Another Top Work of 3A Platform: Evaluation of Lenovo Savior R9000X 2022 Game Book

Compared with traditional games, many games have got rid of the bloated and bulky body, which is not only light and portable, but also of high value. Even in terms of endurance, it is no longer a chicken rib, and its performance is more competitive. The most intuitive feeling for players is that they don't have to worry too much about the hardware configuration itself, so they can focus more on the game skills and experience, making office and content creation more efficient.

Lenovo Savior Series, which is deeply loved by players, launched products equipped with AMD Ruilong 6000H mobile processor and Radium Dragon RX 6000 series graphics cards this year. The Savior R900X2022 we got this time is one of them. The processor adopts Ruilong 7 6800H, and the graphics card is equipped with RX6600S in AMD's newly-launched Radium Dragon RX 6000S product series this year, which is mainly aimed at light and thin game books. Then, let's take a quick look at the performance, games and portability that the 3A platform combination of Ruilong 7 6800H+RX 6600S graphics card can bring.

First, design.

The rescuer R9000X 2022 adopts a new and simple design language in appearance. Only the English characters of Mirror Legion are designed on the A side, and the edges of the fuselage are finely carved by CNC and anodized for three times. The whole machine is very textured, even in business scenes. 180 opening and closing mode, you can watch in various postures and share documents with colleagues. The whole machine is about 16.9mm thin and as light as 2.2 1kg, so it will not be a burden to carry.

What I like best is the keyboard of this notebook. Full-size keys have no effect on all keys, and the four arrow keys with special magnification are definitely the favorite of any player. The bond range of 1.3mm is not very large, but it feels great. The two-stage rebound is crisp and neat. After all, there are standard-sized keycaps that can be used freely. Two white backlights, less interference from the game RGB lighting effect, are enough in the dark. The integrated AG glass precision touchpad can avoid using the mouse in many scenes.

The independent power button also has a circle of light effect. When connected to the power supply or battery, it will show different colors and can be recognized at a glance. Integrated fingerprint identification, combined with Windows Hello, can unlock different functions. There are small holes in the two side panels, which play the role of makeup points and also bring ventilation and heat dissipation to the fuselage.

In terms of interface, there are two USB-Cs (supporting DP 1.4) on the left side of the fuselage, which can be used to connect 4K/ 120Hz video output. In addition, with the C 135 adapter of rescuer, 135W portable fast charging can be realized, and 100W PD charging is supported.

There is a 1 SD card reader and camera switch on the right, which can completely avoid personal privacy disclosure at the end of video chat. In addition, there are 1 3.5mm headphones connected to wired headphones, which can bring more immersive sound details during the game.

The back of the fuselage provides 1 standard HDMI 2. 1 interface, two USB 3.2 Gen 2 interfaces, and the iconic USB flat power interface of Lenovo notebook.

On the screen, this notebook adopts the ultra-narrow bezel of 16 inch and 10 to design the screen, with the screen ratio of 93.3%, the screen resolution of 2560× 1600, the refresh rate of 165Hz, the brightness of 500 nits and the screen resolution of10. There is also a 1080P camera at the top of the screen, which can be turned off by the electronic switch on the right side of the fuselage without revealing privacy.

The above is the design of Lenovo Savior R9000X 2022 game book. In terms of hardware configuration, the rescuer R9000X we evaluated is equipped with AMD Ruilong 7 6800H processor, Laser Dragon RX 6600S alone, 8GB onboard +8GB slot 16GB DDR5 4800MHz memory, which can be expanded to 40GB at most. The hard disk is 5 12GB PCIe 4.0 x 4 TLC SSD, in addition, there is WiFi 6E wireless network, pre-installed with Microsoft Windows 1 1 Chinese Home Edition system, and built-in Legion Area Control Center, which can be easily set to include mute, balance, beast and custom modes to meet different application requirements.

Second, the evaluation instructions

Before running the subproject, we have updated the system to the latest, Windows 1 1 version 2 1H2(2200.9 18), motherboard BIOS version number KFCN30WW, RX 6600S driver version 31.0./kl. The power supply mode of the system is high performance, and the performance control of the control center is beast mode, with independent display and direct connection turned on. Except for the battery life, other items are fully charged during the test and connected with the power adapter. The ambient temperature is between 24-26℃.

Third, the hardware performance test

No matter in the game book or in the light and thin field, AMD 3A platform has been climbing steadily, truly achieving the balance between performance, thinness, battery life and other aspects, bringing users a carefree experience. For more A meals, it didn't live up to expectations.

1. CPU

AMD Ruilong 7 6800H processor adopts Zen 3+ architecture with leading energy efficiency ratio, 8-core 16 threads, full-core design, maximum acceleration frequency of 4.7GHz, three-level cache 16MB, and default TDP of 45w. At the same time, the processor also has a built-in AMD Radium Dragon 680M chipset, which adopts RDNA 2 architecture, 12 Cu. 2.2GHz display frequency, the actual performance has surpassed entry-level discrete graphics cards such as MX550, and is almost the same as GTX1650 MAX-Q.

