1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:07,680
the array of laptops we lined up to take a look at NVIDIA's new super rtx mobile

2
00:00:05,120 --> 00:00:11,679
gpus didn't make it in time because of a little global pandemic so

3
00:00:10,559 --> 00:00:16,400
new plan Gigabyte sponsored this video to show

4
00:00:13,759 --> 00:00:21,600
off the rs15g and an all-new design from them that they claim is the gaming

5
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:23,680
notebook redefined but for us it also

6
00:00:21,600 --> 00:00:29,599
happens to house a brand new 10th gen CPU from Intel and a shiny new rtx super

7
00:00:26,720 --> 00:00:34,640
GPU from NVIDIA so we're going to use it to take a closer look at Intel's claims

8
00:00:32,160 --> 00:00:38,960
about how much faster 10th gen designs will be compared to gaming laptops from

9
00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:42,079
three years ago have CPU's really gotten that much

10
00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:46,399
faster or is something else at play here

11
00:00:44,640 --> 00:00:56,879
spoiler alert it's something else

12
00:00:56,879 --> 00:01:03,680
when questioned Intel acknowledged that the comparison to three-year-old laptops

13
00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:09,280
was not really apples to apples and while we have gone from 7th gen all the

14
00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:11,119
way to 10th gen mobile cpus a big chunk

15
00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:15,680
of that performance is coming from the graphics card improvements in that time

16
00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:21,439
but that doesn't mean that both sides aren't contributing here the brains of

17
00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:23,600
our unit is an Intel core i7 10875h

18
00:01:21,439 --> 00:01:29,520
now as far as we can tell it's pretty much just a refined 9th gen chip with

19
00:01:26,320 --> 00:01:32,400
slightly higher clocks but guys a laptop

20
00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:37,360
with 8 CPU cores that can boost up to 2 of them to 5.1 gigahertz is nothing to

21
00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:40,720
sneeze at it's now faster than anything you could have bought for your

22
00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:45,759
mainstream desktop three years ago let alone something you could have got in a

23
00:01:42,320 --> 00:01:47,280
laptop the improvement over last gen is

24
00:01:45,759 --> 00:01:51,280
pretty incremental though so i can see why Intel compared to a laptop from

25
00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:55,040
three years ago in their slides our new i7 seems to have marginally better

26
00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:59,759
single threaded performance than our 9th gen i9 and actually ends up losing

27
00:01:57,520 --> 00:02:03,280
slightly in multi-threaded applications if we're going to see big improvements

28
00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:07,040
in CPU performance over last gen it looks like it's up to the laptop

29
00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:11,520
manufacturers to throw some seriously thick thermal and power delivery

30
00:02:09,039 --> 00:02:15,200
solutions at the 10th gen designs there are two main areas that the new temp gen

31
00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:21,040
cpus might help with gaming performance though the first is thermal velocity

32
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:22,400
boost or tvb originally introduced in

33
00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:27,599
coffee lake h tvb has existed recently in desktop

34
00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:32,720
chips but it was actually disabled by default and it's probably best known for

35
00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:36,959
the multi-core enhancement fiasco a year ago when ASUS motherboards that enabled

36
00:02:34,640 --> 00:02:40,560
it by default performed much better than their

37
00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:44,879
real default counterparts well now this feature is available on almost every

38
00:02:42,640 --> 00:02:50,560
10th gen mobile chip and is probably what helped our i7 beat the old i9 in

39
00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:55,360
single threaded tasks the second area of the 10th gen processor will help improve

40
00:02:52,400 --> 00:03:00,400
gaming performance in is by including 16 pci express lanes for the graphics card

41
00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:05,440
this is actually the first time ever that laptop gpus are going to be getting

42
00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:08,480
a full 16x interface to play with instead of the eight lanes that they're

43
00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:11,840
accustomed to how much of a difference will that make in the real world

44
00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:16,480
probably not a whole lot outside of some specific professional workloads but it

