Intel Said to be Launching 55 W Alder Lake-HX Mobile CPUs Next Week

157W CPU in a laptop. Where has this world come to? That is like an entire laptop power usage and here we have CPU only.
Obviously it wont stay 157W for long. I'd expects seconds but still. 157W? What is wrong with you Intel?

Just an FYI for people who are upset at this:

Laptops with discrete GPUs are already capable of cooling 200W+ with a shared heatsink between cpu and gpu.

The hardest part with cpus is getting the heat out of the chip. If that wasn't a limitation, they could easily run at 200 Watts when the gpu is not in use. What this likely means, is that these chips will be fully unlocked in heavier and thicker laptops, probably with advanced cooling and the use of liquid metal. In combined loads they'll likely settle at their base (55 W) tdp, like they do now.

Finally, if you don't like it, you could always limit the power output with tools (XTU, TT) or just straight out not buy it.

HX models will cut the graphic down to 1/3 and increase CPU core count up to 8 P-cores compare to H models.
AMD mobile will completely lose in multi threaded. But very high power draw will be big drawback to Intel.

AMD mobile will lose for the 0.1ms that the laptop can sustain 157w boost, then once the CPU has to go down to 55w it's close the gap again, without all the fan noise.

LOL.
You are missing the point here. It is not about what you like or dislike and thus buy or not buy. It is about the idea of a laptop as a mobile device with enough juice to sustain work longer with no interruptions. In a controlled thermal environment. With components that will not fry your hands while you hold them on your laptop.
There is a limit to a cooling like you said and capabilities for a case to get the hot air out and cold in. 157W just for a CPU is ridiculous. Not to mention there are other parts like GPU to cool.
It is also about raising the problem and see peoples takes on it and awareness. People say competition is a good thing and I agree. Somehow, this time around the competition is going in the wrong direction with this race to which CPU is going to be hotter. Started with desktops and now moving to laptops.
Limit it? You buy a product advertised as 'this is what it can do' and then it turns out that it can't do that or you have to limit it to make it work properly? That is anti-consumer thinking and yet you are a consumer right? Well, you tell me what you sound like.
