Equipped with 12 generation Core i9- 12900H hard core attack! In-depth evaluation of ROG gun god 6 game book

With the release of 12 generation Intel Core processor products, we finally ushered in a comprehensive disclosure of the performance of the new generation Core processor. 12 generation Core processor, as a brand-new Alder Lake-P H45 series, not only greatly improved its performance, but also significantly changed its memory and hard disk support, and also significantly improved its endurance. This generation of hard-core new products born for games, we have caught up!

ROG Gun God 6, which was recently listed and reserved, is a classic high-performance game book benchmark product. Equipped with12nd generation Intel Core i9- 12900H processor, 150W RTX 3070Ti graphics card. Support ROG's new dual display and three-mode technology, equipped with 15.6 inch 2.5K resolution and 240Hz. In this paper, we will talk about the performance improvement brought by this Gun God 6, especially the 12 generation core, which will definitely induce your adrenaline excitement.

Design: detail optimization, belief blessing

The brand-new Gun God 6 is relatively low-key in appearance, especially in the lower left corner of the A-plane. Instead of following the design of the light matrix of faith, a diagonal decorative strip is designed to form an asymmetric design, and the eye-catching LOGO is faintly visible in the decorative strip. Of course, the RGB logo must be indispensable, which is a symbol of ROG player status. The A-side is made of metal, and the delicate matte texture is great in both vision and feel, and the anti-fingerprint nano-coating is added, which is not easy to contaminate fingerprints and easy to take care of. The appearance specification of Gun God 6 is 450×350mm×25mm, and the measured weight of the whole machine is about 2.4kg. For boys, commuting is also affordable.

The tail of the fuselage is delayed, and there is a winger light bar at the bottom of the screen, which enhances the game atmosphere and is full of futuristic feeling. In addition, on one side of the tail, there is a replaceable belief badge, including armor gray, star silver and spirit of war black. Three different colors and styles can be combined at will. In synchronization with Shen Guang, Gunshen 6 becomes an exclusive personalized costume.

Another belief light belt is at the bottom of the fuselage, and a chassis light can display more dazzling RGB lighting effects.

Screen: 240Hz high brush, professional 2K esports screen.

Gun God 6 is equipped with 15.6 inch IPS screen, with resolution of 2560× 1440, professional esports refresh rate of 240 240Hz and 3ms response time. Support adaptive synchronous anti-tear technology, which will not cause picture jam and tear in fast running or fighting, and fully present the picture quality. In addition, it has a wide color gamut of 100% DCI-P3 and a brightness of 500 nits, and supports Dolby vision. It has passed Pantone color certification, which is especially suitable for creative designers and can obtain excellent colors.

In terms of screen quality, we use Spyder5 Elite to test the screen. Screen coverage 100% sRGB, 89% AdobeRGB, 98% P3 and 87% NTSC, which can be said to have reached the standard of professional display.

In terms of tone response, if the brightness coefficient curve of the display is close to the standard curve (at luminosity 2.2), it shows that the display can correctly reset the screen brightness and contrast; The larger the deviation, the worse the display's ability to reset brightness and contrast. From the test results, the brightness coefficient curve of this monitor is close to the standard curve, and its performance has been good.

The value of color accuracy δE reflects the difference between the display and the standard value, so the smaller the value, the better. The higher the score, the more distorted the color. The test results are shown in the figure below. For the 48 colors tested, the average δ E value is 0.74, the minimum value is 0.32 and the maximum value is 2.62. Generally speaking, a display with a △E value less than 2 can reach the professional level. Among the 48 colors tested, the δ E values of most colors are below 1, and the overall performance is excellent.

Keyboard: full-size single-key RGB lighting effect

Let's look at the surface of the keyboard. The C surface of ROG Gun God 6 is made of skin-like material, which makes it feel delicate and comfortable. The upper right area is translucent, which vaguely exposes the circuit board inside the fuselage, bringing a visual sense of science and technology. Full-size single-key RGB support, and support AURA AYNC synchronization, 1.8mm long keystroke, which brings comfortable typing experience. It is equipped with Overstroke flash technology, which brings fast response and keeps the key mute.

There is also a set of shortcut function keys in the upper left area of the keyboard, including volume key, microphone switch key, performance mode switch key (silent mode, performance mode and enhanced mode) and quick start of Armoury Crate intelligent control center, which is much more convenient than using Fn combination.

