I scored 18 036 in Fire Strike
Intel Core i7-10875H, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 (notebook) x 1, 32768 MB, 64-bit Windows 10}

also this is my test with stock drivers and perf. profile with everything on max and auto fan
I see 3Dmark says your Drivers are not approved. I think you have a pretty old Nvidia drivers, that are not supporting fully RTX 30 Laptop series.Taken a break from playing with my new Defiance 15" to run firestrike for the good of the list! hope this helps.
All stock, performance mode on http://3dmark.com/3dm/59665669
Updated drivers, pushed out an extra 100 points

My new Bench with studiodrivers and Max-fan this time
I think I'll keep both of your results on the rank, it makes sense for people to know the difference between switching the iGPU on or offhttp://www.3dmark.com/fs/25181481
Ok back in topic. 😅
After flashed the BIOS 1.09 for the Ionico and have activated the dGPU-only mode (aka MUX) today, here the new score for me: 22366
My past best before, with Optimus was 21933. That's not that much more, but being everything equal I am happy.
Max fans, -105 mV, 120W CPU powerlimits, Coolingpad, as usual.
PS: Timespy is now 10522 for whom may be interested.
It is now updated, @Macco26 . I also took advantage of the unusual snow in April to run the benchmark one last time with cold ambient temperatures after having repasted my laptop with Noctua NT-H2. I finally got over 21k graphics score by sustaining higher average clocks while still keeping GPU temperature about 1°C lower than with stock paste.Slightly improved my Firestrike score (please amend the past score in the OP):

What changed:
I've installed new Tongfang Control center 3.9.18 which does allow to disable Dynamic Boost and give all the juice to the GPU no matter what. This means it can boost up to 140W without any regulation of how much wattage the CPU is delivering.
I'll keep this profile only for brief benchmarks, but it could help also for games who requires consistent CPU wattage > 45W yet you want your RTX 3070 to deliver up to 140W no matter what. Good to keep a lot of ventilation if prolonged this way.
Rest is as usual: dGPU only MUX, 2933 Mhz DRAM overclock, Max fans + 120W CPU PL, active cooling pad.
(undervolt is at -115mV as at -120 I found some instability at idling or very low utilization).
PS: I can't give publicly the new CC link. As this is not provided by PCS itself. But it's official Tongnfang manufacturing nonetheless, no hacks involved.
If your overall power consumption exceeds the wattage of your power brick, aren't there any chances that the battery will be used to provide the additional power required?Slightly improved my Firestrike score (please amend the past score in the OP):
