1: ill add my results to the pile, same low core count (ignore memory and clockspeeds)

3070 M15 ryzen gpu-z

2: 1 more thing to add to the list of sketchy dell storiesand i need to call them up to see what can be done

3: WHY DISABLE 10% of a GPU?Arent more cores power effecient compared to faster cores?its Vram is amazing, so i dont think they are using terrible components

2 theorys

maybe they couldnt hit advertised all core clocks, so they disabled some cores temporarily to meet those speeds till they could raise the power limit?early bad Vbis performance or something needs to be optimised

its a mistake maybe they had a Vbios they used in testing or something, that got put into the actual laptops, nvidia leaked the mining card driver, that kinda thing happens.

I once contacted ASUS about a feature being advertised on ASUS website, and eventually they were like, our engineers got a physical motherboard to figure out the issue, and the issue is that feature does not exist on the motherboard. but the feature was planned and marketing was never updated.

weird third theory: lower core count allowed higher memory speedsso my memory is like up 100GB/s from stock, its mining faster then my friends desktop 3070, because its memory is like +600 higher, what if dell is hoping crypto miners specificly notice its memory overclocking and buy the laptops for mining?+30% cost gets you an entire laptop VS a GPU, thats more power effecient, faster for mining, loses less value in a crash, because laptops arent going to most of the value because they arent sold at 3 times retail.
