Verification of the 12th generation Core H series!The strongest gaming notebook is born with P/E core

　On January 4, 2022, Intel announced the "H" series, "P" series, and "U" series for notebook PCs of the 12th generation Core, the development code name "ALDER LAKE".Here, I have a chance to try the MSI gaming notebook "MSI GE76 RAIDER" equipped with the top model "Core i9-12900HK" of the "H" series, so I would like to try my ability immediately.

　With the 12th generation Core for laptops, the lineup is "Intel, 12th generation Core for notebooks with 40 % improved performance" at the time of announcement, and technical commentary on Kasahara's "Mobile version 12th generation CoreI would like you to confirm the performance beyond M1 MAX and Ryzen 9, but here are brief explanations of the features.

　The biggest point is that, like the top model of the 12th generation Core for desktops, it uses a "hybrid design" that combines "P core" that emphasizes performance and "E core", which emphasizes efficiency.In addition to improving the performance of the core itself, Pc -core is in charge of processing with low importance and background tasks, and the Pc core is in charge of processing the power, such as games, etc., improving efficiency and improving performance.ing.The high performance shown for the desktop gave the impression that "strong Intel is back".

　The "Core i9-12900HK" mounted on the MSI GE76 RAIDER has 6 P-core, eight E-cores and 14 cores and 20 thread specifications (E core can handle 2 threads in 1 cores.Because it is not).The maximum clock of the P core is 5GHz, and the E core is up to 3.8GHz.The base power PBT (Processor Base Power) is 45W, and the maximum power MTP (MAXIMUM TURBO Power) is a very intense power consumption for a CPU for notebook PCs.The corresponding memory is DDR4/LPDDR4 and DDR5/LPDDR5.

　The 12th generation Core's H series also features a design that can be said to be the perfect gaming notebook.PCI Express 4 for external GPUs.8 lane 0, PCI Express 4 for storage.0 is 4 lane x 2 in direct connection to the CPU, so high -end GPUs and high -speed storage are easier to demonstrate performance.

　The highlight of the MSI GE76 RAIDER I tried this time is also in the GPU.Equipped with the GeForce RTX 3080 Ti Laptop GPU, which is the highest ranking for NVIDIA's laptops announced on January 4, 2022.The CUDA core is 7,424, the GDDR6 is 16GB for GDDR6, the boost clock is 1,125 to 1,590MHz, and the card power is 80 to 150W.The GeForce RTX 3080LAPTOP GPU CUDA core, which was the highest ranked so far, was 6,144, which increased by more than 1,000 at a stretch.

　However, the boost clock here was 1,245 to 1,710MHz, which was slightly lower when looking only at the clock.As expected, it seems that it was difficult to maintain a high clock just because the CUDA core was increased intensely.

　The MSI GE76 RAIDER is a boost clock of 1,590MHz, the maximum value in the official specifications, and the card power is 175W, which is more than the official specification.That's why I am confident in the cooling performance.GeForce RTX 3080 Ti Laptop GPU is designed to maximize the performance.

　The Core i9-12900HK+GeForce RTX 3080 Ti Laptop GPU is a combination of the highest CPU and GPU at the time of writing manuscript, and it can be said that if you use MSI GE76 Raider, you can see how well the gaming notes can be installed. right.

　In addition, the specifications of the MSI GE76 RAIDER I tried this time are as follows.

　It is important to note that models with the same specifications are not planned in Japan at the time of writing the manuscript.The near-specs are Raider GE76 12U (GE76-12UHS-222JP).The same is true, including the MSI GE76 RAIDER, which has been used except for the WQHD refresh rate 240Hz and the storage is 1TB (NVME SSD).If you look at the test results and feel that you want a gaming note of the specifications, you may want to check this.The actual selling price is around 500,000 yen.

　Although you are worried about the performance, let's first check the appearance and interfaces.The display is 17.3 type full HD.The refresh rate is very high, up to 360Hz.It is seen as an IPS panel due to the size of the viewing angle.The top of the display also has a web camera and a microphone.

　The interface is USB 3 on the left side.1, USB 3.1 Type-C (compatible with DisplayPort output), headset terminal, USB 3 on the right side.0 × 2, SD card slot, Mini DisplayPort output on the back, HDMI output, Thunderbolt 4, 2.Prepare a wired LAN compatible with 5Gbps.Wireless LAN is compatible with Wi-Fi 6E.

　The keyboard is from SteelSeries, known as a gaming brand.You can control RGB backlights with a dedicated app.RGB LED is also built in the front part.The MSI GE76 Raider I tried was an English sequence, but the Raider GE76 12U, which is close to the specifications introduced above, has a Japanese keyboard.

