1
00:00:00,079 --> 00:00:06,480
laptops just got a whole lot faster for

2
00:00:04,020 --> 00:00:10,800
years Intel has barely improved their mobile CPU performance and when they did

3
00:00:08,519 --> 00:00:14,759
they sacrificed thermals and battery life

4
00:00:11,700 --> 00:00:18,119
today that changes in this laptop we

5
00:00:14,759 --> 00:00:20,760
have 14 CPU cores that can clock up to

6
00:00:18,119 --> 00:00:24,779
five gigahertz while also improving the battery life this is the biggest

7
00:00:23,160 --> 00:00:30,359
generational uplift in laptop performance since at least ryzen 4000

8
00:00:27,480 --> 00:00:35,640
and maybe even longer oh and this thing also has an RTX 3080 TI in it so just

9
00:00:33,360 --> 00:00:40,260
how much better will laptops be in 2022 I'll show you right after I show you

10
00:00:37,980 --> 00:00:44,760
this segue to our sponsor iFixit thanks to iFixit for sponsoring this video

11
00:00:41,960 --> 00:00:48,600
ifixits I'm a genius campaign highlights leaders and the right to repair movement

12
00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:52,200
and shows the world that every repair is an active genius watch until the end of

13
00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:58,940
the video to find out how you can show the world your active genius and how to

enter to win 100 to the iFixit store

15
00:00:59,340 --> 00:01:07,650
foreign

16
00:01:07,700 --> 00:01:15,540
ge76 we have the new Intel Core I9 12900

17
00:01:11,939 --> 00:01:18,299
HK a 10 nanometer CPU based on Intel's

18
00:01:15,540 --> 00:01:22,259
Alderly which has already dominated the desktop space Alder lake is a new CPU

19
00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:27,180
architecture that utilizes both performance and efficiency cores in the

20
00:01:24,780 --> 00:01:32,400
case of the 12900 HK you get six performance and eight efficiency for a

21
00:01:29,460 --> 00:01:36,920
total of 20 threads that's the most we have ever seen in a mobile processor for

22
00:01:34,740 --> 00:01:43,799
our testing we have two nearly identical ge76 Raiders from MSI the old model has

23
00:01:40,320 --> 00:01:45,900
an 11th gen I9 with an RTX 3080 and as

24
00:01:43,799 --> 00:01:49,860
of yesterday this was about the fastest laptop money could buy as the first

25
00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:54,780
proper 10 nanometer implementation from Intel it was already a huge improvement

26
00:01:52,259 --> 00:01:59,880
over its 10th gen predecessor but it's not yesterday anymore how much faster

27
00:01:56,700 --> 00:02:02,280
the 12th gen in games 15 pretty much

28
00:01:59,880 --> 00:02:07,680
across the board in CPU bound games at 1080p we see around a 15 increase thanks

29
00:02:05,399 --> 00:02:13,260
to the 12th gen press processor and in GPU bound games at 4K we see around a 15

30
00:02:10,679 --> 00:02:17,879
increase thanks to the 3080 TI the performance improvements in the 3080 TI

31
00:02:15,300 --> 00:02:22,920
are fairly straightforward we get 1200 more Cuda cores than the normal 3080

32
00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:25,260
mobile and 10 extra watts to power them

33
00:02:22,920 --> 00:02:32,160
if you happen to really know your GPU specs though the 38 TI mobile is still a

34
00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:34,020
fair ways off the 10 240 Cuda cores of

35
00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:39,720
the desktop 3080. what I'm more interested in though is the mobile RTX

36
00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:40,739
3070 TI judging by the specs I'm

37
00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:46,560
guessing the performance difference between it and a mobile 3080 will be

38
00:02:43,140 --> 00:02:48,360
barely noticeable and laptops the 3070

39
00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:52,860
TI start at fifteen hundred dollars still a lot of cash but not too bad if

40
00:02:51,239 --> 00:02:57,360
you looked at the desktop card prices recently moving from gaming to

41
00:02:55,080 --> 00:03:02,099
productivity Alder Lake really starts to shine the multi-threaded performance

42
00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:06,599
Improvement is staggering with a 45 increase in cinebench and the domination

43
00:03:04,920 --> 00:03:11,280
just continues in all of our other benchmarks this is extraordinarily bad

44
00:03:09,420 --> 00:03:16,080
news for AMD since multi-core performance was kind of their thing but

45
00:03:13,620 --> 00:03:22,019
AMD's real advantage on mobile this whole time has been efficiency

46
00:03:18,420 --> 00:03:23,940
how has Intel done there very well we

47
00:03:22,019 --> 00:03:28,739
rarely get the opportunity to properly test out gen over gen battery life and

48
00:03:26,099 --> 00:03:33,659
laptops but I'm super glad we did today because otherwise it would have been

49
00:03:30,659 --> 00:03:36,540
pretty hard to believe the 45 increase

50
00:03:33,659 --> 00:03:41,519
in battery life with Alder Lake and the MSI ge76 Raider that takes us from a

51
00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:45,540
barely usable four and a half hours of YouTube viewing to a manageable six and

52
00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:50,040
a half but like that's six and a half hours in a laptop

53
00:03:48,180 --> 00:03:55,319
with the largest battery you can legally take on a plane Intel was very far

54
00:03:53,340 --> 00:03:58,680
behind AMD and apple in terms of efficiency so we'll have to wait until

55
00:03:57,000 --> 00:04:02,819
we get an older like laptop that is optimized for battery life rather than

