Power-hungry chip

Feast your eyes.Image: Intel

Intel is announcing seven new mobile processors. The group, known as the “HX” line, includes two Core i5, three Core i7, and two Core i9 options.

Intel’s 12th Gen mobile chips haven’t disappointed so far. We’ve seen significant performance gains over the previous generation, though battery life has continued to be an area where the company often lags behind Apple and AMD. We don’t necessarily expect the new HX CPUs to buck that trend — these are all about power.

Here’s the other side.Image: Intel

Four of the seven chips here have 16 cores and 24 threads (with eight performance cores and eight efficiency cores). The flagship chip, the Core i9-12950HX, is the real beast. It runs at a base power of 55W, with a maximum turbo power of up to 157W. The performance and efficiency cores have maximum turbo frequencies of 5.0 GHz and 3.6 GHz, respectively, with base frequencies of 2.3 GHz and 1.7GHz, respectively.

The chip is eligible for Intel’s vPro management platform.

Here’s the crew.Image; Intel

Intel is claiming (unsurprisingly) massive performance gains over previous generations. Its internal testing of the Core i9-12900HX (which looks just like the 12950HX on paper but isn’t vPro eligible) shows a 17 percent increase in single-thread performance over last year’s Core i9-11980HK and 64 percent in multi-thread tasks, as well as a wild 81 percent increase in 3D rendering performance.

Now, we do (of course) have leaked benchmarks from these chips, and while they won’t mirror exactly what Intel tested, the results we have don’t look too far off base. We’re looking at some serious mobile power.

Apple, please take note of how specifically this chart is labeled.Image: Intel

Intel also hinted at the laptops these chips will power, and it’s an… interesting bunch. It includes powerful devices like MSI’s GT77 Titan (which will include the 12900HX, according to the charts), Gigabyte’s Aorus 17X, and Asus’ ROG Strix Scar 17 SE. We also know that the 12900HX will appear in Lenovo’s upcoming Legion 7i.

But there are also some ultraportable consumer devices on that slide, including Asus’ Expertbook B6 (a cousin of one of the lightest laptops ever made). That one, we expect, would include one of the more efficient options here.

Here is the family.Image; Intel

It only takes a single glance at the spec sheet to understand that raw power is Intel’s priority here. For many of the laptops on here (for example, the Titan), that makes complete sense. Gaming laptops, in general, are not famous for their incredible battery life.

But these will be very power-hungry chips (especially if the desktop chips are any indication). And while a minuscule lifespan isn’t likely to be a dealbreaker for everyone who’s shopping in the MSI Titan category, it does make such a laptop look less and less attractive compared to a desktop. And all-day battery life does make laptops on the AMD side like the Asus ROG Zephyrus G15 much more viable to double as a personal or work device, which is already a tough sell on many portable Intel-powered machines that are getting less than a few hours.

That makes the Expertbook a particularly interesting choice. The Expertbook is a line that’s been renowned for both its light weight and battery life in the past — the last model we reviewed put up one of the highest battery life scores we have ever seen in a business laptop to date. It’s not exactly the type of device we’d expect to see a chip with desktop power in. Perhaps that indicates that some of these chips will be more efficient than they look, but we’ll have to wait and see as units start to hit shelves.

Here, have more information.Image: Intel

Computex 2022 is right around the corner, and these chips come just in time for a whole bunch of new releases. We already know what companies like Asus and Lenovo are announcing, and there will be more coming in the next few weeks.

CES 2022: Intel says its top mobile Alder Lake Core i9 will beat the Apple M1 Max

Image: Intel

Intel has taken the wraps off its mobile H-series Alder Lake processors at CES 2022, which the chip giant claimed is able to outperform the vaunted Apple M1 Max.

In a chart bearing percentages and without helpful grid lines, Intel has claimed its Core i9-12900HK is able to top Apple’s silicon at power loads above 35 watts, although it also shows the M1 Max is able to operate at much lower wattages, down to around 20 watts, while the i9 peters out around the 30 watt mark.

For completeness, Intel also said an AMD Ryzen 9 5900HX can top the M1 Max at 25 watts, but otherwise has fairly flat performance and is eventually topped by both Apple and Intel 11th and 12th generation silicon.

The company said it was basing its measurement on SPECrate using the best compilers, which means Intel’s ICC for the PC chips and Xcode for Apple, and best memory available.

Under the H-series release of its Alder Lake processors, all of which have base power of 45 watts, Intel has released a pair of i9 chips, and a trio each of i7 and i5 processors.

The i9-12900HK and i9-12900H have 14 cores made up of six performance and eight efficient cores, can run 20 processor threads, have 24MB of L3 cache, a max frequency of 5GHz, take 115 watts for maximum power, and only differentiate by having vPro Enterprise, the new name for what traditionally has been vPro and now supports Chrome OS, for the latter, while the former gets a vPro subset for SMBs that includes basic cloud-based device management called vPro Essentials. The i9-12900HK is also unlocked for overclocking.

The i7-12800H and i7-12700H have the same specs as the i9s except for having a lower peak frequency of 4.8GHz and 4.7GHz, respectively, with vPro Essentials for the 12700H and vPro Enterprise for the 12800H. The i7-12650H has no vPro, 10 cores capable of 16 processor threads on six performance and four efficient cores, and 24MB of L3 cache.

For the three i5 chips that take 95 watts as maximum turbo power, the i5-12600H and i5-12500H have 12 cores capable of 16 processor threads on four performance and eight efficient cores, and 18MB of L3 cache with a peak frequency of 4.5GHz. The i5-12600H has vPro Enterprise and i5-12500H has vPro Essentials.

Rounding out the lineup, the i5-12450H is an 8-core chip that runs 12 processor threads on four performance and four efficient cores, has 12MB of L3 cache and peak frequency of 4.4GHz, and is without vPro.

The H-series chips have support for DDR5-4800, DDR4-3200, LPDDR5-5200, and LPDDR4x-4267 memory, and will be available in laptops in February.

Alongside the new chips, Intel is expanding its Evo platform to a third edition, with the latest specification being so-called intelligent collaboration, which boils down to being able to video conference for longer.