45
00:03:14,239 --> 00:03:23,360
is nice to see nonetheless now let's talk super the 2070 super in the ers 15g

46
00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:27,120
gets 256 more cuda cores than its non-super cousin and as for the clock

47
00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:30,879
speed well as usual that's going to depend largely

48
00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:35,920
on the laptop manufacturer since on mobile the amount of power and cooling

49
00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:40,400
available actually makes a much bigger difference to how fast the GPU will go

50
00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:45,200
than NVIDIA's spec sheet does maybe the most interesting feature of the super

51
00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:50,080
mobile gpus is the inclusion of dynamic boost which balances the load between

52
00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:56,080
the CPU and GPU based on the task so here's how the concept works let's say

53
00:03:52,319 --> 00:03:58,560
some laptop x has a 140 watts of cooling

54
00:03:56,080 --> 00:04:01,760
available with a CPU that can drop to 70 watts and a GPU that could draw up to

55
00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:08,799
100 clearly 170 watts is greater than 140

56
00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:14,080
but for most situations that doesn't really matter because there are very few

57
00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:19,199
workloads where a CPU and a GPU would both be fully utilized at exactly the

58
00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:23,759
same time so say in a visually demanding game like shadow of the tomb raider the

59
00:04:21,280 --> 00:04:28,639
GPU is going to get its full 100 watts of power while the CPU jogs along at 40

60
00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:31,360
watts or so and everyone stays nice and cool while you get the most FPS out of

61
00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:36,240
your game then you go and boot up cs go

62
00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:40,080
you're a pro and you need at least 400 FPS to hit your leap flick shots well

63
00:04:38,479 --> 00:04:44,000
your CPU is going to pin it at 5 gigahertz while your GPU takes a nap in

64
00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:47,600
the shade it's up to manufacturers though to make sure that there's enough

65
00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:52,639
power available to take advantage of this so Gigabyte has enabled this by

66
00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:57,040
including a 230 watt power adapter to drive the CPU and GPU at over 170 watts

67
00:04:56,000 --> 00:05:04,160
combined these power management improvements by the way will work with both Intel and

68
00:05:01,280 --> 00:05:09,440
AMD cpus which is excellent in theory now let's take a look at the

69
00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:11,840
real world in practice our rtx 2070

70
00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:16,479
super was able to net us about a 10 to 15 performance improvement in games

71
00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:20,320
compared to a similar class non-super laptop

72
00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:25,600
nice of course in most situations a desktop rtx 2070 super will beat it in

73
00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:32,000
battle but surprisingly in rainbow six siege the aorus 15g actually pulled off

74
00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:34,400
a w against our i9 9900k equipped

75
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:39,680
desktop now i'm certain that if we took the time to overclock the 9900k or even

76
00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:43,759
just enable multi-core enhancement it should win but it does go to show you

77
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:48,320
just how much performance is being strangled out of these mobile chips

78
00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:52,320
these days impressively the rs15g was able to put up these numbers without us

79
00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:57,120
having to apply a turbo profile or anything like that Gigabyte has employed

80
00:05:54,880 --> 00:06:00,560
microsoft's azure ai to automatically switch between power profiles that

81
00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:04,639
optimize for power and cooling in a heavy task quiet during lighter loads

82
00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:10,720
and then extended battery while on the go another feature of this super GPU

83
00:06:07,919 --> 00:06:15,600
update is advanced optimus og optimus was designed to switch

84
00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:20,560
between a powerful NVIDIA GPU for gaming and an efficient on-board GPU for

85
00:06:17,840 --> 00:06:25,199
lighter tasks but it had some drawbacks neither g-sync nor high refresh rate

86
00:06:23,199 --> 00:06:30,240
displays could use it well advanced optimus apparently fixes

87
00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:34,560
those issues and while the ars15g here isn't equipped with g-sync so we

88
00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:40,240
couldn't test that it was able to get 7 hours on battery while its display was

89
00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:42,479
refreshing itself 240 times per second

