Not really. Intel tries to push the thermal envelop as much as it can for as long as it can. While the CPU is rated at 45W, TB actually pushes it to 70W+ for short intervals.

On Windows, instead of disabling TB, I just limit the CPU TDP at 40W via throttle-stop.

TB just makes the laptop loud and hot even when the added performance is not required.

As a reference, my laptop is a Ryzen 4800H and I only hear the fans... Well, never. I even have the laptop set to "agressive cooling" which turns an LED red indicating I am not being green.

I was using the laptop to mine verium during this past winter in the US south to keep my hands and arms warm in lieu of running HVAC more. I never bothered to switch it back to normal or "quiet" mode.

I take my first statement back, running blender benchmarks or some other benchmark that tries to tap out the GPU tends to make a bit of noise, but normal gaming and stuff like handbrake or whatever I can't hear anything.