In technical terms, Intel is specifying 12th generation silicon, Wi-Fi 6E, AI-based noise reduction using the Gaussian and neural accelerator, and generally a greater than full HD camera. On Windows, it also means using Intel Connectivity Performance Suite for traffic prioritisation.

The company said it would now extend the program to laptops with 15 and 16-inch displays that use its Intel Arc discrete graphics and H-series Alder Lake chips, as well as expand its «Engineered for Intel Evo» certification to Bluetooth accessories. It also added that it expected the Horseshoe Bend foldable OLED devices first mentioned two years ago to hit the market this year.

Beyond the H-series, Intel said it had 12th generation 28-watt P-series chips and nine to 15 watt U-series chips for thin laptops, landing this quarter. The six P-series chips range from a six performance and eight efficient core i7-1280P, down to a two performance and eight efficient i3-1220P. The U-series tops out with a two performance and eight efficient core i7-1265U, and ends with a one performance and four efficient core Celeron 7305.

On the desktop front, Intel expanded its Alder Lake offerings with 22 new chips ranging from i9 down to Pentium Gold and Celeron chips. The company has nine chips with base power of 35 watts, with the processor designation ending with a T, while the remainder have base power at 65 watts, and have no letter suffix, unless it is an F that means no integrated Intel UHD 770 graphics.

Only the desktop i9 and i7 have the hybrid architecture with the different types of cores, with all chips i5 and lower only having performance cores.

The company is also bringing Project Athena to the vPro desktops, with touted features being automated locking when the user walks away, automated unlocking when the user approaches the desktop, as well as AI noise reduction, more sustainable form factors, and «simplified» cable connections.

1. Apple MacBook Pro 16 inches

“Larger Display & Bigger Battery” 

2019 Apple MacBook Pro (16-inch, 16GB RAM, 1TB Storage,…

  • Display: 16″, FHD, 3072 x 1920, Retina Display
  • Processor: Intel Core i9-9880H, 2.3GHz, 8 Core
  • Graphics Card: Amd Radeon Pro 5500M, GDDR6 
  • RAM & Storage: 16GB DDR4, 1TB SSD
  • Operating System: Mac OS

Pros

  • Keyboard is Great 
  • Slimmer Bezels
  • Amazing Speakers
  • Powerful Processor 

Cons

  • Display is Not 4K
  • Slightly Heavier 

Design 

The MacBook Pro’s basic design has not changed despite the fact that the bigger screen and higher capacity battery has allowed the use of a thicker casing. In our view, the MacBook Pro 16 looks so similar to its predecessor in the overall design that when they are side by side it will be hard to tell the two apart.

In its laptops, Apple still needs to follow the high screen to body ratios however as compared to the MacBook Pro 15, the MacBook Pro 16 has significantly smaller display bezels than.

Silver and Space Gray are the two color schemes in which Apple has continued to sell the biggest MacBook Pro. The most important thing is that with MacBook Pro, Apple has again maintained the excellent craftsmanship and build quality which users expect from it.

Its finish does not bear fingerprints as easily as some of its competitor’s plastic surfaces do since the aluminum case makes the MacBook Pro 16 feel luxurious. Ultimately, our analysis device is robust, and with our best efforts, we could not twist the frame.

As is its panel hinge the shell is similarly rigid as well. The screen does not wobble while typing and it can be open with a single hand. The hinge allows the screen to be opened up to around 135 ° too, the very same position that can be opened to the most recent MacBook Pro 15.

On the most recent MacBook, Pro 16 Apple is also using patented Pentalobe screws. Those attach the bottom case to the frame but with the right screwdriver, they can be removed easily.

Display

The display is one of the most noticeable improvements in the latest MacBook Pro. Instead of OLED the new 16 inches screen is IPS, and still carries the Retina branding of the product.

However, the 3072×1920 panel’s 226 PPI pixel density is lower than that of comparable 4K displays, including the ones in Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Extreme Gen 2 and Dell XPS 15 7590.

With its MacBook Pro range, Apple continues to sell only one single screen version which is neither capable of HDR nor high refresh rates. The MacBook Pro 16 as having a 16 inches display of 500 cd / m2 according to Apple, a statement that is only valid in the X-Rite i1Pro 2 display center of our review unit.

The program reports the panel as being uniformly lit at 86 percent, resulting in an average maximum luminosity of 477 cd / m2. The screen also has an appropriate black value which we were measuring at 0.39 cd / m2.

All of our comparison laptops reach significantly lower black values other than the Dell XPS 15 7590, but in this regard, there are plenty of other laptops better than the MacBook Pro 16.

That also refers to the contrast ratio of 1,331:1 for our review unit. This frequency is so high, however, and it changes so marginally as the brightness levels change, that it will definitely be going to affect your eyes especially if you work on this laptop for two long. 

Performance Under Workload 

No matter which edition you buy the MacBook Pro 16 is a versatile multimedia laptop. Along with an option of three AMD Radeon Pro GPUs Apple provides the system with Hexa or octa-core Coffee Lake processors.

Technically speaking, it’s only two but the Radeon Pro 5500 M comes in versions of 4GB and 8GB. You can also upgrade the MacBook Pro 16 with DDR4-2666 RAM up to 64GB, and an 8TB SSD.

Although we ran most of our benchmarks on macOS, we ran them on Windows 10 even using Boot Camp for comparability purposes. Apple has designed most drivers well for Windows 10 Boot Camp, making it in most respects a good alternative to the macOS.

Nonetheless, you have to stick with the GPU being permanently activated, which can affect battery life, although some test results are for some reason lower than what they are in macOS.

Our review unit is operated by the Core i9-9880H, an octa-core processor that in the most recent MacBook Pro 15 we have already benchmarked. Intel bases the chip on its architecture in Coffee Lake, which was first launched in Q3 2017 and it was manufactured on a 14 nm process.

Although the MacBook Pro 16 tops all of our PCMark benchmark tables, then at first glance its predominance is even more impressive. In simple words, this laptop is meant for hardcore work requirements.

