I know it must depend on the number of CPU and GPU cores you have and the task at hand.
I have the 10/16 core version and some articles suggest that power consumption peaks at 50 something watts with intensive tasks that stress both the CPU and the GPU (like playing Shadow of the Tomb Raider).

So I reckon with a 96W power brick I should have 40-45W to spare? Can anyone confirm or disprove these assumptions?

Interested in this mostly since I wonder if the laptop can drive an external monitor that requires 30-45W power delivery.
