What is the C-State Residency of each core and the package? Any tips for finding out what might cause the drain? Perhaps the 16GB RAM is suspect? Or maybe just the CPU (it's an i7-4800MQ with a 47W TDP). Doubt it, I'm not sure what memory you have, but even if you have DDR3 I still wouldn't expect > 5W due to memory. My guess is you have bad GPU or CPU Residency. Maybe you have a misbehaving device. Wout.