Design

Compared to its predecessor, the layout of the latest MacBook Pro 15 has not changed. It appears to have been somewhat reworked by the maker, as the battery is a little bigger and heavier, and some material had to be added somewhere else.

We do not note a difference in stability though. The reliability of the MacBook Pro 15 continues to be among the best you can find and it is available in Silver and Space Gray.

It’s incredibly durable even despite longer periods of usage the surfaces still look fantastic. For more info and details we recommend our analysis of the predecessor. In our contrast of scale, the MacBook Pro 15 still holds up incredibly well.

There are some variations and several rivals are a little wider and not as large, but overall the MacBook is still the most lightweight and slim laptop. At the front of the frame, Dell’s XPS 15 9570 is slimmer but gets thicker at the rear.

At just over 1.8 kilograms, the Apple laptop is also the lightest computer to use. There was no improvement in the port situation, you also get four Thunderbolt 3 ports full bandwidth with USB Type-C connectors and a 3.5 mm stereo jack.

It means you can add pretty much anything to the new MacBook Pro and there are more and more USB-C ports, but for now, you will probably need adapters or dongles. No SD-card reader is yet available, either, given the large case.

Display 

Apple is the only maker of laptops that still sends a screen with a ratio of 16:10. On the 15.4 inches IPS screen, the resolution is 2880 x 1800 pixels with 220 PPIs, which is also named as Retina by Apple provides a very clear image.

TrueTone support is the only new functionality that we already identify, respectively, from the iPhone or iPad. The white balance which is supposed to produce a more natural picture changes automatically according to the ambient light’s color temperature.

The manual Night Shift mode is still available which reduces the quality of blue colors. The latter can also be adjusted in settings like automatic time-depending activation, warmer or cooler image, etc.

For our evaluation unit, the panel bears the APPA040 designation and varies from the previous ones. Compared to the smaller 2018 MBP 13 it may be required for the additional TrueTone functionality or this may just be a new revision.

Despite the fact that the panel last year was a little brighter in certain points our test model hits the advertised luminance of 500 nits. In addition, the black value is higher and also increases the contrast ratio.

The Dell XPS 15 9570 doesn’t have to hide behind the Apple panel the 4 K screen is a little darker but has little black-value and contrast advantages. The other two reference systems use the same 1080p panel and when it comes to luminance and contrast, lag behind. 

Performance Under Workload 

The MacBook Pro 15 was a very good laptop all along. One of the issues with the new models was the small amount of RAM, so those of virtual machines, in particular, would run out of 16 GB very quickly.

Apple finally switches to this year’s DDR4-2400 RAM, with a 32 GB option. In the 2017 edition, DDR4 uses more power than LPDDR3 but Apple also has increased the battery capacity slightly.

Apple replaces the quad-core Kaby Lake CPUs with Coffee Lake Hexa-Core chips. All three processors available are six-core versions which will offer a major performance boost in multi-core scenarios.

AMD once more supplies the dedicated GPUs. The marginally higher clocked versions of last year’s GPUs will be the two variants Radeon Pro 555X now equipped with 4 GB VRAM and 560X.

Our review unit was equipped with the second-fastest CPU option, Intel Core i9-8950HK. It is a Coffee Lake series Hexa-Core processor which is still manufactured in a 14 nm process.

That is one of the problems because for more than 2 years the basic architecture hasn’t changed, but we also get higher Boost clocks and more cores. You can reach 4.8 GHz if you stress just one core and up to 4 GHz for all six cores though the processor has a base frequency of 2.9 GHz.

To track the processor clock behavior we use the Intel Power Gadget tool.

Pros

  • Slim Design
  • Great Gaming Performance  
  • Customizable Lighting
  • Comparatively Decent Battery Life

Cons

  • CPU Performs Under Power
  • Cramped Up KeyBoard

Design 

Dell Alienware 17 R5 gaming laptop should be called an intergalactic blackout. Alienware also introduced even more LED zones to the ready-made battle station than the current color, thus rendering the panel slimmer with the current hinge-forward configuration.

Next, the RGB lights more new areas have been introduced by Alienware taking the overall total to 13. On the redesigned Alien Command Center you can select out your personalized colors and effects, we will discuss that later in this post.

The Alienware 17 is 9.7 pounds slimmer than its predecessor with a weight of almost 9.6 pounds and body dimensions of 16.7 x 13.1 x 1.2 inches. It is smaller than the MSI GT75 Titan as well. Nevertheless, it is also significantly smaller than the Eon17-X 8.6-pound Origin PC and the Aorus X9 gaming laptops.

You’re met by a conventional full-size keyboard that glows with enthusiasm as you open the lid. The keyboard is sandwiched between a huge touchpad and the gleaming external head power button’s watchful eyes.

Above the shiny plastic bar that holds the Tobii Eye Tracker the frame is 17.3 inches. You will get a single USB 3.0 port on the right for computers, with another one on the left.

There’s also a USB Type-C port, Noble Lock slot and headphone and microphone jacks. You can locate several of the ports in the back because of the hinge-forward style, including a Mini DisplayPort, HDMI 2. 0, Thunderbolt 3, Ethernet, a battery pad and the proprietary Alienware Graphics Amplification pad. 

Display 

Alienware usually offers a top-notch display, and the new Alienware 17 R5 gaming laptop does not disappoint. The black, 17.3 inches anti-glare screen offers vibrant contrast and unrivaled brightness with wide angles of view.

Unfortunately, this 2560 x 1440 screen is not available in OLED like its 13-inch sibling, but there was no issue with the distribution of show-stopping reds during the Full HD videos and movies.

The Nvidia G-Sync technology helped by synchronizing the GPU with the screen up to 144 hertz to prevent image tearing despite the nonstop operation. The Alienware 17 hit 110 percent of the sRGB color gamut when measured for color reproduction.

Which exceeds the 100 percent minimum and the 104 percent of the Eon17-X. For the average 131 percent, premium gaming laptop It, however, fell short, as well as the numbers the Aorus X9 and the Titan, put up.

Also if this is not the block’s most colorful display, the Alienware 17 R5 Gaming laptop is certainly among the brightest. The panel eclipsed the 283-nit average, hitting 352 nits.