56
00:04:01,260 --> 00:04:07,260
performance to see if they closed the Gap we already saw in a review of the M1

57
00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:12,299
Max that Apple doesn't have as big of a performance lead as they would have you

58
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:15,260
think back then the ASUS zephyrus g16

59
00:04:12,299 --> 00:04:19,859
with an 11th gen I9 and RTX 3060 thoroughly embarrassed the M1 Max in

60
00:04:18,239 --> 00:04:23,639
basically every situation where the media encoder wasn't taking the brunt of

61
00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:29,460
the workload based off that we can pretty safely say the I9 12900 HK and

62
00:04:26,759 --> 00:04:33,840
the RTX 3080 TI it'll perform the omax in basically everything but like

63
00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:37,199
this laptop doesn't fit in my backpack and goes through battery life faster

64
00:04:35,220 --> 00:04:40,979
than the last verse of rattling bog it freaking better outperform a MacBook

65
00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:44,340
where this battle will get a lot more interesting is when we start seeing how

66
00:04:42,540 --> 00:04:49,740
Alder like holds up in laptops like the XPS 15 and nv14 that are powerful but

67
00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:54,600
designed with good battery life in mind fortunately Intel has given laptop

68
00:04:51,960 --> 00:05:01,259
makers tons of CPUs to experiment with this generation 28 of them to be exact

69
00:04:57,720 --> 00:05:04,020
the H or Halo series are the super

70
00:05:01,259 --> 00:05:10,199
powerful boys like the 12900 HK that we've been testing of those the I5

71
00:05:07,100 --> 00:05:13,139
12500h really sticks out to me it gets

72
00:05:10,199 --> 00:05:17,160
4p cores and eight e-cores which means that it might be able to dominate the

73
00:05:14,940 --> 00:05:21,560
mid-range gaming laptop segment just like you'll be able to dominate the

74
00:05:18,419 --> 00:05:25,020
competition if you get an LTT mouse pad

75
00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:27,720
ltdstore.com anyway dropping the TDP

76
00:05:25,020 --> 00:05:32,639
down from scorching to warm we get Intel's new P series processors for

77
00:05:30,060 --> 00:05:37,800
thinner designs that still want a fair bit of power think of like a 14 inch

78
00:05:34,979 --> 00:05:43,259
Ultrabook or thinner gaming laptops top tier i7 1280p sounds like a weird

79
00:05:41,100 --> 00:05:48,360
resolution but is actually pretty similar to the 12900 HK with a much

80
00:05:45,900 --> 00:05:53,220
lower power budget the rest of the P series have four P cores and eight

81
00:05:50,580 --> 00:05:59,580
e-cores potentially leading to some very versatile laptops this is where AMD and

82
00:05:57,120 --> 00:06:04,320
maybe even Apple might be scared moving to proper thinning lights we get Intel's

83
00:06:02,039 --> 00:06:08,699
u-series processors most of which have two P cores and eight e-cores these are

84
00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:13,460
going to be rather confusing because there are both 15 watt and 9 watt

85
00:06:11,220 --> 00:06:18,979
versions but they share the same names uh Intel want to have the 15 watt

86
00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:26,220
version be the i7 1265u and the 9 watt version be the i7

87
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:28,380
1260u this is going to have a massive

88
00:06:26,220 --> 00:06:32,639
impact on both performance and battery life and I could see a consumer being

89
00:06:30,180 --> 00:06:36,660
like oh these two laptops they have the same processor but one gets four hours

90
00:06:34,380 --> 00:06:40,860
more battery life I'll get that one but what they don't know is that they'll

91
00:06:38,340 --> 00:06:44,880
also have 40 less performance to Intel's credit though normally we

92
00:06:43,259 --> 00:06:49,500
find something dumb and confusing about their lineup immediately for this

93
00:06:46,740 --> 00:06:53,819
generation we got 1138 words into the script so that's an improvement what

94
00:06:51,840 --> 00:06:57,240
does all this mean for AMD though are they going to be stuck just playing

95
00:06:55,319 --> 00:07:02,880
second fiddle once again my guess it will be more of a use case

96
00:06:59,699 --> 00:07:05,340
dependent sort of thing during CES AMD

97
00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:10,860
announced the new ryzen 6000 Rembrandt CPUs if we take AMD by their word the

98
00:07:08,220 --> 00:07:14,580
1.3 times Improvement in compute might be able to bring them to a similar level

99
00:07:12,539 --> 00:07:19,139
of single core performance as Intel's Alder Lake AMD doesn't have a hybrid

100
00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:23,460
architecture though so I doubt AMD's a cores will be able to take on Intel's 14

101
00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:29,639
and multi-threaded applications while Rembrandt does have going for it

102
00:07:26,039 --> 00:07:31,500
though our rdna2 Graphics aka the same

103
00:07:29,639 --> 00:07:36,060
Graphics that power the Xbox series X and PlayStation 5. AMD says there will

104
00:07:34,380 --> 00:07:41,639
be double the graphics performance available and there's even Ray tracing

105
00:07:38,580 --> 00:07:43,319
support on a freaking Apu get subscribed

106
00:07:41,639 --> 00:07:47,400
because I'm super excited to review these when they come out does Alder Lake

107
00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:53,220
have an answer for this um no in here we have the same Iris XE

108
00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:59,400
graphics with 96 execution units as before just with a 0.05 gigahertz clock

109
00:07:56,460 --> 00:08:04,259
speed Improvement but hey we got to give AMD something here it's crazy what a bit

110
00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:08,099
of competition can do and Intel I'm really glad you've come back to join the

111
