Shulou(Shulou.com)11/24 Report--

As lovers of digital products, when we exchange PC hardware on the Internet, we mostly discuss consumer PC, while commercial PC is rarely included in the discussion. However, from the actual PC market share report, commercial PC is the main force of revenue, accounting for more than 50% all the year round. In commercial PC, most of the market is tightly held by intel.

Although commercial PC and consumer PC hardware seem to be similar, the two types of PC were born for different purposes. Consumer PC is characterized by rapid iteration of configuration function, outstanding personalized design, diverse product types, and more emphasis on single value and entertainment application requirements. The sales channel is mainly retail, which means that consumer PC needs more competitors and can tolerate some unstable situations.

The commercial PC is designed for enterprises and institutions and other organizations, characterized by large-scale deployment, high security, high maintainability, the purchase channel is also based on batch procurement, in use requires absolute stability, durability and compatibility. Any slight instability is likely to bring huge losses to the enterprise.

Productivity testing software introduction, of course, for a computer, performance is the most important factor, only the performance up, the enterprise's production efficiency can follow up. So how to fairly quantify the productivity of commercial computers? We can refer to the data provided by CrossMark, a cross-platform performance testing tool. CrossMark is also a software developed by Bapco, which has the advantages of short testing time, simple installation, non-invasive and good compatibility with other software. at the same time, it also supports Windows, MacOS and other platforms to run. Therefore, in this paper, we can achieve the horizontal comparison between MacBook and Windows notebooks.

In order to further understand which capabilities of computers are specifically tested by each project, we also looked at CrossMark's white paper. According to the white paper published by BAPCo, CrossMark mainly gives fair ratings to daily work, such as web browsing, document editing, as well as creative related work such as photo and video editing, and then reflecting the actual daily use environment. There are the following sub-projects:

Productivity 1. File editing (DE): email writing and management, PDFs, Word word processing

two。 Spreadsheet (SS): Excel table editing, large-scale data statistical calculation

3. Web browsing (WB): loading websites, loading pages, switching tabs

Creativity 1. Photo editing (PE): photo editing, post-processing

two。 Photo finishing (PO): photo classification, machine learning image recognition

3. Video editing (VE): video clips, compositing rendering

Reaction 1. Response speed (RE): response speed of opening multiple files

According to the introduction of the testing institution, recently, the authoritative Chinese Academy of Metrology has successively used CrossMark to conduct a number of tests on the productivity of commercial computers, and released the relevant data. The Chinese Academy of Metrology, which belongs to the State Administration of Market Supervision and Administration, is the highest metrological research center and national legal metrological technical institution. It is a public welfare scientific research institution with industry authority, professionalism and objectivity. The running software used by the organization is the full platform productivity testing tool CrossMark 1.0.1.88, the test operating system is Windows 11 professional version (version: 10.0.22000), and the motherboard, graphics card and other drivers are installed, so that the hardware system can work normally and stably.

In this paper, the reports of six machines, Lenovo M455 Core i5-12400, i7-12700, HP Battle 99 Pro A G4 Sharon R5-5600G, R7-5700G, and ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 10 Core i7-1260p and MacBook Pro M1 Pro, were analyzed and compared, and their productivity, creativity and response speed scores were analyzed. For the specific test methods of the Chinese Academy of Metrology, you can refer to the short video below:

Next, let's compare the productivity score of the tested equipment, which is the most basic ability of a computer. if it is usually mostly text work, checking materials, doing presentations, data collation, etc., you can judge who is more suitable for you through productivity PR comparison. Although this project is the most basic capability of computers, it is also the most important capability for commercial mainframes, and small gaps add up, which may bring a gap in productivity for enterprises.

As we can see from the above productivity data, i5-12400 and i7-12700 show amazing productivity, while other tested products remain at roughly the same level. Of course, there is no problem with these processors in handling daily text work, but the higher score of the 12th generation Kouri also means it can be used for longer without stutters.

The second comparison of creativity is creativity CR, which has a greater impact on creative workers, such as drawing, editing, film rendering or photo editing, which can be judged by the running score of creativity. It can be said that this test is the most perceptive project in the actual work, for example, the preview flow during editing is not smooth, and there are obvious differences in the speed of export, so it can be reflected in the work immediately after changing the device.

From the above productivity data, we can see that thanks to the strong kernel display, M1 Pro does have a good performance, but it is still slightly worse than i7-12700 in the face of the absolute CPU performance gap. At the same time, i7-1260P also uses the 12-generation core new hybrid heterogeneity, multi-core performance is greatly improved, outstanding performance in creative production projects.

Response ability comparison the last item is the response ability, as the name implies, such as the speed of opening programs and files, you can know the difference when you click to open it. This item is mainly affected by the single-core performance of CPU and the speed of the hard disk installed. Today's new computers mostly use SSD solid-state drives, the gap will not be too big, so the biggest impact is the single-core performance of CPU.

The actual performance is also consistent with our guess. The actual response capability rankings are almost based on the single-core capabilities of these computers. Although the overall performance of M1 Pro is good, the single core is relatively weak, so the responsiveness is slightly weaker. I5-12400 and i7-12700 bring ultra-fast response speed with their strong single-core performance.

Compared with the following CrossMark total score, the total score represents the overall performance of a computer. The total score of CrossMark will be adjusted according to different usage scenarios, for example, the frequency of CPU, the number of cores mentioned in the white paper, as well as single / dual channels of hard disk, memory, kernel display, and screen resolution will have an impact. However, as the Chinese Academy of Metrology has helped us do the control variables, so we can rest assured to compare the total score.

As we can see from the above data, there is no doubt that i7-12700 is the most productive. The excellent single-core and multi-core performance brought by the hybrid architecture makes it number one in any project. In terms of performance-to-price ratio, i5-12400 is better. Although it does not use a hybrid architecture, its outstanding single-core performance allows it to handle almost all day-to-day tasks. The i7-1260P on the mobile side, as a high-end model with a 12-generation hybrid architecture, is equally productive, even when compared to Apple's flagship products.

Summary through the test report of the Chinese Academy of Metrology and the analysis of CTOnews.com today, I believe you can see that whether in high-end desktop office or high-end mobile platform, the performance of 12-generation Coorui on commercial PC is very excellent. Equipped with 12-generation Core i7-12700, with advanced hybrid heterogeneity, it brings amazing multi-core performance and response speed, which is very suitable for facing more complex commercial tasks, and can provide better performance than competitive platforms. With more powerful performance, the production efficiency of enterprises will also be further improved. Laptops with i7-1260p can also provide productivity close to desktop-level midrange processors with power consumption as low as 28W. Under such a strong performance, stable use and the halo of the drafters of industry standards, it is not surprising that 12-generation Coorui has become the favorite of corporate procurement.