Its nearest competitors didn’t crack 300 nits. It’s fair to conclude, after almost 22 years in the market, that Alienware knows how to build a laptop for gaming. The manufacturer always decides whether to do a complete overhaul or when to do some changes and refine the product as a whole.

Performance Under Workload 

The Alienware 17 R5 Gaming laptop version is the first in the series to rock Intel’s latest 2.9-GHz, 8th Gen Core i9-8950HK CPU with a whopping 32 GB RAM.

And thanks to the Alien Command Center, this beast can be overclocked to a blazing 5 GHz. When it comes to multitasking it is sort of like a modern Ivan Drago.

We started streaming Runaways on Hulu when watching some of the favorite videos on YouTube about the Steven Universe hypothesis. We just kept opening tabs in Google Chrome from there, some running Slack, some running Twitch, until we’ve got 35 tabs free.

Then We run Windows Protector and out of this thing, there was nary a hiccup. However, all of our tests didn’t automatically turn that strength into stellar performance.

For example, it kept its own but it did not blow the rivalry away. This unit on Geekbench 4 delivered 20,890 which measures overall performance. That beats the average 17,290 luxury gaming laptops but the Titan and Aorus produced 22,754 and 25,915, respectively, equipped with their own 8950HKs.

The Eon17-X reached 21,713, with its Intel Core i7-8700 K CPU laptop. The Alienware 17 paired up 65,000 names and addresses in 42 seconds during our Excel usability check, slipping past the typical 0:44 level. The Titan and Aorus X9 posted 0:34 and 0:31 quicker speeds, respectively.

4. Asus ZenBook Pro Duo UX581

“The Best Touch Screen Laptop in 2020”

ASUS ZenBook Pro Duo UX581 15. 6” 4K UHD NanoEdge Bezel…

  • Display: 15.6″ 4K UHD NanoEdge, 14″ 4K Matte Touchscreen
  • Processor: Intel Core i9-9980HK, Quad Core, 5.0GHz
  • Graphics Card: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060, 6GB GDDR5
  • RAM & Storage: 32GB DDR4, 1TB PCIe NVMe SSD
  • Operating System: Windows 10

Pros

  • Dual 4K Display 
  • Over All Great Performance 
  • Runs Cool While Gaming
  • Fast SSD

Cons

  • Short Battery Life 
  • Heavy & Chunky 

Design

Design-wise the Asus ZenBook Pro Duo is no different as compared to the ZenBook series laptops since they are all aluminum. The smooth surfaces, spun-metal outer lid finish, and the iconic Celestial Blue color brings you a familiar feel and look.

The Asus ZenBook Pro Duo is noticeably thicker and heavier than we’ve come to expect while all of ZenBook series laptops are always quite thin. Partly because of how hefty the unit is, the chassis feels sturdy.

When applying moderate pressure on the keyboard keys the base is even stronger with no creaking and only minor depressions and the lid, in particular, is firmer than expected with almost no twisting.

This laptop happens to be the most well made in its family for such a heavy ZenBook. However, the weight and thickness is an easily noticeable drawback on the UX581. The system, while being nearly as thick as Asus own Strix III G531 gaming laptop, is 500 g heavier than the latest XPS 15 7590. 

Display 

The main screen is a glossy 4 K UHD OLED display which is manufactured by Samsung. While the exact name of the panel can not be identified by HWiNFO, to indicate a very similar visual experience between these enthusiastic laptops the SDCA029 controller is the same as the one used on the Dell XPS 15 OLED, Razer Blade 15 OLED and Eurocom Night sky RX15 OLED.

All of OLED’s usual benefits include the extremely fast response times for nearly no ghosting, very deep black levels, 100 percent DCI-P3 coverage, precise colors out of the box, no uneven bleeding from the backlight.

A noticeable downside of the Asus OLED screen is that it’s significantly dimmer as compared to the other OLED 15.6 inches laptops. On the XPS 15, Blade 15, and Night sky RX15, we’re able to record a maximum of 360 nits versus 421 nits, 473 nits, and 415 nits.

Performance Under Workload

It seems like Asus clearly aims to the ZenBook Pro Duo UX581 enthusiasts. Secondary ScreenPad Plus touchscreen, GeForce RTX 2060 GPU, and the main 4 K UHD OLED touchscreen are all set across each SKU. ASUS provides the user’s choice to go for the hexacore, Core i7-9750H or the unlocked octa-core Core i9-9980HK with 16 GB to 32 GB of soldered DDR4-2666 RAM.

You will not find any huge gains in day to day workloads such as browsing or multitasking since PCMark benchmarks rate our UX581 just a few percentage points higher than last year’s UX580.

Because of the fact that the GTX 1050 Ti output leap to the RTX 2060 is important, the exception is in GPU-heavy loads such as editing or design, as exemplified by the higher Digital Content Creation score.

On our test unit other than the aforementioned wireless issue we had no software or hardware problems.

Gigabyte AERO 15-X9-9RT5 gaming laptop has an aluminum chassis with a sleek design in black color. Unfortunately, this Aero machine does not offer any other color options yet.

The lid of AERO 15-X9-9RT5 shows the name Gigabyte written in white on the overall black theme, which looks attractive. Also on the lid, some lithography in an arrow shape with a weaved pattern gives this laptop a rather aggressive look.

With the Aero logo, the already thicker bottom bezel looks even bulkier since the webcam has been positioned on the hinge into the module right below.
Display

The display of Gigabyte AERO 15-X9-9RT5 easily beats the 138 percent premium gaming laptop average by covering an incredible 187 percent of the sRGB color gamut.

In this laptop, there are several preset power plans which come with pre-installed Gigabyte Control Center. They enable you to tweak the system among other settings.

It is worth mentioning that as a result of placing the camera in the bottom bezel, the top bezel is considerably thin as well as side bezels, many people have also admired this change.

  • Fast SSD
  • Great Performance   

Cons

  • Battery Life is Average 
  • Keyboard is Mushy 

Design 

HP Omen 15 T gaming laptop is bold but at the same time, it is also understated. The lid is bisected into fours, made of black metal which creates a pair of slightly raised brushed aluminum rhombuses and two smooth triangles.

