Can this processor work at 15W TDP with turning off half the cores and decreasing the frequency.
If yes, will it be slower than i7-7500U if running at 15W TDP and by how much %.
I'm trying to decide whether to buy a t470(256GB SSD, i7-7500U, intel 620 GPU) or t470p(500SSD, i7-7700HQ, nvidia 940Mx)
The price difference is marginal(15%) but the specs difference is big
I will be running Ubuntu 16.04 LTS(work os, programming or 3D rendering in the future) and windows 10(casual gaming, battery life not important) on it
The nvidia GPU can be turned off so it should not affect battery life
Thank you.
