00:00:00.079 --> 00:00:06.480
laptops just got a whole lot faster for

00:00:04.020 --> 00:00:10.800
years Intel has barely improved their mobile CPU performance and when they did

00:00:08.519 --> 00:00:14.759
they sacrificed thermals and battery life

00:00:11.700 --> 00:00:18.119
today that changes in this laptop we

00:00:14.759 --> 00:00:20.760
have 14 CPU cores that can clock up to

00:00:18.119 --> 00:00:24.779
five gigahertz while also improving the battery life this is the biggest

00:00:23.160 --> 00:00:30.359
generational uplift in laptop performance since at least ryzen 4000

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

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

00:00:37.980 --> 00:00:44.760
this segue to our sponsor iFixit thanks to iFixit for sponsoring this video

00:00:41.960 --> 00:00:48.600
ifixits I'm a genius campaign highlights leaders and the right to repair movement

00:00:46.320 --> 00:00:52.200
and shows the world that every repair is an active genius watch until the end of

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

00:00:54.360 --> 00:00:58.940
enter to win 100 to the iFixit store

00:00:59.340 --> 00:01:07.650
foreign

00:01:07.700 --> 00:01:15.540
ge76 we have the new Intel Core I9 12900

00:01:11.939 --> 00:01:18.299
HK a 10 nanometer CPU based on Intel's

00:01:15.540 --> 00:01:22.259
Alderly which has already dominated the desktop space Alder lake is a new CPU

00:01:20.880 --> 00:01:27.180
architecture that utilizes both performance and efficiency cores in the

00:01:24.780 --> 00:01:32.400
case of the 12900 HK you get six performance and eight efficiency for a

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

00:01:34.740 --> 00:01:43.799
our testing we have two nearly identical ge76 Raiders from MSI the old model has

00:01:40.320 --> 00:01:45.900
an 11th gen I9 with an RTX 3080 and as

00:01:43.799 --> 00:01:49.860
of yesterday this was about the fastest laptop money could buy as the first

00:01:47.880 --> 00:01:54.780
proper 10 nanometer implementation from Intel it was already a huge improvement

00:01:52.259 --> 00:01:59.880
over its 10th gen predecessor but it's not yesterday anymore how much faster

00:01:56.700 --> 00:02:02.280
the 12th gen in games 15 pretty much

00:01:59.880 --> 00:02:07.680
across the board in CPU bound games at 1080p we see around a 15 increase thanks

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

00:02:10.679 --> 00:02:17.879
increase thanks to the 3080 TI the performance improvements in the 3080 TI

00:02:15.300 --> 00:02:22.920
are fairly straightforward we get 1200 more Cuda cores than the normal 3080

00:02:19.680 --> 00:02:25.260
mobile and 10 extra watts to power them

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

00:02:28.560 --> 00:02:34.020
fair ways off the 10 240 Cuda cores of

00:02:32.160 --> 00:02:39.720
the desktop 3080. what I'm more interested in though is the mobile RTX

00:02:36.560 --> 00:02:40.739
3070 TI judging by the specs I'm

00:02:39.720 --> 00:02:46.560
guessing the performance difference between it and a mobile 3080 will be

00:02:43.140 --> 00:02:48.360
barely noticeable and laptops the 3070

00:02:46.560 --> 00:02:52.860
TI start at fifteen hundred dollars still a lot of cash but not too bad if

00:02:51.239 --> 00:02:57.360
you looked at the desktop card prices recently moving from gaming to

00:02:55.080 --> 00:03:02.099
productivity Alder Lake really starts to shine the multi-threaded performance

00:02:59.160 --> 00:03:06.599
Improvement is staggering with a 45 increase in cinebench and the domination

00:03:04.920 --> 00:03:11.280
just continues in all of our other benchmarks this is extraordinarily bad

00:03:09.420 --> 00:03:16.080
news for AMD since multi-core performance was kind of their thing but

00:03:13.620 --> 00:03:22.019
AMD's real advantage on mobile this whole time has been efficiency

00:03:18.420 --> 00:03:23.940
how has Intel done there very well we

00:03:22.019 --> 00:03:28.739
rarely get the opportunity to properly test out gen over gen battery life and

00:03:26.099 --> 00:03:33.659
laptops but I'm super glad we did today because otherwise it would have been

00:03:30.659 --> 00:03:36.540
pretty hard to believe the 45 increase

00:03:33.659 --> 00:03:41.519
in battery life with Alder Lake and the MSI ge76 Raider that takes us from a

00:03:39.360 --> 00:03:45.540
barely usable four and a half hours of YouTube viewing to a manageable six and

00:03:44.040 --> 00:03:50.040
a half but like that's six and a half hours in a laptop

00:03:48.180 --> 00:03:55.319
with the largest battery you can legally take on a plane Intel was very far

00:03:53.340 --> 00:03:58.680
behind AMD and apple in terms of efficiency so we'll have to wait until

00:03:57.000 --> 00:04:02.819
we get an older like laptop that is optimized for battery life rather than