The word Omen rests on the hinge in a demure fashion while a polished silver Voodoo symbol refers to the heritage of this notebook. When you open the laptop there is a black plastic deck that is intended to mimic the striated portions of the cover.

In the middle of the palm rest lies a rather large touchpad, whereas a slim power button sits above the keyboard in the top-left corner of the Wall. Talking about the keyboard, its keys in the center of the deck are black with red accents and rest in a prominent recess.

Display 

Playing games on the Omen 15 T and watching movies show colorful and bright views. And the accuracy was so good when we played Red Dead Redemption 2, individual hairs of Arthur’s fur lining collar were clearly visible.

In terms of color, the black, red and white poncho of Javier with its vibrant color gets our attention. The Omen 15 is capable of reproducing 102 percent of the sRGB color gamut which is just above the minimum of 100 percent.

But when it comes to brightness no computer can hold a candle to the Omen 15. This gaming beast outshines a total of 277 nits and the Zephyrus and G3 15 240 and 272 nits by reaching an average of 320 nits. With that, it becomes one of the brightest displays we have reviewed. 

Performance Under Workload

The HP Omen 15T will do its fair share of the job thanks to a 2.6-GHz Intel Core i9-9880H Eight-Core processor accompanied by 64GB DDR4 2666MHz RAM. This machine shows no signs of stressing out when we run 25 tabs of google chrome while downloading a big file at the same time.

Even when we launched graphics-intensive games like red dead redemption 2 this laptop still performed extremely well. The laptop kept its own overall performance rating of our synthetic benchmarks on Geekbench 4.3 extremely great.

With that, it has also beaten the 14,106 of the Zephyrus and was well ahead of the gaming average of 20,448 standards. At 16,650, the G3 15, which has a Core i5-9300H CPU, fell back.

The Omen 15 spend 8 minutes 34 seconds to transcode a 4K video into 1080p during the Handbrake test. That time was not only shorter than 14:23 for the Zephyrus and 14:01 for the G3 15 but also the average of 10:45.

Cons

  • Battery is Average
  • Ports Selection is Not Enough 

Design

Thanks to the angled rear lid and narrow bezels along the bottom of the screen, the Asus ZenBook 15 gaming laptop design is visually striking and distinct as compared to other Ultrabooks.

Unlike on the XPS 13, the screen is small on all four sides without having to change the webcam location. Asus claims a very high screen to body ratio of 92 percent, compared to Dell’s only 80.7 percent.

Though factually the angled rear lid is not new since on the older HP Pavilion 15 Power In fairness, however, the angled rear lid is not new as it can also be found on the older HP Pavilion 15 Power it can be seen as well. In addition, Asus succeeded in making the bottom bezel look smaller than it is by covering a large portion of it when the lid is opened behind the base.

It’s a smart strategy because when the lid is opened users see a bottom bezel that is only 3.3 mm thick.

Display 

In order to run a native Ultra HD resolution of 3840 x 2160 unlike its siblings, the Asus ZenBook 15 gaming laptop offers a glossy 15.6 inches IPS 4K display. The maximum level of average brightness which we were able to achieve during our review was about 285. 1 cd / m2, which is on par as compared to the other models of this same series.

The Asus ZenBook 15 gaming laptop offers a slightly brighter display if you compare it with the other model UX433FN of the ZenBook series, though both of the devices are equipped with the same panels by ASUS.

If we talk about the contrast ratio our review unit was able to achieve an average of 1,435:1 and 0.23 cd / m2 of black value, which is as great since the values in the same tests were produced by our comparative devices.

In short, the brightness level of the display of Asus ZenBook 14 is far better than many other similar laptops and it shows enough details during gaming however, the colors should have been more vibrant. 

Performance Under Workload 

Nevertheless, The Asus ZenBook 15 gaming laptop provides solid overall system performance with the combination of PCIe NVMe SSD, a powerful Intel Core i9-8950HK processor, and dual-channel RAM. During our tests, we experienced no issues and for all office and internet-based applications, we threw at it our analysis unit provides more than enough processing power.

Apart from its great CPU performance, its dedicated GPU also helps it achieve comparably good results in the PCMark benchmark. Under continuous load, the Asus ZenBook 15 gaming laptop does get very noisy but usually runs quietly in general tasks such as web browsing or word processing.

During our stress test, which is on par with many other modern compact laptops, the fan occasionally reached a maximum of 30.7 dB(A) when idle, and 39.3 dB(A) under load. So if you want a slimmer and portable kind of laptop for gaimng purposes, the Asus Zenbook 15 is without a doubt great option with enough power to run modern triple-A games smoothly.

The MSI P65 Creator-1084 is made out of aluminum with a silver finish, good thing is that at least we don’t have to worry about it being made of plastic. However, when adding some weight to the center of the keyboard its lightweight produces some visible flex.

Also when you push the corners of the screen and area around the power button, the same flex happens. A security lock slot, two Type-A USB 3.1 ports an Ethernet port, and separate jack for headphones and microphones are included in the connectivity options of MSI P65 Creator-1084 gaming laptop.

You will find a display outputs for mini DisplayPort and HDMI, an external USB-A port, an AC adapter connector and a Thunderbolt 3 port on the right side of this gaming rig.

The MSI P65 Creator-1084 offers a 4K 3840 x 2160 resolution eye-friendly display, the screen is non-touch. Though as games do, productivity and innovation Applications will not going to exploit their high refresh rate.

All of the images look incredibly sharp on this display. backed by wide viewing angles and inky blacks set on pristine white backgrounds, the level of brightness and contrast is more than enough.

Even though the matte finish of the screen minimizes screen glare but at the same time, the colors look faded. Ultimately, for long work sessions, this screen will appear to be a good place.

So overall the display of MSI P65 Creator-1084 is great especially if you are interested in playing triple AAA games.

Design

The new XPS 15 looks pretty much identical to its predecessors with its sleek industrial silver aluminum lid and undercarriage unveiling a tender-touch black interior accented by smooth, rounded corners.

