00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:08,160
hello guys CPUs are hot and use too much power

2
00:00:04,580 --> 00:00:12,240
but who is right in this sephorus G14 we

3
00:00:08,160 --> 00:00:16,020
have AMD ryzen 9 6900 HS nice and over

4
00:00:12,240 --> 00:00:18,180
here at Intel I9 12900 HK we already saw

5
00:00:16,020 --> 00:00:24,180
the Intel's 12th gen was a massive step forward but AMD claims they have a 2.62

6
00:00:21,480 --> 00:00:29,160
times jump in performance per watt so can ryzen 6000 reclaim the mobile CPU

7
00:00:27,060 --> 00:00:34,380
Throne we'll give you the numbers after the segue to our sponsor Corsair

8
00:00:31,019 --> 00:00:36,480
Corsair's new IQ 5000 T case offers a

9
00:00:34,380 --> 00:00:41,219
unique design 208 individually addressable RGB LEDs and tons of Builder

10
00:00:39,300 --> 00:00:43,520
friendly features learn more at the link below

11
00:00:47,059 --> 00:00:50,120
all right

12
00:00:50,539 --> 00:00:57,180
AMD's ryzen 9 6900 HS is an 8 core 16

13
00:00:54,600 --> 00:01:01,980
thread CPU that according to AMD has been optimized from the ground up for

14
00:00:59,579 --> 00:01:07,260
exceptional performance per watt unlike the upcoming desktop CPUs that will be

15
00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:09,960
using Zen 4 ryzen 6000 mobile uses Zen 3

16
00:01:07,260 --> 00:01:14,340
plus Rembrandt architecture these chips are manufactured using tsmc's six

17
00:01:12,060 --> 00:01:19,439
nanometer process and earned them five slides of just how darn efficient they

18
00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:23,520
are but how do AMD's claims transfer to the real world well the first thing I

19
00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:30,479
did with these two laptops is run cinebench R23 and the results blew me

20
00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:33,840
away the AMD ryzen 9 6900 HS came

21
00:01:30,479 --> 00:01:36,240
shockingly close to the I9 12900 HK and

22
00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:42,180
I say shocking because AMD's chip has a TDP of 45 Watts

23
00:01:38,820 --> 00:01:44,040
and it tells us 110. AMD has been making

24
00:01:42,180 --> 00:01:48,840
a huge deal about the performance per watt of these chips and then this might

25
00:01:45,780 --> 00:01:50,640
be um no no never mind reviewing the

26
00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:55,320
hardware info logs show that the Intel chip briefly Drew 110 watts and then

27
00:01:53,220 --> 00:02:01,439
quickly settled around 80. whereas the AMD chip boosted to 80 watts and then

28
00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:03,000
settled around 75 meaning Intel might be

29
00:02:01,439 --> 00:02:07,920
onto something with their mixture of performance and efficiency cores in

30
00:02:05,219 --> 00:02:12,540
laptops the TD specs you see are largely meaningless the CPU will use however

31
00:02:10,500 --> 00:02:17,040
much power is available until either the cooler or the vrms can't take it anymore

32
00:02:14,640 --> 00:02:21,959
and good thing techtubers exist because there's basically no way to know what a

33
00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:25,379
laptop CPU will do until someone goes out and tests it since in laptops

34
00:02:23,940 --> 00:02:30,000
whoever can get the best performance while using the smallest amount of power

35
00:02:27,180 --> 00:02:34,800
wins I devise a little test using the ASUS Armory crate on AMD and throttle

36
00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:39,780
stop on Intel I was able to equalize the tdps of the CPUs then I ran the blender

37
00:02:37,379 --> 00:02:44,040
BMW test to see how while they performed this way we can start at 70 watts and

38
00:02:42,239 --> 00:02:48,840
end at 20 to see which CPU will work best over the largest number of laptops

39
00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:53,760
oh the gate Intel took the lead as expected with wins at 60 and 70 Watts

40
00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:58,319
but when we got to 50 Watts things started to change here AMD took their

41
00:02:56,340 --> 00:03:04,379
first win and after that it was just a bloodbath the craziest bit is that

42
00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:06,480
between 30 and 25 watts Intel's time

43
00:03:04,379 --> 00:03:11,280
increased by a whole minute that's longer than it takes to order a water

44
00:03:08,340 --> 00:03:16,200
bottle at lttstore.com I would have liked to go further but a 20 watts AMD

45
00:03:13,920 --> 00:03:19,860
started disregarding the Armory crate limits and gave the CPU a little bit

46
00:03:17,879 --> 00:03:24,180
more juice but like at this point we can pretty safely guess Intel is not making

47
00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:29,640
a comeback I do want to be careful here because it is very possible that Intel

48
00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:32,459
hasn't tuned the I9 12900 HK to use