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

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

00:04:09.000 --> 00:04:15.260
think back then the ASUS zephyrus g16

00:04:12.299 --> 00:04:19.859
with an 11th gen I9 and RTX 3060 thoroughly embarrassed the M1 Max in

00:04:18.239 --> 00:04:23.639
basically every situation where the media encoder wasn't taking the brunt of

00:04:21.720 --> 00:04:29.460
the workload based off that we can pretty safely say the I9 12900 HK and

00:04:26.759 --> 00:04:33.840
the RTX 3080 TI it'll perform the omax in basically everything but like

00:04:32.040 --> 00:04:37.199
this laptop doesn't fit in my backpack and goes through battery life faster

00:04:35.220 --> 00:04:40.979
than the last verse of rattling bog it freaking better outperform a MacBook

00:04:39.120 --> 00:04:44.340
where this battle will get a lot more interesting is when we start seeing how

00:04:42.540 --> 00:04:49.740
Alder like holds up in laptops like the XPS 15 and nv14 that are powerful but

00:04:47.880 --> 00:04:54.600
designed with good battery life in mind fortunately Intel has given laptop

00:04:51.960 --> 00:05:01.259
makers tons of CPUs to experiment with this generation 28 of them to be exact

00:04:57.720 --> 00:05:04.020
the H or Halo series are the super

00:05:01.259 --> 00:05:10.199
powerful boys like the 12900 HK that we've been testing of those the I5

00:05:07.100 --> 00:05:13.139
12500h really sticks out to me it gets

00:05:10.199 --> 00:05:17.160
4p cores and eight e-cores which means that it might be able to dominate the

00:05:14.940 --> 00:05:21.560
mid-range gaming laptop segment just like you'll be able to dominate the

00:05:18.419 --> 00:05:25.020
competition if you get an LTT mouse pad

00:05:21.560 --> 00:05:27.720
ltdstore.com anyway dropping the TDP

00:05:25.020 --> 00:05:32.639
down from scorching to warm we get Intel's new P series processors for

00:05:30.060 --> 00:05:37.800
thinner designs that still want a fair bit of power think of like a 14 inch

00:05:34.979 --> 00:05:43.259
Ultrabook or thinner gaming laptops top tier i7 1280p sounds like a weird

00:05:41.100 --> 00:05:48.360
resolution but is actually pretty similar to the 12900 HK with a much

00:05:45.900 --> 00:05:53.220
lower power budget the rest of the P series have four P cores and eight

00:05:50.580 --> 00:05:59.580
e-cores potentially leading to some very versatile laptops this is where AMD and

00:05:57.120 --> 00:06:04.320
maybe even Apple might be scared moving to proper thinning lights we get Intel's

00:06:02.039 --> 00:06:08.699
u-series processors most of which have two P cores and eight e-cores these are

00:06:07.080 --> 00:06:13.460
going to be rather confusing because there are both 15 watt and 9 watt

00:06:11.220 --> 00:06:18.979
versions but they share the same names uh Intel want to have the 15 watt

00:06:16.680 --> 00:06:26.220
version be the i7 1265u and the 9 watt version be the i7

00:06:23.000 --> 00:06:28.380
1260u this is going to have a massive

00:06:26.220 --> 00:06:32.639
impact on both performance and battery life and I could see a consumer being

00:06:30.180 --> 00:06:36.660
like oh these two laptops they have the same processor but one gets four hours

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

00:06:38.340 --> 00:06:44.880
also have 40 less performance to Intel's credit though normally we

00:06:43.259 --> 00:06:49.500
find something dumb and confusing about their lineup immediately for this

00:06:46.740 --> 00:06:53.819
generation we got 1138 words into the script so that's an improvement what

00:06:51.840 --> 00:06:57.240
does all this mean for AMD though are they going to be stuck just playing

00:06:55.319 --> 00:07:02.880
second fiddle once again my guess it will be more of a use case

00:06:59.699 --> 00:07:05.340
dependent sort of thing during CES AMD

00:07:02.880 --> 00:07:10.860
announced the new ryzen 6000 Rembrandt CPUs if we take AMD by their word the

00:07:08.220 --> 00:07:14.580
1.3 times Improvement in compute might be able to bring them to a similar level

00:07:12.539 --> 00:07:19.139
of single core performance as Intel's Alder Lake AMD doesn't have a hybrid

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

00:07:21.240 --> 00:07:29.639
and multi-threaded applications while Rembrandt does have going for it

00:07:26.039 --> 00:07:31.500
though our rdna2 Graphics aka the same

00:07:29.639 --> 00:07:36.060
Graphics that power the Xbox series X and PlayStation 5. AMD says there will

00:07:34.380 --> 00:07:41.639
be double the graphics performance available and there's even Ray tracing

00:07:38.580 --> 00:07:43.319
support on a freaking Apu get subscribed

00:07:41.639 --> 00:07:47.400
because I'm super excited to review these when they come out does Alder Lake

00:07:45.360 --> 00:07:53.220
have an answer for this um no in here we have the same Iris XE

00:07:50.400 --> 00:07:59.400
graphics with 96 execution units as before just with a 0.05 gigahertz clock

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

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
