With the RawTherapee RAW photography software the Core Ultra 7 165U trailed the Core Ultra 155H while continuing to burn through power particularly in the multi-threaded workloads... Either due to the Lenovo platform design or some odd behavior out of the laptop.

The Framework 13 and Framework 16 laptops continued to deliver the best performance in the creator workloads.

I certainly didn't go into this expecting to see the Core Ultra 7 165U do so poorly on power efficiency compared to the Core Ultra 7 155H. If not a Lenovo platform issue, it's also possible some Linux issue could be at play.
