    While the 780m supports LPDDR5-7500 there are hardly any laptops with that RAM. The Yoga Slim 7 14 is using LPDDR5-6400 and the Elitebook 845 G10 is using DDR5-5600. Is the Arc ahead purely because of faster RAM? Even if so, it is quite a good iGPU performance from Intel this time around.

      @LocoMated For CPU operations you are right. But for iGPU, RAM speed matters a lot. Gaming laptops don't need that because they have DGPUs with GDDR6 memory.

      There are suggestions that many of these laptops tested with LPDDR5-7500 will not get that in the consumer launch. So they were specifically used to boost the marketing performance, so that would mean that speed is a factor; otherwise, why do that (assuming this is correct).

    Basically, unless something changes in firmware and/or drivers, get whichever is cheaper from Meteor Lake or Phoenix. That's honestly a big difference from the absolute masacre that raptor lake has been getting from AMD's efficiency until now. However, I worry that all Meteor Lake laptops will be much more expensive than AMD's...

      While I do not have any reliable info, do not forget AMD's tendency to be unable to reliably deliver the quantities needed for manufacturers to "bet" on the platform for their high-end notebook designs.

    I am looking forward to seeing this machine in the test. I own Zenbook 14 with i5 1240p. This is quite impressive machine. Asus gave to users an option allowing to set performance, standard or whisper mode. In performance mode, laptop gets very noisy but machine is doing very well, easily beating scores normally reserved for laptops with i7 1260p/1360p. In standard mode, machine performs as standard i5 laptop with acceptable level of noise. Whisper mode- perfect for web and office tasks makes the laptop almost fanless, but not slow. When I got that laptop, I ran a number of CB R15 tests in loop of 10, and laptop was able to hit over 1600 point in multi core, never going under 1500. That was really impressive for i5. I wonder how this solution will be implemented in new zenbook, having in mind iGPU update. If battery time improves (in whisper mode battery life is very good), it might be time for upgrade....

    • @NotebookcheckReviews
      @NotebookcheckReviews  Год назад

      This depends on the application you are working with.
      I tried this one for one of our videos in Resolve 18 (which is very GPU-dependent), and I could play back our .braw 6k files with no problem. Working in a full edit with colour grades, transitions, and text effects was pretty choppy tho.
      So your 4060 will still perform much better, but the ARC is doing very well for an iGPU, and performance might improve with future driver updates.

    It is sad to say that a change of architecture, the insertion of a new type of core, the using of a new intel 4(7nm) process combined with TSCM 5nm just lead to a marginal improvement...

    • @NotebookcheckReviews
      @NotebookcheckReviews  Год назад +1

      You cannot judge the new chips by their CPU benchmark performance alone. You get marginal CPU improvement, true. But these are still pretty snappy CPUs, and in addition, you get a MUCH faster GPU, the NPU for future AI applications, and increased efficiency. I can imagine it is quite a challenge to balance such a processor, and I think Intel did quite well.

    • @IcaniCorrono
      @IcaniCorrono Год назад

      @@NotebookcheckReviews Probably it is necessary more tests, for sure, but you cannot say that because you fell it snappy and there are good paper specs. If you state Synthetic benchmarks (which most of the time are a good indications) are not enough you cannot use the “sensation” to guarantee it is a good product.
      As I said, the GPU is using a 5nm TSMC process and is just competitive with the AMD 780m. Good results but nothing to be exited about, we already have such performance in the market. The same in power consumption they just have reach the competitors using a new node, new architecture and new ultra efficiency core. Basically they put all what they have to just reach the level of the current market.
      If you cannot judge a chip by the today performance, for sure you cannot do it by looking at future promise, and also in that aspect both AMD and Apple already have AI accelerator in they SoC.
      I am not saying it is a bad product, but it is not mind blowing, it is just competitive and represent the current status of Intel: in hurry to catch the competition, very sad.
      It is pretty obvious that they concentrate the effort on marketing because you cannot have cpu that just reach the competition already present in the market and see a lot of news reporting it as a revolution.
      Of course, I expect that the “review” can be biased, but this time is too much.

      It has caught up, so that is good, but to paint a picture of innovation and game-changing is seemingly marketing rhetoric. The AI is great and, over time, will become useful; the encoders/decoders, a contemporary iGPU and the new low-power base cores are great for standby, so some good stuff, but TBH, they are 1-2 years behind rivals, and this is not all rainbows and unicorns as some of the reviews (previews) maintain.
