    I am looking into a new laptop which will be used for gaming and productivity as well as media consumption. My question here is, does the 9550 thermal throttle? Can I play a demanding game like Cities Skyline or Witcher 3 without watching a slideshow? Thanks in advance :D

    PS: I've read numerous reviews and I've received very conflicting information as some reviews post temps as low as 75*C whereas others claim 95*C under load.