　The size of the body is 397 x 284 x 25.9mm (width x depth x height) and weight 2.9kg.The AC adapter was 280W, so it was huge, 1,029g in my actual measurement.

　From here, let's move on to the benchmark test, which can be said to be the main subject.This time, for comparison, NVIDIA's NVIDIA's top CORE I9-11980HK (8 cores 16 threads, up to 5GHz) in the 11th generation Core Core in the CPU, GeForce RTX 3080 TI Laptop GPU will be announced on the GPU.The MSI GE76 RAIDER equipped with the GeForce RTX 3080 Laptop GPU, which was the highest for notebooks, was prepared.The memory capacity is 32GB of the DDR4-3200.After all, I want to prepare something that looks the same and has different CPUs, GPUs, and memory.The combination of Core i9-11980HK+GeForce RTX 3080 Laptop GPU was the highest class combination as a gaming note until the end of 2021.I would like to pay attention to how much performance has increased due to the change of generations.

　In addition, MSI GE76 RAIDER can select multiple operation modes in the app "MSI Center", but this time both models are set to "balance".The GPU Switch is also tested by unifying the "discrete graphic mode".

　First, let's look at the "Cinebench R23", which measures CPU power with CG rendering, and "PCMark 10", which measures the overall performance of the PC.

Cinebench R23PCMark 10

　Core i9-12900HK is a 14-corore and 20 thread, so it is natural that the Multi Core score of Cinebench R23 is high, and the performance of Single Core has also been greatly improved from Core i9-11980HK.It is a part where you can see the excellent P core.It can be said that it is resistant to multitasking and single tasks.

　For PCMark 10, Core i9-12900HK has expanded the score for "Essentials", which runs general apps such as Web browsers and "Digital Content Creation", which runs creative apps.On the other hand, Productivity, which runs an office app, is an error level.However, the PCMARK 10 Productivity uses open source libreOffice, so I tried the "UL Procyon Office Productivity Benchmark", which actually operates and scores a more common Microsoft Office.

　The score of Core i9-12900HK exceeded all tests.The 14 -core 20 thread CPU power is not a direct.Core i9-12900HK has been found to work enough for Microsoft Office.

　Next, try Adobe's photo retouching app "Photoshop" and "Lightroom Classic", a photo editing and organizing app, and try the "UL Procyon Photo Editing Benchmark", which makes a score out.

UL Procyon Photo Editing Benchmark

　There was no big difference in "Image Retouching", which is the main process of Photoshop, but the "Batch Processing", which performs the processing of Lightroom Classic, has risen by about 18%.Despite the difference in CPU power, Lightroom Classic is likely to affect the bandwidth of the memory and the effect of the DDR5-4800 is large.

　Next, let's try "UL Procyon Video Editing Benchmark", which edits and encodes with Adobe video editing application "Premiere Pro".

UL Procyon Video Editing Benchmarkエンコード時間

　In Video Editing Benchmark, two types of projects are H.264 and H.Execute the encoding to 256.The difference is difficult to understand in the overall score, so we decided to post the actual encoding time.Attention is H.It is a 265 (4K UHD) 1/2 item.H.Since 265 is a high-compression format, CPU power is important for conversion, but Core i9-12900HK has finished processing more than 15 minutes earlier than Core i9-11980HK.Core i9-12900HK was completed faster in other encoding times, and the strength was also shown in video editing.

　From here, let's approach the gaming performance.First of all, the DirectX 11 -based "Fire Strike" and "Time Spy" based on DirectX 12 were executed from the classic 3DMark.

3DMark Fire Strike3DMark Time Spy

　The combination of Core i9-12900HK+RTX 3080 TI has been increasing the score, but both have a slight increase in Graphics.As mentioned earlier, the RTX 3080 TI has a significant increase in CUDA core than RTX 3080, but the operation clock is a little lower.Apps that have more CUDA cores than the operation clock should change again.Looking at the "Physics" of Fire Strike and the "CPU" of Time Spy, which measure the performance of the CPU, both have a significant score.It can be said that the power of Core i9-12900HK has been effective for the rise in the overall score.

　Next, try a real game."Rainbow Six Siege" is available as a lightweight class, "Rainbow Six Extraction" as a medium -class class, "Furza Horizon 5", which also supports late racing as a heavyweight class.The frame rate is all measured with the benchmark function with a built -in game.All resolutions are full HD.

