That's because the R7 is tapped out around 65-100W depending on the task. Beyond that no amount of power draw is scaling with any workload linearly, you'd need 4/8 more cores to make sense above those levels. This also why ADL or RPL can scale beyond 150W in some cases ~ because they have the extra cores that can be fed. With the R7 you're just pumping juice without getting much in return, if anything at all. It's probably already tapped out to max core clocks as well.whereas the R7 uses most of its higher power headroom for more voltage after a certain point
