebench Multi-threaded) higher compared to the previous Steamroller generation (most likely the AMD FX-7600P). If configured to 15 Watt instead, the gains are higher (40% to 55%) compared to the 19 Watt Kaveri FX-7500 APU.
