According to the latest news from HP's official Weibo @HP Genie Alliance, HP will hold a new product launch conference for the eight generations of game families with the theme of "Playing with Internal Strength, Attacking at Full Speed" at 18:30 on February 16. According to the previous breaking news, the new generation of OMEN Shadow Elf game book, HP VICTUS light and shadow elf game book and other products will be unveiled in this event, and the performance improvement is very worth looking forward to! According to the convention, before the official launch of the conference, PConline will also make a preliminary prediction and analysis of the configuration parameters and performance of HP's new generation of game family products.
One. Super powerful 12th generation Core processor high performance mobile version
Last year, the HP game book was equipped with Intel's 11th generation Core processor high-performance mobile tiger Lake-H series as standard, thanks to the 10nm SuperFin process, Willow Cove microarchitecture, 8 cores and 16 threads specifications, the performance improvement is very significant. However, at the CES 2022 exhibition, Intel released the 12th generation Core processor high-performance mobile version of The Alder Lake-H, which further refreshed the performance of the notebook, and significantly improved in both single-threaded and multi-threaded dimensions!
Specifically, the Alder Lake-H has a total of 8 models, of which the high-end Core i7 series is very exciting. For example, the Core i7-12700H specification is 6P8E, a total of 14 cores and 20 threads, I believe that the high-end version of the hp eighth generation game family will most likely match this model; and the Core i5-12500H also provides 4P8E specifications. The highest turbo frequency is 4.5GHz, as the entry model is also more competitive, I believe HP will also introduce the Core i5-12500H into the basic configuration version of the new generation of gamebooks, so that some players with limited budget but also pursuing performance can experience the surging power of the 12th generation Core processor in the first time!
Not only that, but the innovation of the 12th generation Core processor high-performance mobile version of Alder Lake-H is comprehensive, not only the performance has been greatly improved, but also in the overall platform and IO interconnection has also achieved further progress.
The most significant change is the overhaul of the memory controller IMC module, where The Alder Lake-H can support multiple types of memory including the DDR5-4800. For the gamebook, at the standard frequency of JEDEC, the DDR5-4800 can provide more memory bandwidth than the previous generation DDR4-3200, and the overall performance is better. Therefore, it is also expected that the new products of the HP game family can also be equipped with larger capacity and higher bandwidth DDR5-4800 memory as standard, so that players can fully enjoy the performance improvement brought by the new technology.
In addition, PCIe 4.0 channels, Thunderbolt 4, Wi-Fi 6E wireless networks, etc., which have been supported by the previous generation tiger Lake-H, have also been continued in the Alder Lake-H platform. Therefore, this also helps HP's new generation of games to continue the excellent level of the previous generation in terms of connectivity and scalability.
Two. The RTX 30 Series graphics card goes even further
While the performance of the processor is critical, discrete graphics cards are also indispensable to the game book. Last year, the OMEN Genie 7/7 Plus and HP VICTUS Sprite 7 game books were equipped with NVIDIA RTX 30 series laptop GPUs. Depending on the specific product positioning and price, choose from RTX 3050 laptop GPU to RTX 3080 laptop GPU to meet the needs of different types of players.
At this year's CES 2022 show, NVIDIA further improved the Ampere architecture RTX 30 series product line, introducing two new models of RTX 3080 Ti laptop GPU and RTX 3070 Ti laptop GPU. (NVIDIA models with the "Ti" suffix generally refer to enhanced graphics cards with more specifications and performance than the corresponding non-"Ti" models.) ）
For example, the RTX 3070 Ti laptop GPU, the number of CUDA units increased from 5120 to 5888 in the RTX 3070 laptop GPU, and the performance was very powerful. Here, the author predicts that the high-end version of the new generation of OMEN Shadow Genie will be equipped with this graphics card, bringing players a smoother gaming experience. In addition, the RTX 3080 Ti laptop GPU is also full of sincerity, as a new generation of mobile flagship graphics card, it uses GA103 core, a total of 7424 CUDA units, standard 16GB GDDR6 video memory, in the non-Dynamic Boost 2.0 mode power consumption range of 80-150w, the specification is more powerful than the RTX 3080 notebook GPU. Similarly, the author believes that the graphics card will also be installed in the high-end version of OMEN Shadow Elf Plus to meet the extreme requirements of players and friends who have extreme requirements for performance.
summary
The gaming market in 2022 is destined to be very lively, the 12th generation Core processor high-performance mobile version of Alder Lake-H brings more improvement than previous generations, and the new model of the NVIDIA RTX 30 series laptop GPU has also achieved a step further! DDR5 memory will also begin to ship, PCIe 4.0, Wi-Fi 6E, USB4Thunderbolt 4 and other advanced technologies will also be further popularized with the release of new products, the majority of players will also usher in more outstanding new products in the waiting!