49
00:03:29,640 --> 00:03:37,500
under about 50 watts of power in the future the lower power chips from them

50
00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:41,280
might be better in this range but looking at their lineup I'm pretty

51
00:03:39,540 --> 00:03:47,760
confident in my findings 45 Watts Intel will have their P series

52
00:03:43,980 --> 00:03:50,760
CPUs with six P cores and eight e-cores

53
00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:53,040
with a turbo Power of 64 Watts but once

54
00:03:50,760 --> 00:04:00,920
you get to the U Series where the TDP dips below 45 Watts the number of cores

55
00:03:56,340 --> 00:04:04,620
drops dramatically I 15 watts Intel's i7

56
00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:07,140
1265u only gets two performance cores

57
00:04:04,620 --> 00:04:11,879
and I'm very suspicious that they'll be heavily leaning on the 55 watt Turbo

58
00:04:09,540 --> 00:04:17,280
Power to extract any performance from these CPUs meanwhile over a team red it

59
00:04:15,060 --> 00:04:22,079
seems like AMD can just take their 8 core 6900hs and limit the power to

60
00:04:19,859 --> 00:04:25,919
whatever TDP is needed and the performance just scales linearly what

61
00:04:24,660 --> 00:04:29,940
all this means is that the choice between AMD and intellicode come down to

62
00:04:28,259 --> 00:04:34,500
the TDP of the laptop that you're looking for Intel has the lead and

63
00:04:32,100 --> 00:04:39,720
outright performance so if you need a beast of a gaming laptop with a TDP of

64
00:04:37,020 --> 00:04:45,120
over 45 Watts I lean towards team blue but if you want decent performance and a

65
00:04:42,660 --> 00:04:51,000
smaller machine I'd deal with AMD below 45 Watts the bit that uh sucks for Intel

66
00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:56,280
is that I don't know many people looking for desktop Replacements but I know

67
00:04:53,460 --> 00:05:01,560
loads of people that are looking for a reasonably well performing laptop that's

68
00:04:58,139 --> 00:05:03,360
you know light and has long battery oh

69
00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:11,100
and speaking of which the battery life on the 6900 HS is excellent our last gen

70
00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:13,560
zephyrus G14 with a 5900 HS got us 5

71
00:05:11,100 --> 00:05:20,340
hours and 42 minutes away from the wall while the new 6900 HS lasted a massive

72
00:05:17,460 --> 00:05:25,680
11 hours and 11 minutes both have 76 watt hour batteries and 2K

73
00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:30,000
screens so my only explanation is that AMD weren't lying with that slide deck

74
00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:34,800
get subscribed because we'll dig more into this in our full review of the ASUS

75
00:05:32,100 --> 00:05:38,460
zephyrus G14 next week I've only had what

76
00:05:35,820 --> 00:05:43,020
26 hours with this thing and that is not enough time to upload a video claiming

77
00:05:40,199 --> 00:05:47,460
is the best Windows laptop in existence which it very well may be what is crazy

78
00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:53,340
though is that we haven't even talked about what is potentially the biggest

79
00:05:49,259 --> 00:05:55,380
upgrade in ryzen 6000 rdna2 Graphics aka

80
00:05:53,340 --> 00:06:00,840
the same Graphics architecture in the PS5 and Xbox series X don't expect to be

81
00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:06,720
cranking the details in modern games but a 1080p you can play basically

82
00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:09,660
everything like we managed 85 FPS in

83
00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:15,539
Forza Horizon 5 on low details the iris XD graphics and the I9 12900 HK only

84
00:06:13,259 --> 00:06:19,919
managed 46. damn

85
00:06:17,100 --> 00:06:23,220
this difference is so massive that for thinning lights I don't even know if I

86
00:06:21,479 --> 00:06:27,539
can recommend an Intel System since you'll have such a better gaming

87
00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:30,840
experience than AMD honestly I just can't wait to see what kind of cool

88
00:06:29,220 --> 00:06:34,860
gaming devices will come out in the next couple of years that take advantage of

89
00:06:32,460 --> 00:06:40,020
our dna2 they've already blown me away with a steam deck and hopefully that's

90
00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:41,699
only the tip of the iceberg so yeah AMD

91
00:06:40,020 --> 00:06:45,780
wasn't able to take back the performance Crown from Intel with Rembrandt but

92
00:06:44,039 --> 00:06:51,479
they've managed to create a much more well-rounded CPU that holds up across

93
00:06:48,479 --> 00:06:54,300
the TDP range and features the best igpu

94
00:06:51,479 --> 00:06:57,539
by a mile I can't wait to see what laptops come out using these and I also

95
00:06:56,220 --> 00:07:01,259
can't wait to tell you about our sponsor Ting thanks to Ting mobile for