Cinema bench

CINEBENCH is a benchmark software for evaluating CPU performance. The performance of CPU and GPU is tested by its built-in 4D cinema special effects software engine. The results show that the achievements of Ruilong 7 6800H in the rescuer's R9000X 2022 game book are: R 15 single-core 243cb, multi-core 2247cb；; R20 test scores are 589cb for single core and 5334cb for multi-core; R23 single-core score 1506, multi-core score 13636.

7-zip compression and decompression benchmark

In the compression and decompression benchmark test, the overall score of the Ruilong 7 6800H processor is 65.6 GIPS.

X264 FHD benchmark

X246 codec is a common tool for video processing, and the speed of codec reflects the processing performance of PC. The test results show that it takes 40 seconds to encode 2500 frames, and the frame rate reaches 6 1 fps, which is smooth enough for video workers.

Blender reference starter

Blender Benchmark Launcher is a tool to test the rendering performance of CPU or GPU. The average number of samples per minute rendered in Monster, junkshop and classroom is 97, 58 and 45 respectively.

Webxprt4 test

WebXPRT is a test platform that focuses on application scenarios. Through six application scenarios, such as photo enhancement, artificial intelligence photo album arrangement, stock option pricing, OCR scanning, sales chart and online work, the performance of PC is scored. The final result shows that the comprehensive score on WebXPRT is 234, and the rescuer R9000X equipped with AMD Ruilong 7 6800H processor is equally efficient in many application fields.

2. Graphics card

In the field of graphics cards, AMD has always been superior in the integrated display of processors. In recent years, it has gradually increased its scale in the field of independent display. This year, it launched a new Radium Dragon RX6000S product line, which adopts the energy-saving RDNA 2 architecture and aims at the fast-growing thin and light game book and high-performance local market.

AMD Radium Dragon RX 6600S graphics card carried by rescuer R900X2022 is the mainstream model in the latest RX6000S series. Based on RDNA 2 architecture, 4GB GDDR6 memory, 1792 stream processor, supporting AMD Fidelity FX Super Resolution (FSR) optimization technology and AMD SmartShift technology, it can dynamically allocate system power. Whether playing games, editing videos, rendering 3D special effects, creating content or working efficiently, the processing performance of notebooks can be improved at any time, bringing players a powerful 1080P gaming experience.

How is the performance? This must be a race. In the 3DMark theory test, we also added another common GeForce RTX 3050 Ti laptop GPU for comparison. It can be seen that although they are different in architecture, process technology, stream processor and core frequency, there is not much difference. In terms of GPU power consumption, RTX 3050 Ti reaches 95W, which is higher than RX6600S' 80W.

3DMark test

Before testing the 3DMark project, both notebooks have been upgraded to the latest drivers, and the Beast mode has been turned on, which directly shows that 100% is fully charged and connected to the power supply for testing. It can be seen that in the test project of Time Spy, the RX6600S graphics card scored 7822, which was nearly 29% higher than the RTX 3050 Ti's 6060, and the comprehensive score was 8 1 10. The performance of the rescuer R900X2022 also surpassed that of the Core i7- 12700H+RTX 3050 Ti platform.

In the fire test, the score of RX 6600S graphics card is 2284 1, the score of RTX 3050 Ti graphics card is 14672, and RX 6600S is 56% higher.

The figure below shows the comparison of 3DMark test between the two platforms, taking the comprehensive scores in 3DMark as data. Obviously, RX 6600S is clearly ahead of RTX 3050 Ti.

play games

Let's continue to look at the embodiment in the game. In the game Tomb Raider: Shadow, turn off DLSS, turn off the shadow quality of ray tracing, run the built-in performance test of the game, and finally get 63FPS, which can run smoothly. Under the same setting, the frame rate of RTX 3050 Ti graphics card in the test of this game is 54FPS.

In the game test of Singularity: Ashes, the point light source quality and illumination quality are turned off by default. The test results show that it can reach above 90- 123FPS under normal circumstances.

League of Legends has little demand for notebook hardware, and even AMD Radium Dragon 680M with integrated display of Ruilong 7 6800H processor can run easily. Therefore, it is more important for radium dragon RX 6600S, with medium image quality, which can meet the demand.

In walking and non-combat scenes, the frame rate can exceed 200FPS in most cases, and the combat scene is more complicated. The frame rate can be stabilized at 160+FPS, and every wonderful moment will not be missed.

Four, memory and hard disk

This Savior R9000X game book is also equipped with DDR5 4800 dual-channel high-frequency memory, which can be expanded to 40GB at most. The memory test with AIDA64 shows that the reading speed is 50607 MB/s, the writing speed is 55057 MB/s, the copying speed is 48360 MB/s, and the delay is 88.7ns, so it can easily handle multiple tasks and avoid being stuck.