This is a good thing because in an office the laptop looks very elegant and great. No matter how you slice it, it’s still an attractive machine although this laptop is a little underdressed for a LAN party.

XPS 15 features only one ornament in the middle of the cover as compared to the Apple MacBook Pro, the shiny Dell insignia. The interior of the laptop is as familiar as its exterior, swathed in black-carbon-fiber soft-touch, continuing to the power button that doubles in the top-right corner as a fingerprint reader.

Display

Dell XPS 15 offers two display configurations, touch screen 4K, an Ultra HD and non-touch 1080p. The matte 1920 x 1080 screen is capable of producing rich color and precise detail, as shown by the fine lines and the deep red color of the flower in the XPS 15 wallpaper.

It is worth mentioning that the 4K display panel is dimmer as compared to the Ultra HD 1080p panel. With the average of 322 nits, it has passed the category score but as compared to its rivals, to be honest it is less luminous.

Though the display is vivid and colorful and it can reproduce 115 percent of the sRGB gamut. If you want a powerful laptop that can provide you top-notch performance with a decent display under the budget of $2500 then Dell XPS 15 9570 is a great option to be considered.

Design 

Lenovo features a conventional 15.6 inches handheld workstation with the ThinkPad P53. In this case, typical points at the fact that it’s not a very thin or light system, unlike the ThinkPad P1 2019 for example.

Users reap the benefits of faster hardware especially in terms of GPU, more ports, and greater upgradability in return. Updates of chassis to advanced models usually follow a two-year cycle.

This is not the case for the Lenovo ThinkPad P-5x series and even last year’s P52 was more of a facelift than a detailed redesign. At least externally the ThinkPad P53 fits the same pattern.

Apart from the ports variations, the P53’s graphics and the black plastic textures remain untouched. On the ground, though, a great deal has changed. Luckily, this does not adversely impact the rigidity or the consistency of the design and the ThinkPad is still an incredibly rigid unit with no design flaws.

The base panel can’t be bent, it’s not yielding visibly, nor is there distracting creaking. Although both the hinges are very rigid and capable of consistently avoiding teetering, they are unable to hold the lid at slight angles, where it snaps shut instead.

As for the lid, the cover of the P53 doesn’t seem to be conscious of the slim-bezel phenomenon. While the cover itself is not just as solid as the base panel, there are no reliability issues here though.

Display 

There have been a few improvements in design and overall the output has improved relative to the previous model. The base configuration also contains the same Full HD screen with a 300 cd / m2 brightness rating that can be seen on the ThinkPad P52 too.

In addition, from this year three new panels are available. The better Full HD version is eventually available in our test unit and is mounted there. The matte 4 K monitor is now sharper, and the OLED panel option is totally new.

The Full HD Screen looks subjectively amazing. Even light video material doesn’t look visibly grainy, given the matte overlay. The measurements reflect the positive subjective observations, but we have only been able to check the advertised brightness in the screen center.

The above 1,400:1 contrast ratio allows for a vibrant picture. There are two negative implications, however: Particularly at high brightness, visible flickering in the backlight can be seen while watching dark pictures and the brightness rates are not linearly distributed.

The light dropped by 90 percent from 510 to 236 cd / m2 and by 80 percent to 149 cd / m2. Our tests have reported flickering backlight at brightness levels of 77 percent or below.

Notice that this is not standard PWM, owing to its exceptionally high frequency of 26 kHz. For example, the matte screen benefits from its high average outdoor visibility and is ideal for very light conditions. 

Performance Under Workload

To ensure that the output and emissions will differ greatly, depending on the model chosen Lenovo provides a wide variety of components in its ThinkPad P53 series.

Lenovo’s intelligent cooling on the new models is no longer managed with the Vantage app, but with the basic Windows power profile like selectable from the battery icon in the taskbar. In the synthetic benchmark PCMark 10 and in our SSD tests, our ThinkPad P53 performs very well as anticipated.

The Samsung M.2 PCIe SSD P981a mounted provides some of the fastest read and write speeds on the market and it has 1 TB of disk space available. In reality, the mobile workstation allows seamless running of the device with short response times and no visible delays.

During our testing, we also did not find any problems such as freezing or blue screens. Nvidia sells different Quadro RTX 5000 models and we had a hard time deciding which one Lenovo had selected for the ThinkPad P53.

We found out that an 80-watt variant of standard RTX 4000 non-Max-Q is mounted according to the details given to us. Our RTX 4000 GPU page provides an overview of the many different models.

In short: Just the central clock is different and varies from 600 MHz base to 1,350 MHz boosts in our case. Nonetheless, consumers have little need to think too much about numerical values.

Since the GPU nearly often operates at a minimum of 1.350 MHz in mere GPU benchmarks and at least 1.450 MHz in mixed GPU benchmarks. Even a high of 1.770 MHz has been achieved.

Intel Core i9-11900K Review: Rocket Lake won’t take off — Intel

Intel

Intel had a well-defined tick-to-tick strategy: with each generation we got a manufacturing improvement (tick), followed by a microarchitecture upgrade to take full advantage of that node (tick). This worked reliably from 65 to 14 nm and solidified Intel’s position as the world’s leading chipmaker.

Then came 10 nm. Intel simply couldn’t find a way to efficiently scale its 10nm node, so instead it went back to 14nm and focused on architectural changes to deliver performance gains with each new launch. What was intended as a temporary measure eventually turned into a six-year undertaking that continues to this day — last year’s Core i9-10900K was supposed to be the last development with a 14nm process, but Intel continued to use this node in 2021 with rocket lake.

Although built at 14nm, Rocket Lake uses the Sunny Cove microarchitecture; Originally designed for 10nm, the cores were ported back to run on the existing 14nm node. Because of this, the Core i9-11900K has fewer cores than its predecessor — there simply isn’t enough room on the die to accommodate all the cores, which is why Intel ditched two cores. As a result, the Core i9-11900K has eight cores and 16 threads compared to the Core i9’s 10 cores and 20 threads.-10900K we received last year.

AMD has made huge strides with the Ryzen 9 5950X and 5900X series, does it make sense to pick up the Core i9-11900K? Let’s take a look.

