First, the preface: AMD super platform excellent platform notebook new
In recent years, more and more domestic brands have risen strongly, they often have super high cost performance, and the quality is not inferior to international brands. In the field of notebooks, Xuanpai is one of them.
As an emerging notebook brand, Xuanpai was incubated by Shenzhen Eway Group and JD.com in 2022, and Eway Group has been deeply engaged in the PC market for more than 20 years, and its products cover various fields such as game e-sports, office design, and ecological peripherals, but it has long been behind the scenes, so it is not well known to the public.
Recently, Xuanpai released a new generation of AMD Chaowei excellent platform game book "Xuanpai Xuanji Star", and we have got it for fast technology.
The "3A" platform on DIY is naturally no stranger to everyone, and the processor, graphics card, and motherboard are all from AMD.
On the mobile side, AMD focused on launching the AMD Advantage, which not only has a full set of AMD hardware configurations, but also brings four intelligent technologies of SmartShift Max, SmartShift Eco, Smart Access Graphics, and Smart Access Memory (SAM) to notebooks, releasing the potential of AMD hardware, so that mobile platforms have stronger performance. Longer battery life and more useful features.
The Xuanpai Xuanji Star notebook we received is a member of AMD's excellent platform.
In terms of configuration, its processor uses the Zen 3+ architecture of Ryzen 7 7735H, based on TSMC's 6nm process, 8 large cores and 16 threads, base frequency 3.2GHz, maximum acceleration frequency 4.75GHz, and L3 cache 16MB.
The GPU discrete graphics card is Radeon RX 7600M XT, using the new RDNA 3 architecture, 32 computing units, 64 raster units, a total of 2048 stream processors, integrated 32MB Infinity Cache cache, with 8GB GDDR6 video memory, memory width of 128-bit, bandwidth of 288GB/s.
The base default frequency of the Radeon RX 7600M XT is 2300MHz and power consumption is up to 120W, but 130W can be achieved by dynamically distributing power through the AMD SmartShift system.
Coupled with Smart Access Memory, it can reduce the communication bottleneck between the CPU and the GPU, making this graphics card enough for dessert on the mobile side.
Next, let's take a look at how this Xuanpai Xuanji star notebook based on AMD's excellent platform performs.
Second, the appearance: the combination of national style and science and technology 16.1-inch 2.5K 165Hz screen

7. Oven and battery life: The power consumption of the whole machine can reach 150W, and the 80Wh battery brings more than 7 hours of battery life
- Oven test
1. CPU single baking
After 10 minutes of FPU roasting with AIDA64, the power consumption of the Ryzen 7 7735H is 73W, the voltage is about 1.1V, the all-core frequency is 4.1GHz, and the temperature is 83 degrees Celsius.
2. GPU single baking
Using a FurMark roaster, select 1080P+ resolution to turn off anti-aliasing.
The RX 7600M XT graphics card is baked for 10 minutes, at a frequency of up to 1941MHz, a temperature of 80°C, and a power consumption of up to 130W.
3. Double roast
On the basis of the graphics card roaster, start the CPU Burner for a 10-minute bake test.
At this time, the power of the Ryzen 7 7735H is about 40W, the all-core frequency is 3.5GHz, and the temperature is 90 degrees Celsius.
The RX 7600M XT graphics card has a frequency of 1610MHz, a temperature of up to 79°C, and a stable power consumption of 110W.
In other words, the performance release of the Xuanpai Xuanji Star can reach 150W.
- Battery life test
Xuanpai Xuanji Star has a built-in large battery with a capacity of 80Wh, and we used PCMark 10 to actually test the endurance.
The scenario selected for the test is PCMark 10 Modern Office, the graphics card mode is SAG mode, the power mode is changed to "Best Energy Efficiency", the fan mode is changed to "Seal Mode" in the Xuanji Hub, and the screen brightness is adjusted to 50%.
From the 100% battery test to the remaining 4%, 96% of the battery gives a battery life of 7 hours and 7 minutes. This result is good for a game.
In the past, we have tested Intel processor + NVIDIA mainstream graphics card and other game book configurations, the battery life is about 5-6 hours.
Because it is a game book, there are not many scenarios for the use of electricity, basically fixed scenes, but when going out and power outages, it can also provide users with the need to use for most of the day.
8. Summary: AMD Chaowei excellent platform takes into account both performance and battery life The 6K price is very close to the people
With the blessing of AMD's excellent platform, whether it is performance, temperature, or battery life, the performance of this Xuanpai Xuanji star is very good.
1. Performance
The Ryzen™ 7 7735H processor is derived from the very mature Zen 3+ architecture and has stable performance.
With the addition of AMD's excellent platform, through the deployment of AMD SmartShift technology performance, the performance of the RX 7600M XT graphics card has been further developed, and the power consumption release of 130W can be easily achieved, coupled with exclusive features such as Smart Access Memory, which can bring users a great gaming experience.
1080P highest picture quality game measurement, RX 7600M XT compared to the RTX 4060 Laptop released by 140W, the two play back and forth, the actual performance is very close, the strength can be said to be comparable, RX 7600M XT energy efficiency ratio is very good.
Coupled with the 165Hz high-brush screen, it also supports FreeSync technology, which can effectively prevent the game screen from tearing and ensure that the game experience is not compromised.
2. Heat dissipation
Xuanji Star is very willing to use materials in heat dissipation, the hardware has 5 copper tube dual fans, phase change silicone grease composed of Xuanbing heat dissipation system, and the software has the blessing of AMD SmartShift and other technologies to achieve all-round play.
In double roasting, the performance release of the whole machine can reach 150W, and the temperature regulation is within 90 °C. Lower temperatures ensure more stable and long-lasting system operation.
On the I+N platform combination, you can often see a temperature above 95 °C, which further highlights the high energy efficiency of AMD's excellent platform.
3. Battery life
AMD SmartShift technology brings not only excellent performance, but also automatically switches between integrated and exclusive graphics according to the usage scenario.
For example, when the power supply is connected, the independent output screen is directly called to ensure lower and smoother game latency; When using the battery, the integrated display output can effectively improve the battery life of the device.
The measured Xuanpai Xuanji Star can achieve 7 hours of battery life, which is quite high compared to the 3-5 hours of similar game books.
If you like to play high-quality games and the budget is not too much, then this Xuanpai Xuanji star that only costs 5999 yuan, the price is close enough to the people, it is very worth considering.