The hard disk is equipped with PCIe 4.0 x4 TLC SSD with a capacity of 5 12GB, which comes from Samsung brand. However, the capacity of 5 12GB is a little short for gamers or users who like to store videos. If there is a large capacity demand, it is recommended to buy a larger version of 1TB SSD or use an external mobile hard disk to solve it.

In terms of performance, using CrystalDiskMark test, the sequential reading speed reaches 6708MB/s, and the writing speed is 4852MB/s, even for several GB files, it can achieve seconds. This will make it easier to copy games frequently, or for content creators to copy large video materials.

Verb (abbreviation of verb) PCMark 10 Efficiency Test

As for the efficiency of the whole machine, we use the extended mode of PCMark 10 to test. The test items include common basic functions, productivity, digital content creation and games, and each item gives more specific results. The comprehensive score is 8800, and the overall performance is excellent. Among them, the project score of the game is even better, reaching 15602, which is also in line with the positioning of the rescuer's game book.

Six, heat dissipation and power consumption

Through the above benchmark test, we can see that the combination of double A combinations is very powerful, especially the Radium Dragon RX 6600S graphics card, which has achieved strong performance at 80W power consumption, ahead of the RTX 3050 Ti with higher power consumption. And stronger performance is inseparable from excellent heat dissipation design. Let's take a look at the internal cooling system of the rescuer R9000X notebook.

Five heat pipes, of which the main heat pipe adopts high-performance composite heat pipe with widened 3D grid, which has higher heat conduction efficiency. Double turbines and fans bring greater air volume, four air outlets and 260 copper alloy fins, forming a powerful frost blade Pro cooling system 4.0, including power supply, memory, SSD around CPU and GPU, all of which have heat conduction and cooling modules, which can be said to be comprehensive protection.

1.CPU single baking

The ambient temperature is 25°C, and the roaster runs for 28 minutes with the AID64FPU option. CPU core temperature100 C, core power consumption 83W+, power consumption is very stable at 80W, and the frequency is above 4GHz. This performance is very wonderful.

2.GPU single baking

The single baking of GPU was tested with doughnut FurMark software, with the resolution of 1920× 1080, running continuously for 23 minutes, GPU temperature of 67°C and TGP power consumption of 80W.

3.CPU+GPU double baking

In the double baking mode of CPU and GPU, it runs for 30 minutes, the CPU temperature is 89.9℃, and the core power consumption is 84+W; GPU temperature is 70℃, TGP power consumption is 62+W, and the whole machine realizes 146+W power consumption release. Obviously, under the pressure test of single drying and double drying, the power consumption release of double A combination is relatively stable. Compared with the combination of 12 generation Intel Core+NVIDIA RTX 30 series graphics cards, 3A platform can exchange lower power consumption for stronger performance, and RX 6600S has outstanding advantages.

Seven, battery life

A major feature of AMD 3A platform is the optimization of power consumption, which makes the original game book with weak endurance work on the move. Lenovo Savior R9000X notebook has built-in 99.99Wh large-capacity battery, which is the capacity limit of notebook battery at present.

We use PCMark 10 to simulate the office scene for testing. At the beginning of the test, the battery capacity was 100%. Unplug the external power supply, turn off the Bluetooth and keyboard backlight, adjust the screen brightness to 40%, and set the system power mode to the best energy efficiency. Last battery life 10 hour and 36 minutes. This kind of achievement is even better than many light books, and you can easily move the office with a game book.

VIII. Evaluation Summary

When the AMD platform was mentioned before, everyone's first impression was that it was cost-effective, but in addition to cost-effective, the performance of the AMD platform has also advanced by leaps and bounds in the past two years. Both the Ruilong 5000 and 6000 series mobile processors and the new generation RX6000 series graphics cards are impressive. AMD's optimization in power supply, AMD SmartShift technology unique to 3A platform and the blessing of FSR technology enable players to enjoy the experience of improving game quality and frame rate while obtaining higher performance.

The combination of AMD Ruilong 7 6800H processor and AMD Radium RX6600s on the rescuer R900X2022 we evaluated is a combination of two swords, which breaks the advantage of multi-scene application of Intel12nd generation Core+NVIDIA RTX 30 series combination, and even the 3A platform can achieve stronger performance with lower power consumption, so that the game book that dared not talk about battery life before has excellent battery life. AMD platform has the advantages of high cost performance and high energy efficiency, which is undoubtedly more prominent than "double high".

At present, the Lenovo Savior R9000X 2022 game equipped with Ruilong 7 6800H+RX 6600S has been sold on major e-commerce platforms, and the price is only 8K+, which is comparable to the blue-green combination of 10,000 yuan machines. It is one of the necessary equipment for gamers who pursue the ultimate game. If you want to start a high-performance game book in the near future, but also have requirements for thinness and mobility, you may wish to consider the masterpiece of this 3A platform.
