i7 Iris 540 benchmarking showing 60% over i5 520

[MOFO]

I'm also ready to order a i7 model, just holding out to see if there are any thermal issues like the SP3 i7.
I'm not expecting any miracles but if the SP4 i7 can keep them in check without severely downclocking under load then I'm jumping on board!
Hoping people that get them soon can provide some info.

Well it seems the i7 still throttles but its power throttling and not thermal, undervolting with XTU does help but still it's a pretty big jump in performance over the i5.

See my previous post. If the GPU is not throttling it's just TDP limitation. If both CPU and GPU throttle, it's 100% thermal throttling.
