They are not 15w IGPUs they go up to 50w, and if you had one youd know it really doesnt make a difference. They hit a hard wall at 25w.

But keep going...
The 25W is a design constraint by the laptop manufacture to limit power and heat in their device.
Basically they are selling you half a car when you paid for the entire thing.

It's not limited to 25w man, I can push it up to 100, although it throttles at 80. The problem is, performance DOESNT scale. The IGPU hits max clocks at around 25-30, further power doesn't do anything