The touchpad has a larger area and a hidden numeric keypad is added. When you need to input numbers, just press the number switch in the upper right corner and activate the number keys, and you can input numbers quickly and intently.

On one side of the right panel is KeyStone Keystone II, which is also an exclusive gadget for ROG players. After simple setting, you can not only create your own personalized lighting effect, but also use it to quickly start games, programs and use scene mode settings.

In addition, KeyStone also has a shadow drive setting, which automatically hides when it is pulled out and unlocks when it is inserted. As a private space for private files, Keystone can help players store files safely.

Interface: fully upgraded to meet the mainstream peripheral connection.

Let's look at the interface. Almost all games will be equipped with a rich full-size interface on the back of the fuselage. There are air outlets on the left and right sides at the rear of the fuselage of the spear god 6. From left to right, the interfaces are Thunderbolt 4, USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C (supporting 100W charging, DP 1.4), HDMI 2. 1, 2.5G wired network and power interface.

There is an air outlet near the rear on the left side of the fuselage, and the interface has two USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A, 1 3.5mm audio composite interfaces.

There is no interface on the right side except an air outlet, but a position is reserved for KeyStone. Generally speaking, there are not many interfaces, but it is enough to easily connect the mainstream external devices. It can also be seen that the spear god 6 leaves more heat dissipation space.

The D face of Gun God 6 is also full of beliefs, including the special logo of ROG and a series of numbers that are not easy to find. If you unlock the digital code, you can find the belief egg. Whether you are a real ROG player or not depends on yourself.

ROG armory Ultron intelligent control center

Armory crate is an important platform for managing and viewing the current status of equipment at any time. Players can not only quickly set the performance mode according to the current application, but also instantly check the running status of core hardware including CPU, GPU, memory, storage and so on. In manual mode, players can also adjust the power consumption or frequency of CPU and GPU to meet the application requirements with appropriate performance, while reducing noise or heat dissipation. In addition, in the system settings panel, you can also quickly control the graphics card mode, touchpad, switch sound, panel power saving and so on. , let your gun god 6 truly integrate with you.

The armory can not only manage the equipment better, but also play a stronger role. At the same time, it also undertakes many personalized settings, such as Aura Sync lighting effect synchronization, Keystone management in the "Equipment" option, macro definition and so on.

Of course, as a belief-filled and ubiquitous RGB lighting effect, ARMOURY CRAT provides a variety of basic lighting effects, or you can create your own effects and save all the settings in Keystone. The next time you turn on the computer, you just need to plug in Keystone to start it immediately, and you don't have to worry about others changing the configuration.

The above is the appearance, screen and interface of the brand-new Gun God 6, and the introduction of CRAT Ultron Center in the armory. Compared with the previous work, it has both classic inheritance and detail optimization, especially the "double display and three modes" output mode, which can not only give play to performance advantages, but also extend battery life in specific usage scenarios. On the whole, ROG's faith is still exciting. But what is really exciting is the improvement of performance, which is the next part of our hardware evaluation.

Hardware performance evaluation: 12 generation core is fully released.

The brand-new ROG Gun God 6 game book we got is equipped with12nd generation Core H45 processor based on Intel Alder Lake architecture, NVIDIA RTX 3070Ti 8GB GDDR6, 32GB DDR5 4800MHz memory, high performance 1TB SSD and PCIe 4.0 interface.

Graphics card related tests include stand-alone mode and mixed mode. All items were tested for 2~3 times, and the best results were obtained for reference.

cpu

If compared with the previous generation, the biggest change of this generation of processors is the change of core architecture. It is no longer like the 8-core and 16-core we mentioned before, but has made a revolutionary innovation in architecture, that is, it has introduced "efficient core" and "performance core", which can also be referred to as P core, E core or large and small core for short. Simply understood, the role of energy efficiency core is to improve throughput efficiency and provide scalable multithreading performance, mainly for multi-task scenarios. The core of performance is to break through the limitations of low latency and single-threaded application performance, thus improving speed. You can also understand it as an energy efficiency core for studying and working, and a performance core for playing games.

