From its listing last year to the present, Thor ZERO has been deeply loved and recognized by everyone. The distinctive design is very much in line with the aesthetics of contemporary young people. Coupled with excellent performance, in the high-end market of the game book spelled out a world, due to the excellent performance and reputation of the product, last year also once appeared in short supply.
This year, after the release of Intel's 12th generation standard voltage processor, Thor ZERO has also been iterated, so how does the new Thor ZERO 2022 perform? Let's take a look.
【Appearance Introduction】
Thor ZERO 2022 continues the previous style in the appearance design, the whole machine still uses a fairly recognizable orange, so that people can see at a glance the positioning of its game style, which is a very good design for users who pursue appearance personality.
The lines on the A surface are similar to the design of the letters and the painting style of the sports car, and the surface adopts a diamond-shaped texture design, and the texture of the touch is a little rough, which is similar to the metal drill cutting on the back panel of the mobile phone in previous years.
The logo at the top and the rear air outlet position have the design of the light strip, so that the game atmosphere of the whole machine is full.
The border performance of the B side is decent, after the use of 2560 * 1600 resolution 16:10 screen, the control of the lower border is very good, which is very helpful for improving the look and feel of the screen surface.
The top camera position does not have a peeping cover, which is acceptable for the game, and the buffer strip at the edge is still intact, which can improve reliability to a certain extent.
The C-side keyboard feels decent, which is normal for a machine of this level. At the same time, the entire C-side is made of metal, which is much better to the touch than plastic, and it is easier to clean.
Thor ZERO 2022's keyboard supports RGB backlight adjustment, which is a must-have skill for high-end game books, and RGB understands it.
【Interface Introduction】
In the interface section, there is a USB-A interface and a 3.5mm audio interface on the left side of the fuselage.
There are 2 A-ports on the right side of the fuselage.
The rear side is the power interface, RJ45 network cable interface, HDMI2.0 interface, USB-C interface (Thunderbolt four non-PD), miniDP interface.
The addition of Thor ZERO 2022 standalone miniDP and HDMI2.0 is good news for users with external screen requirements.
【Configuration Introduction】
In terms of configuration, the model obtained is equipped with the latest version of the 12th generation Intel Core i7 processor, and other parameters are also commonly used in high-end games.
In terms of CPU parameters, the specifications of the 14 processor cores of the Intel i7-12700H processor are quite luxurious, and the specifications use a 10nm process, 14 cores and 20 threads, and the size of the ADL core architecture, which contains 6 performance cores (P cores) and 8 energy consumption ratio cores (E cores).
【Heat dissipation test】
The first is the single-bake, violent mode, the CPU single-bake power consumption is finally maintained at 100W, the temperature is 97 degrees, the frequency P-core is 3.6 GHz, and the E-core is 2.9GHz.
In dual-roast rampage mode, the CPU power consumption is finally 55W, the frequency P core is 2.7GHz, the E core is 2.3GHz, the temperature is 93 degrees, the graphics card power consumption is 123W, the frequency is 1425MHz, and the temperature is 86.8 degrees.
The surface temperature is shown in the figure.
From the perspective of power consumption, the performance of Thor ZERO 2022 is no problem, and it can also achieve a heat dissipation score of about 180W in the furious mode, and the dual core temperature is also acceptable. In terms of surface temperature, the wasD key position of 38 degrees and the wrist rest of 30 degrees are quite good compared to the performance of the competitors of the same level, and the high temperature area is in the upper right part of the keyboard, which basically does not affect the usual use.
【Performance measurement】
First of all, R15 and R20 tests, we can see that whether it is R15 or R20 tests, the performance of the 12th generation standard pressure i7 processor has improved significantly compared with before, whether it is the limit performance or the entire energy consumption ratio curve, it has improved compared with the 11th generation. In terms of horizontal comparison, because the current mainstream models have sufficient power consumption in the running time-sharing, the gap is only between Bozhong.
R15 test
R20 test
In the 3D Mark running score test, due to the RTX3070TI graphics card, the performance of Thor ZERO 2022 is still quite good, slightly higher than the competitors of the same configuration, second only to the 3080 of 165W, compared with a number of 3060 graphics cards, the theoretical performance gap is about 20%.
3D Mark running score test
Pr test link Thor ZERO 2022 performance is stable, especially in the software decoding, the performance is very eye-catching, which is also due to the excellent performance of the i7 processor, so that all models equipped with 12th generation standard voltage U have improved compared with the old model.
PR testing
【Screen Test】
The screen of Thor ZERO 2022 is a "three-high" screen (high score + high brush + highlight) from BOE, with 2560*1600 resolution, 100% sRGB high color gamut, 165Hz refresh rate and 500nit maximum brightness, and supports 10bit color depth.
After actual measurement, the screen of Thor ZERO 2022 is excellent in terms of color gamut coverage and actual color accuracy performance, which is the optimal solution for this positioning machine.
【Endurance test】
In terms of endurance test, Thor ZERO 2022 consumes 28% of the power in 28 minutes in the PC Mark10 productivity template, and the actual light office life is expected to be about 3-4 hours, which is normal for the standard pressure i7 and 3070TI.
【Game Test】
Thor ZERO 2022 supports a single direct connection, both in terms of frame count and stability of the game itself, so we give two different test results as usual for reference.
It can be seen that after opening the unique direct connection, the frame rate of all games has increased, especially the online games with high frame rates, the increase in frame rate is also the most obvious.
In general, Thor ZERO 2022 is a machine that has made its own characteristics, the cool shape and lighting are still relatively capable at this price, the performance release of Intel's 12th generation standard voltage processor under high load is also very powerful, the performance of 3070TI graphics card has been significantly improved than 3060, and the original standard 32G memory is very worry-free for users who are too lazy to upgrade.
