Recently, in the hardware market, a so-called ‘gamtbook’ wind is blowing that combines laptop and gaming. In terms of performance, it has been upgraded compared to the past to the extent that it is now looking beyond the desktop, and it is because they are releasing convenient and pleasant gaming-related functions one by one for gamers.
It can be said that performance is the factor that has had the most influence on these gambling books. Of course, additional gaming functions can also be an important axis for gamers, but it is difficult to use a laptop comfortably if performance is not fundamentally supported. Even if raw meat has innovative gaming features, it is difficult to enjoy the game if it does not meet the recommended specifications of many games showing high hardware specifications.
In addition, CPU and GPU (graphics card) are representative parts that have a big influence on PC specifications. In the case of these two parts, the difference in performance and speed is evident, depending on which part is included so that it cannot be ignored. Also, these parts are being developed day by day through fierce technology competition from hardware manufacturers every year. As a side note, as can be seen from Intel’s Moore’s Law, it can be said that the era of rapid development of the hardware industry has come more than doubling in just two years. not now but..
As hardware advances, gaming laptops have also evolved. Up to the latest performance laptop dedicated mobile processor and graphics card, and various gaming functions built into the main body. Let’s take a closer look at the relatively recent 12th generation Intel CPU, i7-12700H and RTX 3070 Ti, and the MSI GE76 Raider 12UGS gaming laptop with DDR5 RAM.
MSI GE76 Raider 12UGS
CPU : Intel 12th generation i7-12700H
Graphics : NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Ti
Screen size : 17.3 inches
Display : FHD/IPS/360Hz
Product size : 397 x 284 x 25.9 (mm)
Product weight : 2.9 kg
VRAM : 8GB
Memory : DDR5-4800MHz 32GB (Maximum capacity: 64GB)
Storage : 512GB M.2 SSD (NVMe PCIe Gen4) x2
Network : Killer Gb LAN (up to 2.5G) / Intel Killer AX Wi-Fi 6E + Bluetooth 5.2
Others : FHD Webcam / SD Card Terminal / Dynaudio Duo Wave Woofer / Per-Key RGB Keyboard / 99.9WHr Battery / Cooler Boost 5
12th generation Intel i7-12700H mobile processor that is divided into a performance core and an efficiency core to handle any task, RTX 3070 Ti graphics card with ray tracing, and maximizing the performance of these two parts It is equipped with Dynamic Boost 2.0 function. This is a function that completely unlocks the power limit of the CPU and GPU to realize high performance with up to 195W of power. This function can be easily set up in the MSI Center, so let’s check it out.
In addition, DDR5 RAM is applied and 4800MHz memory showing the highest clock among current standards is loaded. In addition, there is a Thunderbolt 4 port, which is important for data transfer and working speed, a PCIe Gen4 SSD, and SD Express, which transfers data from an SD card at a faster speed. Although it is a gamtbook, it shows excellent performance even for work.
The exterior is in the form of a luxurious metal, and you may be reluctant to see it with your own two eyes because it is an unattractive silver haircut color from the image alone. In addition, RGB LEDs are included throughout the laptop, but since it is a light LED that is not burdensome, even gamers who do not like RGB will not have any problems.
FHD may be disappointing, but seeing the high refresh rate of 360Hz makes a difference. It is advantageous because it shows smooth screen transitions without interruption even in FPS games or racing games that show smooth transitions and, above all, fast-paced games, and can respond immediately. It is also recommended for those who enjoy high-definition video content such as movies, dramas, and animations.
In addition, it seems that attention was paid to the acoustics. The Dynaudio duo wave woofer, created in collaboration with Dynaudio, a world-class audio brand adopted for laptops, uses passive radiator technology to clearly hear both bass and treble, enhancing immersion. Hi-less audio standard DAC is included, so richer sound quality is a bonus. Nahimic Music, a 3D sound technology, is also included, so playing FPS games is no problem.
With a 17.3-inch screen and an IPS panel with FHD quality, viewing pleasure is also great. In addition to various color modes for users, up to 3 outputs can be output by connecting an external display. The wide viewing angle of 178 degrees vertically and horizontally and the screen brightness of up to 300 nits are also advantages.
12th generation Intel CPU, Elder Lake that is also active in laptops
Clearly, Intel’s 12th Gen Core Elderlake H-series CPUs were performing well enough in laptops. Based on the Intel 7 process, unlike the previous generation, it was divided into two cores for efficiency. This is the first hybrid architecture Intel introduced. Instead of working in one place like a conventional CPU, it shows high performance with 6 ‘high-performance cores (P-core)’ and 8 ‘efficiency cores (E-core)’ , a total of 14 cores, and takes care of the battery’s power efficiency. I did.
For example, if performing high-performance tasks or games, 6 high-performance cores, P-cores, operate, and if performing tasks that consistently require performance, 8 efficiency cores and E-cores will operate. If the CPU core works like this, performance can be used as per its performance and efficient work can be performed together, so it can show good performance in power efficiency and heat generation.
In fact, the mobile processor that goes into the laptop did not exert much power compared to the processor that goes into the desktop before, but the currently used Intel 12th generation mobile processor, the H-series, was different. From power efficiency, which shows high efficiency compared to performance, to high performance that was not previously available, it feels like it showed all the advantages that a laptop can show. Being able to respond to DDR5 memory used in laptops also plays a role.
The latest Intel 12th generation CPU is great for gaming as well as work environments
As shown in the game test above, it was possible to play any game comfortably with the stable heat management and usage of the CPU and GPU. In particular, I was able to check the stable and good appearance in MMORPGs and Lost Arc that use a lot of CPU.
In addition, all photos and videos added to the article were processed through a laptop, and as a result, it was possible to proceed at high speed without any major flaws throughout the work. The CPU-intensive encoding speed within video work also played a big role in reducing work time, and the GPU-accelerated Nvidia RTX 3070 Ti graphics card helped a lot with rendering.
If you are looking for a high-performance laptop that is not lacking in both games and work, I think it is worth considering a gaming laptop equipped with the latest Intel 12th generation CPU mobile processor that shows good performance in laptops.