レインボーシックス シージレインボーシックス エクストラクションファークライ6Forza Horizon 5

　The light FPS, Rainbow Six Siege, has a frame rate that can make use of the 356fps and 360Hz refresh rate even for Core i9-12900HK+RTX 3080 Ti.It can be said that it is perfect for e -sports.Furry 6 is a very heavy game when it is enabled to enable late racing because of beautiful graphic drawing, but it still gave a high frame rate of 93fps with the highest image quality setting.It can be said that even heavy -class games with late -racing can be handled in a margin.

　A little interesting is Forza Horizon 5.The frame rate of the general and GPU is almost the same as Core i9-12900HK+RTX 3080 Ti and Core i9-11980HK+RTX 3080.However, the CPU simulation and CPU rendering frame rate for seeing the CPU power are higher than Core i9-12900HK+RTX 3080 TI.You can see the improvement of CPU performance here.

　Core i9-12900HK is also strong in multitasking by adopting a hybrid design.Therefore, using the video distribution application "OBS Studio", it is distributed on YouTube (CBR, Proset: Quality, Profile: High) on NVENC, and 15Mbps (CPU -control: CPU: CBR, Proset: Proset: Proset: Proset: Proset: Proset: Proset: Proset: Proset:While recording with Fast, profile: Main), I tried to see how the frame rate changes by running the game benchmark.The game uses "Rainbow Six Extraction" and "Furry 6".

OBS Studioで配信と録画を同時に行ないつつ、ゲームのベンチマークを実行したレインボーシックス エクストラクション+OBS配信ファークライ6+OBS配信

　レインボーシックス エクストラクションを見ると、Core i9-12900HKは配信&録画をしていない場合に比べて平均が28fpsの低下に留まっているのに比べ、Core i9-11980HKは40fpsも低下。しかも、全体で3.A 1%encoding mistake occurred, and when I watched the recorded videos, I saw some parts that seemed to fall down and caught.On the other hand, Core i9-12900HK has a perfect encoding mistake of 0%.

　ファークライ6は、どちらのCPUもエンコードミスは発生しなかったが、Core i9-12900HKは配信&録画をしていない場合に比べて平均が25fps低下だったが、Core i9-11980HKは40fps低下と差は大きかった。快適なプレイの目安となる平均60fpsを大きく下回ってしまうのは厳しいところ。この結果からCore i9-12900HK+RTX 3080 Tiの組み合わせなら、重量級ゲームでもフルHDなら最高画質でプレイしつつ、配信と録画までこなせるだけの性能があると言ってよいだろう。

　If you have such a high performance, you will be worried about power consumption.At the time of idle, when the Multi Core of Cinebench R23 was executed, the power consumption during the 3DMark Time Spy was measured with REX-BTWATTCH1 on the Ratok system.

システム全体の消費電力

　Although the performance has improved, the power consumption is also improved.Since the Cinebench R23 does not have a load on the GPU, it is not so high power consumption, but the 3DMark Time Spy has a large power consumption because both the CPU and the GPU are loaded.I honestly think that Core i9-12900HK+RTX 3080 TI has a fairly barely sense to rise to up to 274W with a 280W AC adapter.

　Finally, check the operation clock and temperature during the game play of Core i9-12900HK+RTX 3080 TI.CPU and GPU operation clock and temperature when playing "Cyber Punk 2077" for 10 minutes HWINFO64 V7.I'm following 16.

CPU/GPU動作クロック遷移CPU/GPU温度遷移

　Regarding the CPU, the P core runs around 4GHz and the E core is around 3GHz until 2 minutes after 2 minutes, but after that, P core 2.Around 9GHz, E -core 2.Go down to around 3GHz.Looking at the temperature, it is time to rise to 91 ° C.I guess it would be a construction to lower the clock when the CPU temperature rises to this point.After the clock dropped, the temperature was around 72 ° C and the level was not stable and anxious.

　GPU is almost 1.Stable around 6GHz.It was working on a clock slightly higher than the boost clock on the specifications.The temperature rises slowly, and at most 69 ° C, there is no problem at all.The cooling system of MSI GE76 Raider is excellent.

　Core i9-12900HK is a very attractive CPU.The laptop has achieved a 14 -core and 20 thread menny core, and all of the offices, creative and game -based games have exceeded the previous generation CPU.GeForce RTX 3080 Ti Laptop GPU is the strongest active gaming note that can handle and record at the same time while playing heavyweight games.It would be ant to use it as a creative notebook by taking advantage of its performance.It seems that it is not bad considering the recent rise in GPU prices with almost the same specifications as the MSI GE76 RAIDER I tried this time.
