Every guide to undervolting that will work with this laptop always involves disabling TurboBoost. And you really don't gain all that much battery life.You were saying that undervolting is not worth it for the little gain in battery life because there is a huge performance hit. Sorry, but that is just not true.
Undervolting also has nothing to do with disabling TurboBoost. You can actually reach higher clocks and longer boost clocks because you are not as thermally limited. That's why you will see higher benchmark scores when using a lower voltage.
Sure, as an additional step to save energy you can disable TurboBoost, but that is something entirely different. I tried linking to someone doing a better job of explaining things than me, but unfortunately it got removed by a moderator.
The big hit in battery life with this set up is the power management for the NVMe, which simply does not exist yet.
