At this year's CES conference, our old friends AMD and Intel each showed their magic at CES, setting off a bloody storm.
Tony has talked carefully with you about AMD before, and today we will take a look at Intel: they have launched a total of 50 CPUs!
Among them, there are 22 desktop models and 28 mobile terminals, covering the four major computing platforms of commercial, educational, mobile and gaming. And these 50 CPUs are almost all 12th generation Core.
After all, it is "the biggest change since the second generation of Core", which undoubtedly pins great hopes on Intel.
In addition, the 12th generation Core has changed from the CPU, GPU, AI to the display, so it has recently attracted the attention of hardware enthusiasts.
So, what changes can this "biggest change since the second generation" processor bring to you and me in front of the screen?
Well, Tony happens to have a buddy who recently gave Tony a notebook with a 12th generation Core processor: 12900H + 3070Ti full blood ROG Gun god 6.
Today we will actually test it~
Look at this translucent keyboard and A-side loser's eye big LOGO, if it weren't for the measurement data, Tony would definitely hold on to playing the game for the first day.
Far from it...
The 12th generation Core's strongest mobile platform CPU - 12900H paper data: 6 large cores and 8 small cores make up a total of 20 threads (large core dual thread, small core single thread), 24MB of L3 cache, large core maximum turbo frequency to 5GHZ, thermal power design of 45W.
Looking at the parameters may be a little unintuitive, let's run a sub-exploration to explore the way first.
Cinebench R23 cycle for ten minutes, multi-core 19056, single-core 1919, maximum power consumption 90W. The location of the notebook CPU ladder diagram is probably here!
In short, it is thirty percent stronger than the current ceiling.
This CPU is 30% faster than the 11th generation 11900H multi-core and about 18% higher than the single core.
You know, in the years when Intel squeezed toothpaste, the 9th to 10th generation Core multi-core also increased by 4%, and this time the improvement was 7.5 times that year.
In this case, it is obvious that the notebook CPU is not enough to see, and we will pull it to compare the desktop level.
Single-core performance exceeds 5900X (AMD home desktop sub-flagship) 9%, and multi-core performance is 11% worse.
But you should know that the desktop-level CPU is placed in the chassis, and the water cooling + chassis fan is well served
And the heat dissipation of the notebook looks like this
What level is this, I will not say more.
Strong single-core performance means greater gaming performance.
In 3DMARK's game tests, this CPU performance is even more off-limit, with a CPU score of 13994. In addition to the high score, it is not hot after running the CPU test.
To prevent a single test or a single roast from generating enough calories, we also used the 3DMARK Stress Test for nearly twenty minutes.
Well... The CPU core temperature is around 67 degrees, the graphics card core is around 73 degrees, and the keyboard area temperature is up to 31.4, which is very robust.
If the pressure is increased, the test project is changed to 3DMARK Time Spy Extreme Stress Test, and the CPU core temperature is around 70 degrees and the GPU is around 80 degrees.
The keyboard area temperature is up to 38 degrees. In addition to the top heat dissipation of ROG liquid gold + dual fan six heat pipes, I think the 12th generation Core must also be credited.
This round of running scores and stress tests, the conclusion is that Intel 12th generation will take the CPU level of the notebook to a new level!
Of course, the running score can only represent theoretical performance.
Let's take a look at the actual game performance. After all, no matter how strong the performance, the game is not used in vain.
Explain in advance, because the main test is the CPU, the picture quality will basically pull to a level that can barely be seen, so the load on the CPU will be greater.
This is actually very easy to understand, if you think of every frame rendered by the game as a project of the company, the CPU is the boss of the entire company, and the GPU is the employee of the company, and the employee does not know what he should do. The boss of the company assigns what kind of work employees do where they are.
So when the project is difficult (rendering difficulty: 3A game 4K quality), the boss has fewer opportunities to give orders, which is relatively more testing of the ability of employees. ( Graphics Performance )
When the project is simple, but the amount is large (1080P, low and medium image quality), the boss with poor ability may be too busy to direct the project due to too many projects, so that the boss's ability can be tested. ( CPU Performance )
Without further ado, let's feel the results
At 1080P, the average frame rate is 141FPS.
PUBG, 1080P three extremes, the low-crowd plains about 240-320FPS, fast to the final circle of the strong situation is about 240-250FPS.
CSGO, in the FPS benchmark, the average frame rate is 462.8 FPS at 1080p high quality.
The test start interface can even reach 900+FPS▼
For notebooks, these grades were previously unattainable.
In 2K high quality, Tony also helped everyone test (play by himself) almost all of the AAA masterpieces on the market, almost all of which can run smoothly without relying on DLSS for more than 60 frames (but this has more to do with graphics card performance, and I will not talk about it today).
Overall, Tony is very satisfied with the notebook sent by the buddies and the 12th generation Core in it.
Think about it, from 2020 onwards, the CPU is really visible to the naked eye in progress, ZEN3 5000 series, intel 12 series desktop, and then to the future release of ZEN4, the entire industry is in a thriving weather.
It's not such a good thing for hardware players like Tony to iterate quickly, because the performance that was bought last year has quickly depreciated this year.
However, with the giants "fairy fighting", we as consumers can enjoy more affordable and easy-to-use products. In essence, the public still benefits from this.
Looking back at the graphics card market: due to the lack of competition, from 20 years to the present, not only has the performance not improved significantly, but the price has also risen.
Thanks to intel, we can finally buy cheaper AMD notebooks!
