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

AMD unveiled the AMD Auron 7000 series of mobile processors at this year's CES 2023 show, of which the most eye-catching is the Zen 4-based, highest-positioning 7045HX series, of which the AMD Auron 9 7945HX processor is the most powerful. Models with this processor are now on the market.

As a starter, ROG launched its avant-garde product, the Sovereign 7 Plus. CTOnews.com has got this performance monster for the first time, and now brings you a review of the experience of this product.

First, the design of the ROG 7 Plus super version of the mold can still see the unique style of the series, the whole machine is a super-large 17.3in game body, the screen is huge, and the use of suspension design, excellent look and feel.

First look at the notebook A side, ROG Devil 7 Plus super version of the all-metal A material, the center of the right side of the ROG logo is very eye-catching, daily use can also be luminous, and keyboard lights and U-shaped lights at the bottom to achieve linkage, "the eyes of failure" full of faith.

On the left side of the Logo is a strip of texture oblique cut off, take a closer look at the two thin lines between a very small ROG Logo, the details are in place.

The B side of the product is a huge 17.3-inch professional video competition screen. It has a resolution of 2560 to 1440, a refresh rate of 240Hz, and supports 3ms low-latency response, giving it a head start in e-sports 's game.

There is a new raised camera area at the top of the screen, which makes it easier to lift the lid.

After the notebook C side is lit, the dazzling keyboard lights illuminate every button, cool techs is full. The C face is made of composite material as a whole, with four breathing lights above the keyboard area and a glass trackpad below, which feels very textured.

At the same time, in the C plane, we can also see the bright side thin stripe texture which is triangulated and oblique like the A plane, which brings a trace of dexterity to the overall design of the C plane.

Below the keyboard is the iconic suspended light belt of the ROG devil series, which can illuminate the entire desktop and instantly enter the atmosphere of e-sports.

The design of the hinge area ROG Warcraft 7 Plus Super Edition has a mechatronic feel, with the top divided into two areas by a diagonal line, with gray ornaments with "ROG" Logo on one side and heat dissipation modules with countless small-hole grids on the other.

From the top down, you can see a variety of interfaces in front of the hinge section, including power ports, 2.5G RJ45 ports, HDMI 2.1ports that support 8K 60Hz / 4K 120Hz, two USB 3.2Gen2 Type-C ports (both support DisplayPort 1.4video output and G-SYNC, and one of them supports 100W PD charging), with cooling vents on both sides. It is worth mentioning that the left vent shows the word "MMVI", corresponding to 2006 of the Roman numerals, which is the year in which the ROG brand was established.

In addition, there are two USB 3.2 Gen1 Type-A ports and 3.5mm headphone ports on the left side of the fuselage.

There is no lack of design sense at the bottom of the fuselage of ROG 7 Plus Super Edition. There are two heat dissipation grid areas above, soft rubber mats on four corners of different shapes, and ROG Logo and English copy on the floor mats, including exclusive color eggs such as "For those who dare" and "0606" ROG, reflecting the intention and high-end sense of design everywhere.

On the whole, ROG 7 Plus Super Edition is exquisite workmanship, simple and high-end design, and there is no lack of cool dazzling sense of e-sports players, with a high-quality high-end game should have the appearance.

Second, hardware analysis in order to let you have a further understanding of the hardware of the ROG bully 7 Plus super version, let's take apart the bottom cover of the notebook and take a look at its internal structure.

As the ROG Bad 7 Plus Super Edition has a U-shaped chassis lamp, the lamp belt cable is connected to the back cover, so when removing the rear cover, you need to remove the cable first, do not pull hard.

After removing the back cover, you can see the overall structure of the glacier heat dissipation architecture version 2.0. the most eye-catching is the customized heat soaking plate on the surface, with golden CPU, GPU and various components patterns and English characters, which looks very tall and classy. Moreover, compared with the traditional heat pipe, the heat equalizing plate of Moba 7 Plus super version can distribute the heat to the whole heat dissipation module more quickly and effectively, achieving a larger heat dissipation surface area, which is helpful to alleviate the heat accumulation problem of internal high-energy hardware and improve the reliability of the system.

