Last week's PC industry was brilliant, on March 9, Apple launched the self-developed chip M1 Ultra, which is composed of two M1 Max chips to achieve ultra-high energy efficiency ratio; Lenovo's new notebook equipped with Intel's 12th generation Core Mobile i9-12900HX processor was exposed, and the performance reached a new height; digital bloggers released the running score and game test data of NVIDIA GeForce MX550 notebook graphics card, and the theoretical running score was inferior to AMD Ryzen 6000H display. Some games lead the way in frame rates; finally, Redmi's new RedmiBook Pro series of notebooks will be released on Thursday.
Apple M1 Ultra will play the "glue chip" out of the metacosm
In the early morning of March 9, Beijing time, Apple launched the new model M1 Ultra in the M1 series of chips, which is composed of two M1 Max chips, using a 5nm process, the number of transistors is as high as 114 billion, integrating 20-core CPU and 64-core GPU, supporting up to 128GB of unified memory, and bandwidth up to 800GB/s.
The architecture of the two chips connected together is actually not new at all, the Chiplets architecture of amD Ryzen™s processor, Intel Xeon's Sapphire Rapids, the MCM package used in NVIDIA's next-generation GPU... This kind of design method is called "glue dafa" by the people. But what is amazing is that Apple's so-called "Ultra Fusion" hyperconverged architecture in the M1 Ultra has a bandwidth of up to 2.5TB/s, achieving an extremely high energy efficiency ratio.
The performance indicators announced by the Mac Studio, which is the first to be equipped with the M1 Ultra chip, are even stronger than the sky. Both CPU performance and GPU performance are much faster than the version of the x86 architecture. The M1 Ultra version has 3.8 times faster CPU performance than the 27-inch iMac and 90% faster than the 16-core Mac Pro.
Spicy cool comment: Although M1 Ultra, the "glue architecture" AMD, Intel, NVIDIA and other giants are doing, but to be able to play such a high energy efficiency is apple. Originally thought that Max is the top model in the M1 series, it seems that we are naïve, maybe there will be M1 Extreme next year, M1 meta universe is just around the corner?
Intel i9-12900HX processor appears notebook into the 16-core era
Recently, GeekBench 5 database appeared a mysterious Lenovo notebook, the processor model used is more special: i9-12900HX, from the naming law, should belong to the 12th generation Core mobile version of the top H55 series, 16 core 24 thread specifications are also directly comparable to the top desktop processor, multi-core performance burst, extremely powerful.
Intel's hybrid architecture of 12th Generation Core has already shown great dominance, and the HX model unveiled this time is expected to unlock higher TDP and take the performance of mobile processors to a new level. It is reported that this notebook is also equipped with GeForce RTX3080Ti notebook GPU, which is also the strongest model at present, so the performance of this product is also very exciting.
Spicy cool comment: Once upon a time, 4-core notebooks were already high-end products, and now AMD and Intel stack up the core to be simple, don't be too crazy, the mobile version has 16 cores! Without saying anything, go home and cry my duo Core To go.
· NVIDIA MX550 graphics card running score exposure: running score is inferior to AMD nuclear display
Digital blogger @Golden Pig Upgrade Pack released the 3DMark running score of NVIDIA GeForce MX550 notebook graphics card, which scored 6058 points and 2456 points in the FireStrike and Time Spy tests, which was lower than the AMD Ryzen™ 6800H integrated graphics card 7573 and 6058 points.
However, in some 1080p resolution games, such as Total War: Legendary Troy, F1 2018, CS:GO, Dota2, etc., the frame rate performance is better. However, this is the MX550 with 35W power consumption and 2GB of video memory, and it is said that there is a full-blood version with 4GB of video memory, which should run higher.
Spicy cool comment: GeForce MX series notebook GPU has always been a tasteless, discarded chicken rib state, this score exposure side confirmed that the APU of the Ryzen 6000 series is really strong! I believe that there will be no manufacturer to do APU +MX unique configuration of the notebook, right?
· The RedmiBook Pro 15 2022 will come with a 10-core i7-12650H
Redmi will hold a new product launch on March 17, when in addition to the much-watched K50 series of smartphones, there will be a number of new products such as TVs, routers, notebooks and so on. Among them, the 2022 RedmiBook Pro series laptops will be available in newer 14-inch and 15-inch versions.
The RedmiBook Pro 15 2022 has appeared in the Geekbench database, using Intel's 12th generation Core i7-12650H processor. The i7-12650H adopts a hybrid architecture design, with 6 large cores and 4 small cores, a total of 10 cores and 16 threads, the highest turbo frequency can reach 4.7GHz, equipped with 24MB L3 cache, the default TDP is 45W, and the 64EU sharp moment Xe core graphics card is integrated. The single-core score in Geekbench is 1800 and the multi-core score is as high as 11872, which is a huge performance improvement over the 11th-generation Core H35 processor used by the RedmiBook Pro 15 Plus last year.
In terms of design, it is expected that RedmiBook Pro 15 2022 will continue to use the current mold, and the screen is equipped with a 15.6-inch super retina full screen, 3.2K resolution, 90Hz refresh rate, covering 100% sRGB color gamut, supporting hardware anti-blue light and DC dimming.
Spicy cool comment: Redmi's models, whether it is mobile phones or laptops, seem to have evolved more and more mature, there is a tendency to turn over the friendly business "xiaomi", I don't know what Lei always thinks?
