Question SK hynix P41 2TB SSD low performance

[Super Spartan]

I just got his SSD but I am not getting anywhere near the scores of review sites. I am using it on my Alienware m15 R7 laptop which has an AMD CPU and does support PCIe 4 running on Windows 11 22H2 using the default NVMe drivers that come with Windows.

My CrystalDiskMark score = https://i.postimg.cc/6pKJHLT9/SK-hynix-Platinum-P41-2-TB-SSD.png
My 3DMark Storage score = https://i.postimg.cc/02D1dHkW/SK-hynix-Platinum-P41-2-TB-3-DMark-Storage-Benchmark.png

This site (https://www.tweaktown.com/reviews/10110/sk-hynix-platinum-p41-2tb-ssd-the-best-yet/index.html#Synthetic-Benchmarks:-CDM-Anvil-ATTO 1) shows a 96.16 read score for the Random 4K Q1T1 Read / 455 write I’m getting much lower as you see

Also they have a 5026 score in 3DMark Storage Benchmark but I got only 2875

Is it because I am using a laptop and they might be using a desktop? Thoughts?

Probably. Could also be thermal throttling in the laptop with less cooling. Hwinfo can grab the temps while testing.
