1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:06,640
Intel what the heck are you doing

2
00:00:03,919 --> 00:00:10,960
you finally brought 10 nanometer to a high-powered CPU end

3
00:00:08,880 --> 00:00:14,400
according to our testing it's the fastest gaming processor you can get in

4
00:00:13,280 --> 00:00:21,920
a laptop but to show it off you sent us this

5
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:24,080
this undercooled underpowered sad excuse

6
00:00:21,920 --> 00:00:28,960
of a gaming laptop that i would be embarrassed to put my logo on do you

7
00:00:26,880 --> 00:00:34,320
have any idea how close we were to declaring your 11th gen h series

8
00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:36,960
processors uncompetitive crap thankfully

9
00:00:34,320 --> 00:00:42,960
for you before we could publish we got a proper gaming laptop thank you Gigabyte

10
00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:45,520
that manages to outperform this core i9

11
00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:50,239
junk pile in spite of the fact that it only has a core i7

12
00:00:48,160 --> 00:00:55,360
an incident that really drives home how you

13
00:00:52,719 --> 00:01:00,239
and NVIDIA and AMD for that matter have made the process of buying a laptop an

14
00:00:57,760 --> 00:01:06,000
inscrutable mess where everything is made up and the specs don't matter

15
00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:09,920
what does matter is this segue to our sponsor glasswire with glasswire you can

16
00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:13,840
instantly see your current and past network activity detect malware and

17
00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:20,680
block badly behaving apps on your pc or Android device use offer code Linus to

18
00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:20,680
get 25 off at the link below

19
00:01:27,119 --> 00:01:35,439
let's kick off with the good news the core i7 11800h and our Gigabyte ars15p

20
00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:38,240
here is a beast i mean honestly i

21
00:01:35,439 --> 00:01:42,880
thought our ASUS strixgard g733 with his AMD ryzen 5900 ajax would ground pound

22
00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:47,759
this poor thing but that was not the case at all

23
00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:52,960
both laptops feature an NVIDIA rtx 3080 with a 130 watt TDP and in our selection

24
00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:57,040
of CPU bound games the i7 took a convincing lead in every

25
00:01:55,280 --> 00:02:01,040
single one but how

26
00:01:58,399 --> 00:02:07,040
in a big shocker to everyone maybe even themselves Intel finally shipped a high

27
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:08,959
performance CPU that isn't on 14

28
00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:13,920
nanometer this this is 10 nanometer super finfet baby

29
00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:19,599
and it's real good i i'm i'm still surprised i mean after

30
00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:26,319
Intel promised that rocket lake would be 20 faster and then that turned into 20

31
00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:28,879
faster in certain avx workloads but

32
00:02:26,319 --> 00:02:31,840
actually overall the same or slightly worse

33
00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:35,760
i didn't think this could happen but our tests don't lie

34
00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:40,560
now i should mention that we don't have a proper 10th gen CPU from Intel to test

35
00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:46,959
directly against but the thing is a new champion only has

36
00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:49,440
to defeat the previous champion so

37
00:02:46,959 --> 00:02:54,319
i guess we don't really need one moving on in spec workstation an hours

38
00:02:52,239 --> 00:02:59,840
long CPU test that runs through a wide variety of workstation tasks the i7

39
00:02:56,640 --> 00:03:03,519
11800h which has the same eight cores

40
00:02:59,840 --> 00:03:06,319
and 16 threads bested the ryzen 9 5900x

41
00:03:03,519 --> 00:03:11,040
in the vast majority of tasks now there are certainly still places that ryzen is

42
00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:15,280
king heavily multi-threaded applications like video or photo rendering continue

43
00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:20,400
to favor team red but it seems like Intel has done a really good job of

44
00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:22,480
boosting hard in single threaded or even

45
00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:27,040
moderately threaded workloads so situations where four cores are getting

46
00:03:24,640 --> 00:03:30,159
hit instead of all eight are where Intel shines

47
00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:36,000
back to the point i was making earlier however you want to know what else our

48
00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:37,200
Intel core i7 11800h bested in nearly

49
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:43,040
every test the core i9 11 980 hk

50
00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:48,560
yes i too was surprised at first but then

51
00:03:46,799 --> 00:03:54,080
looking at the two laptops we have on hand the reason is fairly obvious the

52
00:03:51,280 --> 00:04:00,319
auras 15p offers significantly more cooling and power to its i7 than our MSI

53
00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:06,239
made Intel reference system gives to its i9 and with how dependent these 11th gen

54
00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:09,599
chips are on aggressively turboing that's going to have an outsized impact

55
00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:14,560
on performance i mean i get the point that Intel was

56
00:04:11,519 --> 00:04:16,799
trying to make sending this slim sexy

57
00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:20,239
reference system they wanted to show us that they could compete with this new

58
00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:25,600
class of high-performance thinning lights that AMD currently dominates with

59
00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:26,479
designs like the rog flow x13

60
00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:31,600
but what they ended up showing us is that

61
00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:36,000
no they actually can't because the secret sauce that makes an

62
00:04:33,759 --> 00:04:40,240
eight-core CPU perform well in a design like this

63
00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:42,560
is efficiency and Intel is still

64
00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:46,800
struggling to deliver this is a problem industry-wide right now with NVIDIA's

65
00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:52,080
3000 series mobile processors being a prime example there are real world

66
00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:55,919
situations where an rtx 3070 mobile can

67
00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:58,479
outperform an rtx 3080 mobile that is if

68
00:04:55,919 --> 00:05:02,800
the 3070 gets more power and more cooling now under pressure from