Intel released the Core i9-11900K on March 30th at $540. As you no doubt know, PC component availability will continue to be a huge challenge in 2021. The Core i9-11900K is already sold out in most stores, with some Newegg listings selling for a retail price of $622 at the time of this writing.

The situation is unlikely to change during most of 2021. This is not just an Intel problem; AMD and NVIDIA also cannot support demand for their latest products. We’ve rounded up the best places to buy NVIDIA RTX 30 series graphics cards, and as for Intel’s Rocket Lake chips, you can find them at Newegg and B&H Photo — just be prepared to pay more.

Understanding Rocket Lake

Source: Harish Yonnalagadda / Windows Central

For Rocket Lake, Intel took the Sunny Cove cores from the 10nm Ice Lake platform and ported them back to the 14nm node . While Intel has released 10nm nodes for laptops, it has essentially stuck to a wait model in its desktop lineup. Comet Lake switched to the LGA1200 socket last year to improve performance by increasing power consumption.

In the case of Rocket Lake, Intel had to redesign the 10nm cores to fit the existing 14nm node.

Rocket Lake continues this holdout scheme in that it’s still a 14nm part, but with the new Sunny Cove architecture, Intel is claiming a 19% IPC gain. These cores were designed for the 10nm process, so Intel had to significantly redesign them for use on its mature 14nm platform. As a result, although the Core i9-11900K has fewer cores than its predecessor, its die size is larger.

Another new addition this time around is the Iris Xe UHD Graphics 750, and like the Sunny Cove cores, this design had to be moved from 10nm to fit the 14nm node. The Iris Xe platform offers a huge performance boost over the UHD Graphics 630 in the Core i9-10900K, but most customers looking to buy Rocket Lake designs will pair them with discrete GPUs.

As with the new generation, we’re getting a new series of motherboards, with the Z590 platform following Rocket Lake. Between Z49 motherboards0 and Z590 have minor differences — USB 3.2 Gen 2×2, Wi-Fi 6E, more PCIe lanes — so if you don’t care about the upgrades offered, you can save some money and get a Z490 board for Rocket Lake. .

As for the Core i9-11900K, Intel had no choice but to go with an 8-core/16-thread design due to problems porting Sunny Cave to 14nm. The CPU offers a base frequency of 3. 5GHz with a boost of 4.80GHz across all cores. With TVB (Thermal Velocity Boost), it can reach 5.3GHz for single core and 5.2GHz for dual core. Max.

So, and last year, this is what was the case with the Core I9-10900K I’m comparing the latest Intel chipset with Ryzen 7 5800X and Ryzen 9 5900X.

5800X, with its 8-core/16-thread configuration, is closer to the Core i9-11900K, but with this particular option available for $449, AMD could be a bit behind Intel. Of course, this is assuming that any of these chipsets can be purchased at retail; due to shortages, Intel and AMD chipsets are sold at a higher price.

The Core i9-11900K offers a decent gain over the Core i9-10900K for single-core workloads, but things start to fall apart for multi-core use cases. Intel’s latest flagship isn’t very good in this area, and it shows in the results.

When it comes to gaming, Intel has a slight advantage. For most games at 1080p, the Core i9-11900K offers the same performance as last year’s i9s-10900K, as well as Ryzen 9 5900X and Ryzen 7 5800X. For 1440p and 4K gaming, there’s a barely noticeable 2% boost for the Core i9-11900K over the Ryzen 9 5900X, and frankly, when you consider how much power the processor consumes under load, that’s not great. look for Intel.

Intel relies heavily on its performance enhancing algorithms to deliver improved performance figures, and this makes Rocket Lake even more power hungry than the previous generation. Under the same Core i9 workloads-11900K consumes 5-8% more power than Core i9-10900K. When it comes to energy efficiency, AMD is in a league of its own, with the 7nm Ryzen 9 5900X and Ryzen 7 5800X delivering 15-20% more efficiency when running the same workloads as Intel.

If you want to upgrade in 2021 AMD Ryzen 9 is your best bet5900X. The $550 CPU costs the same as the Core i9-11900K and delivers much better performance while not drawing as much power as Intel’s latest flagship. AMD has a solid lead with the current Ryzen 9 series, and frankly, it’s an unfair comparison between the 5900X and 11900K, even though they cost the same.

But if you don’t want to switch to AMD and want to use the Intel part, the Core i9-10900K is a great option in 2021. Comet Lake design is as fast as 11900K for multi-threaded use cases, and it stands its own for gaming. And because it’s been on the market longer, you can get the 10900K for less than $500.

You should buy this if… but if you’re firmly in the corner of the blue team and need the latest and greatest, you’ll want to pick it up.

You want the best single-core performance

Intel has focused on single-core performance this generation, and as a result, the Core i9-11900K delivers the best single-core results you can find.

Don’t buy this if…

You need the most cores

Core i9-11900K is behind AMD Ryzen 95900X and 5950X in multithreaded workloads. Even last year’s Core i9-10900K had ten cores, and if you want a desktop chipset that handles multi-core use cases just fine, you’re better off picking one from the AMD Ryzen 9 series.

The -11900K isn’t really the most efficient processor available today, and when it comes to power consumption, it performs even worse than last year’s Comet Lake chipsets. In this area, the Ryzen 9 seriesahead of Intel. The

Core i9-11900K is a good processor by any measure. By porting the Sunny Cove architecture to the 14nm process, Intel has managed to get rid of the last bits of 14nm node performance. The CPU delivers impressive single-core results and we finally have PCIe 4.0.

But aside from single-core performance, the Core i9-11900K doesn’t really match what AMD has to offer right now — or even last year’s Core i9-10900K — and so it’s hard to recommend Intel’s latest flagship chipset. Yes, it’s great for single-core use cases and excels in gaming, but as it turns out, it lacks multi-core and performance metrics.

3.5 of 5

Going forward, Intel will radically change its strategy to counter the AMD threat. Intel will serve as a foundry for other companies through the new Intel Foundry Services, but the bigger change will be that Intel will start using external factories to create future x86 chipsets. This is a fundamental rethinking of how Intel has operated over the past 25 years, and should ease the challenges the company has faced in scaling its own 10nm and 7nm nodes.

