I have a Yoga slim 7 Pro with a 6800HS and integrated GPU at work and I must say, Lenovo has come a long way in product quality. It's simply an excellent daily driver. Good battery life, very light, nice screen, and very nice keyboard and Lenovo has stopped with all the junkware that they used to preinstall. I also noticed that the AMD ryzen processors also seem to have aged better than the same generation Intel CPUs.

The power draw would be insane, also the performance gap. So they dont want to give their suppliers and customers not too much of a gap on the Notebook Brand experience.

I purchased this laptop (Yoga Slim 7 Pro X) with a AMD Ryzen 7 6800HS, 32gb RAM, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 Max-Q (4Gb, GDDR6) and Touchscreen. Battery life isn’t great, but with the 100W Power Cord my 4-cell 70Wh battery gets charged very fast. Only real downside: no HDMI-port and no fingerprint sensor. Overall: I’m extremely happy, the laptop is very quiet and is relatively light. The screen is simply lovely and with the 32Gb RAM helps a lot when multi tasking. I chose the AMD over the Intel due to price. Plus, I never had an AMD-processor laptop before and I was just curious. Note: I actually considered the 2022 13” MacBook pro but I will probably get the 16” pro later this year and I chose the Lenovo as my ‘carry-on’ laptop.

@racerex340 Жыл бұрын

The price and battery life are only parts about this comparison that was surprising. I'm not at all surprised that the Alder Lake platform had better single threaded performance, and therefore roughly 5% higher gaming performance at 1080p given the higher core clock boosting and faster memory, nor am I surprised at the Intel machine outpacing this AMD in cinebench given the 25% additional hardware threads on the Intel side. Even in closer CPU performing scenarios, given the same GPU, Intel tends to squeeze a little more out of Nvidia GPU's. The battery life makes no sense given what we've seen with other Ryzen 6000 HS and Alder lake laptops, I'm calling a poorly calibrated balanced power profile on the AMD side. I have a 6900HS in my G14 and it somehow does better in most of the benchmarks (gaming isn't fair comparison as I have a 6800), but I think Lenovo has some additional tuning to do here for power efficiency. Everything else is as expected, except for the price, that AMD laptop should be $150 cheaper with the same size SSD and amount of RAM. Either AMD is overplaying their hand, or Lenovo is trying to use the AMD system and lack of public awareness to capture additional margin per unit sold.

It means 13900k is already performing better than 12900k(240watt) while using 65 to 80 watt. 13 gen laptops will perform a lot faster with the same power as 12 gen.

A lot of power in a thin chassis can also bring a lot of heat. This is why a lot of laptop owners (myself included) are big into undervolting because thermal throttling is such a problem. The more power, the more heat and bad performance. Even the best cooling solution on a laptop fails compared to a desktop. It is frustrating because you really can't take advantage of that extra power in gaming or production in a laptop due to heat. Processors are really good today, but unless you can dissipate that heat, it means nothing. It is interesting what they are able to put into laptops today, but until the thermal issue is solved, it is going to be underwhelming. Also to note. While undervolting can keep temps down, you lose performance as the tradeoff. And it seems like the Intel chips are set to thermal throttle long before you get to 95 C; actually it starts sucking at 80 C. I just can't recommend any of these gaming laptops. They just don't perform very good and if you tweak them, you will lose production ability to game and vice versa. It is all a tradeoff.

You should have tested more on these different power levels. If Hardware unboxed testing is true, the current AMD Chips have better multi-threaded performance under 35 W and the Intel chip over 35 W. So the AMD Chip has a different Power sweet spot, thus the different configuration by the manufacturer make sense. So it would be really nice to see battery life, Cinebench and maybe one representative game with the different power modes.

Hello ..would like to know which one did you get or buy and how is it ....battery life ?....and which is better between the amd and Intel one

@Z020852 Жыл бұрын

They probably figured out a BIOS that will seamlessly disable P-Cores when you're unplugged and there's no load so it doesn't even draw a heck of a lot of standby power for those cores. On Eco mode or whatever it's called chances are you're only running E-Cores, just that 1) this is still a newer architecture and 2) you still have eight of them, so it doesn't end up feeling like using a Netbook with a larger screen. I think Dell figured this out first last year and I was holding out for the G15 and M15 hoping that if I ever have to take it on the go (and without the time to get it off battery life extender mode and fully charge the thing before I shove it into my backpack) I wouldn't worry too much about running out of juice while having more cache for gaming. Thanks to recent price drops though I just went with AMD+NVidia.

@cameronbosch1213 Жыл бұрын

Honestly, that's what SHOULD have been done with E-cores. The P-cores should be disabled on battery life unless tougher tasks are called upon. I mean, could the lack of that be why AMD did better in terms of battery life in 2022?

@defnotatroll Жыл бұрын

I have one of these lenovos and the p cores do not get disabled on battery. From my experience it's actually the opposite. I checked task manager once and all the e cores were at 0% usage whilst the p cores had constant 5% or less usage

@Z020852 Жыл бұрын

@@cameronbosch1213 When Intel announced this back in early 2021 I totally thought that was how it would work, ie it'd only load up the big cores when you launch anything and run something intensive enough. At best Windows would run on one pCore but the scheduler is there to offload a lot of Windows tasks to the eCores. Then the 12th gen laptops happened and batt life still kind of sucked until that one Dell ultrabook came out. Can't even remembee which one it was and what channel did the review but they specifically said there that the pCores basically don't just draw less power when loaded, they're practically inactive it's like sleep mode. The way I understood the explanation it was like having a start-stop hybrid.

@Z020852 Жыл бұрын

@@defnotatroll So in car terms these are basically like having a hybrid that runs the gas engine on extreme eco mode, and then runs the electric engines to add power when on Hoghway or Sport Mode (or when the rear tires are slipping at lower traction scenarios).

My burning question is how these laptops compare simply watching KZfaq videos. I had a Lenovo AMD 4750U-based laptop. The problem was the inferior power management. I played around with the Windows 10 power slider and power management modes to no avail. I could get the AMD laptop to either be quiet, but permanently limited to about 1.7GHz (even single core), or the fans would spool up and it would be loud when decoding KZfaq videos, drowning out the sound. The power management was bad. You had to switch modes every time you wanted to watch KZfaq. My subsequent Lenovo Intel Tiger Lake laptop is much better. The Windows 10 power management slider essentially controls the maximum fan level. In "Better Battery" mode it is consistently quiet, yet spools up to max turbo frequency on single cores no problem. The Intel laptop is day to day useable, while the AMD was annoying. I'd really love to know how the two laptops compare in a KZfaq test for loudness, especially with KZfaq videos that use demanding codecs. Has AMD improved with the 6000 series at all? I came away with the impression that the 4000 series was unrefined. For laptops that spend much of their time in light use, it's better if Cinebench numbers are balanced with actual useability.

@learnyee Жыл бұрын

Somehow agreed with you on the bad power management optimisation on Lenovo Laptop. I had the Yoga 6 running AMD 5700U, on average it uses about 12-15W of power on battery, vs 1st Gen Asus G14 Ryzen 7 4800HS which runs on average of 9-12W on battery, by which the G14 runs much cooler on plug-in or battery, and runs much smoother compare to the 5700U. The only good thing on the Yoga 6 vs the G14 is the form factor, weight and a relatively small USB C 45W charger instead of the bigger and heavier power brick