69
00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:07,600
customers and media NVIDIA has started disclosing the tdps of their mobile gpus

70
00:05:05,280 --> 00:05:13,120
on a product by product basis so this problem has been addressed somewhat but

71
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:16,560
it hasn't been entirely solved and it's

72
00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:18,880
a lot more complicated with cpus now i

73
00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:23,919
could advocate for strict adherents by oems to stick to Intel's TDP similar to

74
00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:29,360
the multi-threaded enhancement debacle with the 8th gen desktop chips but the

75
00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:34,240
issue is that in laptops i don't actually think everyone completely

76
00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:38,800
playing by the rules is a good solution this would bring CPU temperatures down

77
00:05:36,479 --> 00:05:41,840
across the board on laptops and it would make comparison shopping between various

78
00:05:40,479 --> 00:05:46,720
devices easier but it would also mean that performance

79
00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:52,240
is being left on the table i i mean i still don't like it but outside of the

80
00:05:49,039 --> 00:05:55,039
biggest beefiest laptops a mobile CPU is

81
00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:59,759
supposed to be at or close to 100 degrees under full load that's when it's

82
00:05:57,199 --> 00:06:04,560
performing its best and given that all the macbook pros from 2016 aren't dead

83
00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:08,639
yet it stands to reason that running at 80 degrees probably isn't necessary

84
00:06:07,919 --> 00:06:16,400
so then what needs to change is how mobile cpus are marketed

85
00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:20,000
having a core i9 11 980 hk that can

86
00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:22,479
boost up to 4.9 gigahertz on four cores

87
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:28,240
that sounds amazing but having four cores that boost to 4.9

88
00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:34,479
gigahertz for a couple of nanoseconds before overwhelming your laptop's cooler

89
00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:35,600
and vrms only to drop down to 2.8 is not

90
00:06:34,479 --> 00:06:41,600
amazing so what we're asking is for you to take some pride in your processors Intel

91
00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:45,199
like we do with our water bottles on lttstore.com

92
00:06:43,199 --> 00:06:50,240
it's going to be a lot of work but the thing is you've run programs like this

93
00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:55,440
before create a certification process to ensure that when someone buys a laptop

94
00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:57,039
with an 11th gen i9 core h badge on it

95
00:06:55,440 --> 00:07:01,840
that's going to mean that they have the fastest gaming CPU out there

96
00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:05,840
not that they got screwed out of 200 that they could have easily saved by

97
00:07:03,919 --> 00:07:10,400
getting the same or even better performance with a core i7

98
00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:14,479
now i would suggest that part of this validation would be ensuring that the

99
00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:19,039
laptop can actually deliver turbo boost speeds for an extended period of time

100
00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:25,039
let's say a target somewhere between two or or five minutes and then you lay down

101
00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:29,520
the law you tell your partners that if you can't handle it then you're locked

102
00:07:27,199 --> 00:07:33,680
to core i7 or even core i5 for that matter on that design

103
00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:37,520
because until you guys fix this consumers are forced to rely on

104
00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:41,360
third-party reviews or knowledgeable sales representatives to

105
00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:45,759
figure out how a laptop is going to perform and you aren't going to be

106
00:07:43,759 --> 00:07:50,080
creating a lot of goodwill when they end up with a device that they thought was

107
00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:55,280
fast they thought it was top of the line and then discover later that it's not or

108
00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:59,360
if you want to do none of that at least don't make the reference sample of your

109
00:07:57,199 --> 00:08:03,280
brand new CPU that you give to reviewers an underpowered mess Gigabyte really

110
00:08:01,759 --> 00:08:08,160
saved your butts here sending over a product that offers stellar gaming and

111
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:11,280
all-around performance at a reasonable thickness with a good-looking 240hz

112
00:08:10,319 --> 00:08:16,960
display like guys if you're going to create the fastest mobile on the block you should

113
00:08:14,960 --> 00:08:20,240
be making sure that that's what we're focused on when we're reviewing the

114
00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:25,360
product so we don't think to talk about something like battery life until we're

115
00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:32,080
deep into our testing which oh i guess we're there now so yeah the

116
00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:34,719
aeris 15p managed 5 hours and 18 minutes

117
00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:40,080
of battery life from its 99 watt hour battery which for context is quite

118
00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:45,360
literally the largest battery capacity possible to put in a laptop by law

119
00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:51,120
now i would expect a similarly equipped AMD laptop to get more like 9 to 10

120
00:08:48,399 --> 00:08:55,519
hours so there's still a very strong case to be made for choosing ryzen

121
00:08:53,440 --> 00:09:00,000
we do plan on getting some more laptops that are actually identical except for

122
00:08:57,920 --> 00:09:04,959
which team they bat for to properly tell you which one is best but for now at

123
00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:08,720
least what we can say is if you go out and buy a laptop with a blue badge you

124
00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:13,200
might be giving up some battery life but you are not automatically an idiot

125
00:09:10,880 --> 00:09:18,080
there's a lot of good blue team designs out there Thunderbolt 4 offers fast i o

126
00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:22,959
and easy docking and those sweet sweet FPS my big complaint

127
00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:29,519
right now is that i wish that when you saw a core i9 badge you knew how much

128
00:09:25,279 --> 00:09:31,519
performance you were actually getting

129
00:09:29,519 --> 00:09:36,880
you know what never underperforms though my segues to our sponsors like blinkist

130
00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:40,080

because making an informed decision while buying a laptop now is shockingly

146
00:10:35,920 --> 00:10:38,560
tough