90
00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:46,960
quite impressive although some of this is probably due to Gigabyte including a

91
00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:50,160
massive 94 watt hour battery Gigabyte claims it's possible to get over 8 hours

92
00:06:48,639 --> 00:06:56,080
of battery life and if you were to turn down the refresh rate that actually seems very attainable now let's take a

93
00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:59,919
closer look at the star of today's show the styling of the rs15g strongly

94
00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:04,080
reminds me of the civic type bar with its spoiler-like accents and heaps of

95
00:07:01,919 --> 00:07:09,280
venting dedicated to airflow for a gaming laptop it's still a little well

96
00:07:07,039 --> 00:07:13,680
gamery but if it's too much for you the aero lineup will greet you with open

97
00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:19,120
arms it sports very solid i o with three type a's Thunderbolt gigabit Ethernet

98
00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:20,800
and a full-sized uhs-2 sd reader and

99
00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:25,199
Gigabyte seems especially proud of the fact that you can connect three 4k

100
00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:30,479
displays via the full-size HDMI mini displayport and Thunderbolt port i mean

101
00:07:27,599 --> 00:07:34,080
given there's a 240hz panel with pantone calibration already attached to it most

102
00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:39,440
people probably won't bother buying something separate unless they're trying to get some work done in between gaming

103
00:07:37,039 --> 00:07:43,520
sessions but hey it's there the most interesting part of the rs15g has got to

104
00:07:41,759 --> 00:07:48,880
be its fully mechanical keyboard though with slim clicky omron switches

105
00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:52,880
now if i'm being honest this keyboard broke my brain a little bit when i first

106
00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:58,000
started using it because you do have to use it kind of more like

107
00:07:55,440 --> 00:08:01,599
a real desktop keyboard this does mean that you'll be giving up some of the fun

108
00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:05,360
tricks of more traditionally cramped laptop keyboards where the keycaps are

109
00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:10,560
right next to each other like quickly swiping across adjacent keys

110
00:08:07,759 --> 00:08:14,960
but the extra travel and the clickiness did lead to a definite increase in

111
00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:18,400
typing accuracy once i got used to it in many ways you could see it as the

112
00:08:16,319 --> 00:08:23,440
complete opposite of apple's butterfly switches apples are bursty and quick

113
00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:28,879
perfect for sending ims whereas these are a much more deliberate feel like i'm

114
00:08:26,479 --> 00:08:32,560
sitting down to start a thesis now given they're made by omron and

115
00:08:30,479 --> 00:08:36,240
rated for 15 million presses they should hopefully also be the opposite of apples

116
00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:40,959
for reliability too zing as for the pricing NVIDIA

117
00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:46,959
surprisingly didn't adjust their super lineup upward so the rtx 2070 model of

118
00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:52,720
the rs15g comes in at 2 000 while the 2070 super version is 2200 so it gets a

119
00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:57,920
better GPU and an upgrade to Windows 10 pro what this basically means is that

120
00:08:55,200 --> 00:09:03,440
the rtx 2070 super is occupying roughly the same price as the old rtx 2070 the

121
00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:09,440
2070 is actually about the price of an old 2060 and the new 2060 which is

122
00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:14,000
faster than the old 2060 but lack super branding for some reason

123
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:19,120
is looking quite compelling at a price similar to the old 1660 ti basically if

124
00:09:17,519 --> 00:09:23,839
you're looking for a new gaming laptop you're going to be getting a bit more bang for your buck than you would have a

125
00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:28,720
couple months ago which is awesome and what else is awesome Gigabyte thank you

126
00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:33,440
for sponsoring this video and especially managing to get a laptop in our hands at

127
00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:36,880
least close to the NVIDIA super mobile launch so thank you guys for that and

128
00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:41,839
you can check them out at the link in the video description if you're looking for another video to

129
00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:45,440
watch maybe check out our original

130
00:09:42,959 --> 00:09:50,320
super coverage there you go how much better are super gpus now

131
00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:50,320
you'll know for sure
