saturnotaku Posted March 1, 2023 Share Posted March 1, 2023 AMD strikes back: Ryzen 9 7945HX beats Intel Core i9-13980HX despite much lower power consumption - NotebookCheck.net News This is very impressive and makes me eager to see what lesser models are capable of. I'm likely getting out of the traditional gaming laptop scene and into a smaller form factor device that can play on the side. Something like a Lenovo Slim 7 Pro X with a Ryzen 7035 and RTX 4050 would have my interest. 5 Desktop: Ryzen 5 5600X3D | 32 GB RAM | GeForce RTX 4070 Super | 4 TB SSD | Windows 11 Gigabyte Aorus 16X: Core i7-14650HX | 32 GB RAM | GeForce RTX 4070 | 1 TB SSD | Windows 11 Lenovo IdeaPad 3 Gaming: Ryzen 7 6800H | 16 GB RAM | GeForce RTX 3050 | 512 GB SSD | Windows 11 Lenovo IdeaPad 5 Pro: Ryzen 5 5600U | 16 GB RAM | Radeon Graphics | 512 GB SSD | Windows 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KING19 Posted March 1, 2023 Share Posted March 1, 2023 That is very impressive from AMD, Not only they win in the performance battle this year but AMD CPUs have great battery life as well. But im going to say Intel will still have the advantage because AMD still has a vendor problem so there wont be many laptops that uses AMD CPUs unless something changes later in this year. 1 Current Laptop: Lenovo Legion 5: AMD Ryzen 7 4800H 2.8Ghz (Boost: 4.2Ghz), 6GB Nvidia Geforce GTX 1660Ti GDDR6 Memory, 15.6" FHD (1920 x 1080) 144Hz IPS display, 32GB 3200MHz DDR4 memory, 512GB M.2 NVMe PCIe SSD, 1 TB Teamgroup MP34 M.2 NVMe PCIe SSD, Windows 10 Home 22H2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is possible that one of these will turn up in the Alienware m18 but indeed Intel seems to have covered pretty much all flagship designs with their 13900/950/980HX. Maybe it will turn up in one or more of the upcoming workstations from HP or others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SapphiraTriX298 Posted March 5, 2023 Share Posted March 5, 2023 That was a better showing from AMD than I expected. I think Intel is going to have to fight harder to remain dominant in laptops. I don't have great hopes for meteor lake, but if they want to keep market share next time around they will have to keep that single thread/gaming win. If they lose it I don't know what else they have to offer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kojack Posted March 11, 2023 Share Posted March 11, 2023 unplug both laptops and see what happens. Is AMD still throttling everything as soon as the power is removed or did that fix that nonsense?

Reciever Posted March 11, 2023 Share Posted March 11, 2023 Wont know until someone gets their hands on one. Though I wouldnt expect the most performance if its out of a Dell system, they've traditionally always treated AMD components as an afterthought. Telegram / TS3 / Twitter 2700X to 5800X3D upgrade!

ssj92 Posted March 13, 2023 Share Posted March 13, 2023 It's funny, all these laptops are expensive. Yet, thanks to a 15% off coupon, my maxed out m18 was actually a really good price ($32xx after tax). I know AW gets crap for being expensive, but these other brands are very expensive as well (especially razer and msi). Dell normally always has some sort of coupon going or you can always talk on chat or phone for a discount. I could have paid even less if I went with 16GB RAM & 512GB SSD, but with the 15% coupon, it wasn't a bad deal going 32GB/1TB. I just wish 13980HX was an option already. My laptop is already in production so I may just keep it as is, just hope the 13900HX I get is a decent bin.

You are a very impatient person, I would have bet that you were going for the 13980HX just because 🙂 Not that it would make much of a difference outside of benchmarks. And you are right about the pricing, with the 15%off the 4080 / 13900HX version is a pretty good value by the way, should come out to something between 2.2 and 2.4K I believe.

But to be fair the competition already has 13980HX CPUs out. They have QHD 240Hz displays out too. At this rate I might as well have waited for R2 model. Original plan was to cancel 13900HX model & buy 13980HX but they already took so long to release 4090 GPUs that the 13980HX might still be months away. Dell does offer 30-day returns so worse case would be I return it and go 13980HX or 7945HX but it all depends how my 13900HX performs. 4080 model is $2,705.34 after tax with 15% coupon here. 4090 model is $3,264.13 after tax with 15% coupon code. tax here is nearly 10%. Difference of $558.79 which is a bit more than I was expecting (400-500 max). However, at this price point I'd rather go big or go home, especially with 12GB vs 16GB VRAM difference too. My laptop delivers March 29th as of now so we will see.

1610ftw Posted March 14, 2023 Share Posted March 14, 2023 Without taxes the 4080 in its cheapest config comes out to $2251,65 with your 15% coupon and with the mechanical keyboard and an upgrade to W11 Pro we are looking at $2375,74.

Also it has better connectivity and there are two additional m2 slots although due to their size they are of limited use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KING19 Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 Apparently Ryzen 9 7945HX allows undervolting which is very good news. Timestamps are in the video.
