What is your CPU frequency?
I have the 17 R3 i7 6700HQ processor. It has frequency of 2.6ghz and turboboost upto 3.5ghz as Alienware advertised. Using Intel Extreme Tuning Utility and set the battery mode to HIGH PERFORMANCE. I ran the benchmark and found out this:
My old laptop 17 R2 has i7 4720hq. I remembered it turboboost upto 3.6ghz. And I remember it has a much higher score and was a lot faster. Of course it runs a little hotter and less efficient than the skylake i7 6700hq.
Other benchmarks proves that i7 4720HQ is a lot faster. It's quite ashamed intel focuses on efficency and not performance on the skylake cpu. The truth is, clock for clock the skylake does not have 20% advantage over the haswell as a lot of laptop companies advertised.
I am wondering what are your frequency and score? Does the i7 6820HK in the 17 R3 really capable of turboboost up to 4.1ghz?

Hey man, please tell me as you showed the screenshot of i7 6700hq in the intel xtu, can you please tell me, was there no overcook available for the turbo speeds? Could the slider not be extended further to increase the clock speeds beyond stock? Thanks in advance :)