It will be interesting to see how that pans out, but what’s clear so far with Rocket Lake is that AMD is a solid winner in this round. The Core i9-11900K is decent enough on its own, but it just doesn’t hold up against the best AMD has to offer. It’s not quite on par with our best processor for your personal PC collection. Now, if only you can get your hands on the Ryzen 9 5900X.

CES 2022: The new Intel Core i9 is set to destroy the Apple M1 Max. But not completely0323

Oleg Voronin

CES 2022 continues, and, in addition to small startups and companies, IT industry mastodons also present their products. In particular, Intel introduced the new generation chips — the company claims that the new product will bypass the Apple Silicon M1 Max, but in fact this was not entirely true.

At the presentation, Intel said that its new 12th generation Core i9, designed for laptops, is able to surpass Apple’s top SoC — Silicon M1 Max; and not only him, but any other mobile chip in the world. Intel claims that their processor has more performance per watt than Apple’s top-end SoC.

According to official information, the new 12th generation Intel Core i9 SoC received 14 performance cores and 8 energy efficiency cores, while the Silicon M1 Max chip in the top-end 16’’ 2021 MacBook Pro has only 8 performance and 2 energy efficiency cores. Intel prepared a diagram that was supposed to dot the «i», but it seems that it only raised more questions:

The trick is that the power consumption of the new product from Intel can reach up to 115 watts at a frequency of 5.0 GHz in Turbo Boost mode — in a laptop such a considerable amount of heat will need to be efficiently removed or dissipated. At the same time, Apple’s SoC — even the top-end one — can be accelerated to 3.2 GHz in accelerated mode and consumes half as much energy; Accordingly, the heat dissipation is much less. In terms of mobile performance, Apple’s solution remains more suitable.

In general, the new Intel Core i9 may well be more productive than the Silicon M1 Max. However, the use of Intel’s SoC in real life can equalize them — high heat dissipation can force laptop manufacturers to simply «choke» a new chip and, as a result, get the same performance as Apple, or even less. The real state of affairs will be shown by user tests.

We previously reported that in the run-up to CES 2022, Intel made the decision to surreptitiously slow down its 2021 chips, but this has become known to the media. In addition, insiders told how soon Apple will completely abandon Intel products.

new Core 13 processors and competition from AMD / Sudo Null IT News0001

Last night, Intel revealed the open secret and introduced a new line of Intel Core 13 Raptor Lake desktop processors. Let me remind you that four weeks ago AMD presented its new line of processors for PC, and this rivalry is of interest. Under the cut — the characteristics of the new Intel line and a comparison with the main competitor.

What’s new?

The predecessor of the top-end Intel Core i9-13900K is presented in Selectel data centers and this is what has changed in its characteristics:

  • Increased the number of power efficient cores from 8 to 16. The number of efficient P-cores remained the same, while the total number increased from 16 to 24.
  • Number of threads increased from 24 to 32.
  • The base frequency of Performance-core has decreased from 3.2 to 3 GHz
  • The base frequency of Efficient-core has decreased from 2.4 to 2.2 GHz
  • The maximum clock frequency of P-cores in Turbo mode increased from 5.5 to 5.8 GHz
  • L3 cache has grown from 30 to 36 MB, and L2 from 14 to 32 MB.
  • Supported DDR5 memory speed increased from 4800 to 5600 MT/s.

The number of cores is impressive: 24 cores, even despite the division into productive (Performance) and energy efficient (Efficient), this is a lot. Intel has stated that it is developing a hybrid architecture and will focus on integrated graphics and GPUs in the future.

The number of threads remains the same as the top desktop AMD Ryzen 9 7950X. The maximum frequencies of competing CPUs are also close, both processors have integrated graphics.
In the younger Intel models, the changes are similar: the number of energy-efficient cores and the maximum frequency, cache memory have increased.

The new generation of processors will be compatible with the LGA1700 motherboards that worked with the previous generation of Adler Lake.

Also at the presentation of Intel was presented a new chipset Intel 700 series with an increased number of PCI- and DMI-lines. Another piece of news is that the Intel ARC A770 desktop graphics card will cost $329 and will go on sale from October 12th. Intel has previously announced a line of GPUs, but there were no details on prices and the start of sales.

Productivity increase

Up to 24% faster gaming performance and up to 34% faster content creation (photo and video processing, 2D and 3D modeling). An increase in single-threaded performance is also declared (by 15%) and by 41% in multi-threaded.

The slide looks familiar. In August, AMD demonstrated the following at the presentation:

The growth of the new generation AMD Ryzen 7000 in relation to its predecessor looks similar. For example, on both slides there is F1 2022 with a close result.

The following chart in Intel’s presentation compares the new processors to the previous generation AMD Ryzen 5000 (specifically the Ryzen 9 5950X). Complimentary comparison.

AMD, however, also used this method:

Both slides feature an Intel Core i9-12900K, but the benchmarks are of a different nature and it is incorrect to calculate the results based on gains.

At first glance, the performance of the top Intel Core i9-13900K and AMD Ryzen 97950X is about the same level. We could add a table here with a direct comparison of the new AMD and Intel processors in terms of the number of cores, base and maximum frequencies, etc. But that would not be entirely correct. Yes, Intel has more cores, but Efficient-core is significantly limited in performance. But AMD does not have such a separation by cores.

The processors of both companies definitely go head to head. It seems that only independent benchmarks will judge them for different purposes of application. It is quite possible that, depending on the tasks, the processors will outperform each other in terms of performance.

So far, this is a real intrigue. We are waiting for samples of processors to test in Selectel LAB and make our impression.

Prices

The start of sales is scheduled for October 20. The

Intel Core i9-13900K costs $599. That is, about the same as the i9-12900K, and $ 100 cheaper than the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X. Given that the performance of the processors may be similar, this is an argument in favor of Intel, which also has a huge army of fans and a well-deserved brand reputation.

The lower models increased in price by an average of 10%.
