Synthetic benchmark results were similar to the recently reviewed Recoil 17 R LC from PCSpecialist. The Intel CPU found in the Razer Blade 16 provides better single core performance and falls behind in multi threaded workloads irrespective of the Core i9-1950HX being a technically superior CPU to the chip found in the comparison system. The overall performance of the Razer Blade 16was held back quite significantly by some quite serious thermal throttling occurring  during CPU intensive workloads in both the custom and balanced profiles. With the custom profile active, up to 6 of the 8 performance cores dipped to 798MHz during testing.