Knowing this change, we can understand that the performance of this generation of Core processors will be greatly improved, and it will be the strongest processor in both content creation and game running. Specifically, 12 generation core i9- 12900H has 14 cores (including 6 large cores and 8 small cores) and 20 threads.

internal storage

12 generation Core i9- 12900H processor platform supports DDR5 memory for the first time, and also supports DDR4 3200, LPDDR4X-4266 and LPDDR5 5200. This Gunshen 6 game we evaluated is equipped with 2× 16GB DDR5 4800MHz memory, which can provide 1.5 times the bandwidth of DDR4 3200MHz. The memory test using AIDA64 shows that the reading speed is 65,829 MB/s, the writing speed is 65,897 MB/s, the copying speed is 62,489 MB/s, and the delay is 94.2ns, which is already at the flagship level and can fully meet the current multi-task performance requirements.

Hard disk storage

In terms of hard disk storage, this game is equipped with a PCIe 4.0 high-speed solid state drive with a storage capacity of 1TB. It is worth mentioning that there is a reserved M.2 interface hard disk in the fuselage, which can be upgraded and expanded by itself later.

Using CrystalDiskMark test, the sequential reading speed is 6526.58MB/s, and the writing speed is 5004.75MB/s, which is generally reflected in normal playback. If PCIe Gen 5.0 protocol can be supported, the performance will be further improved.

PCMark 10 test

Finally, let's take a look at PCMark 10, which can simulate various application scenarios of modern office, and finally give the score. The tested items include common basic functions, productivity, digital content creation and games. Each big project has several sub-items, and each sub-item has corresponding results. The final comprehensive score is 9703, which is outstanding in digital content creation and game testing.

dissipate heat

Gun God 6 is equipped with Glacier Cooling 2.0 system and an upgraded arc fan, which not only has 84 blades, but also improves the cooling efficiency of 13%. At the same time, the specially designed fan dust removal channel can effectively remove impurities and prevent blockage. The CPU uses a new generation of hot grizzly bear liquid metal for heat conduction, which has obvious and efficient heat conduction effect compared with traditional heat conduction silicone grease and can effectively ensure the performance of CPU.

In addition, this notebook is also designed with six heat pipes for heat conduction, and there are four air outlets on the back and left and right sides of the fuselage, which greatly improves the heat dissipation efficiency.

Single baking CPU

First, we use FPU of AIDA64 to bake under pressure at room temperature of 24℃, in enhanced mode, and run continuously for 20 minutes. The CPU temperature is 8 1, and the overall power consumption is about 1 13W, with an average of more than 90W.

Single baking GPU

After that, we baked RTX 3070Ti graphics card and ran Furmark v 1.29 for about 15 minutes, 1080P, and the power consumption remained at 150W, which was also quite powerful.

Double roasting

Both CPU and GPU are basically expecting full performance. Therefore, in the new generation of Gunshen 6 notebook, the design of "double display and three modes" will be very useful, enough for players to play various 3A game masterpieces. Then continue to double bake for about 15 minutes. The CPU power consumption can be stabilized at 55W, the GPU power consumption 125W, the one * * * power consumption reaches 180W, and the Gunshen 6 adapter power consumption reaches 280W. After connecting the power supply, the performance is fully released, which is easy to do.

keep patience

It is precisely because of the structural adjustment of the 12 generation Core processor that the battery life of the notebook has been optimized for a longer time. In addition, the Gunshen 6 notebook has a built-in 90Wh large-capacity battery, which can provide longer battery life in centralized display mode.

First, charge it to 100% full charge, set it to silent mode in Ultron Center, set the system to the best energy efficiency, the screen brightness is 50%, the keyboard backlight is turned off, keep the wireless network connection, run the modern office of PCMark 10, and last for nearly 6 hours, the remaining power is 10%.

Write it at the end

There is no doubt that 12 generation Intel Core i9- 12900H processor will become the standard of this year's high-end game books! The upgrade of its dual-core architecture not only meets the needs of current multi-task applications, but also gives sufficient power in performance, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone. In addition, the adjustment of the architecture has also brought about the overall performance improvement including high-frequency memory, high-performance SSD and Wi-Fi 6 wireless network. The new 12 generation Core is definitely a hardcore performance upgrade.

Of course, there is also the ROG Gun God 6 game book blessed by ROG belief, which is optimized in appearance details, including professional 2K esports display screen, rich interface, glacier cooling system, long battery life brought by up to 90W, and the newly created "double display and three modes" mode, which will still become one of the high-performance game books that are most concerned by players this year.