Overall, the Moba 7 Plus Super Edition has improved 5 thickened heat pipes and double Arc Flow dust fans, and the fan has introduced a dust cover (installed on the D shell) for the first time, which can effectively prevent hair and debris from entering the fuselage to affect heat dissipation.

The hard drive is the OEM version of Samsung 980 Pro with a capacity of 1TB. It is a very powerful and stable SSD with high popularity in all aspects.

At the same time, the M.2 interface is reserved under the hard disk, which is convenient for everyone to expand, and supports the establishment of RAID 0.

The battery uses a 90Wh high-capacity battery, which is also relatively large in the game book. In addition, it also supports 100W PD fast charging.

The surface of the memory is covered with black film. After removing the film, you can see that the World of Warcraft 7 Plus Super Edition has 8GB+8GB dual-channel 4800MHz DDR5 memory, and both memory slots are expandable to support expansion to 64GB.

On the whole, the Magic 7 Plus Super Edition uses high-specification components in all aspects, and the internal structure is redesigned, exquisite and orderly, and full of industrial ingenuity.

Third, the grill runs points as mentioned earlier, the Plus super version of the CPU is equipped with AMD's strongest Ruilong 9 7945HX processor, uses the latest "Zen 4" architecture, has more than 13% IPC improvement, and is manufactured by TSMC 5nm technology, which greatly improves the energy efficiency. 16-core 32-thread, full-core design, single-core MAX acceleration frequency is higher than 5.0GHz, up to 5.4 GHz, L2 cache L3 cache reaches 80MB, as well as PBO automatic overclocking function, which can intelligently improve processor performance.

At the same time, this model obtained by CTOnews.com also carries the top NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 notebook computer GPU, with 9728 stream processors, 2090MHz Boost 16GB GDDR6 memory, 256bit bit width, video memory bandwidth 582.4GB / s, and supports a series of top technologies such as DLSS, 4th generation Tensor Core, 3rd generation RT Core and so on.

So can the World of Warcraft 7 Plus Super Edition fully release such a powerful performance configuration? After we first use AIDA64 to bake FPU,15 for a minute, the power consumption of CPU is stable at about 113.69W and the temperature is about 90.4 ℃. At this time, it does not reach the temperature wall or SPL power limit, but the TDC current limit. Higher results can be achieved by using other load types of software testing. From the point of view of the process, the performance of the 7 Plus super version is very stable, and there is basically no frequency reduction. At the same time, the temperature and noise of the fuselage are well controlled under such a large power consumption.

Then use "Geeks3D FurMark" to bake the GPU for about 15 minutes, and after 15 minutes, the power consumption of RTX 4090 runs full, stabilizing at about 175.0W, while the temperature remains at 68.3 ℃, this performance can be said to be very excellent, it can be seen that the heat dissipation capacity of glacier cooling architecture 2.0 enhanced version is indeed not empty.

In the double baking with the highest pressure, the CPU can be stabilized at 54W, the temperature is 78.3℃, while the GPU is stable at about 176W, the temperature reaches 69.6W, the power consumption of the whole machine is about 230W, the performance release is almost full, and the temperature control is very excellent.

The measured temperature is the highest in the area above the keyboard near the air outlet, but only 40.1 ℃. This area is usually untouched, while the temperature in the keyboard area is about 28.5 ℃ and that in the trackpad area is 21.4℃, which is not high. The actual somatosensory feeling is almost not much heat. Overall, the stability of the 7 Plus super version is very satisfying.

After the grill test, we did a further run test on the Plus super version of the World of Warcraft 7. First of all, the CineBench R20, which represents the theoretical performance of CPU, has a single core score of 742 and a multi-core score of 13253, which can meet the needs of most games and creative work.

In R23, it achieves 1840 points for single core and 33680 points for multi-core, which is also the achievement of AMD Ruilong 9 7945HX processor. It can only be said to be very strong, and it is far ahead of the existing mobile processors.

Then CTOnews.com made a "3DMARK" TimeSpy run, and the Devil 7 Plus super version can run to a total score of 20285, which is also at the top level. Among them, the running score of the RTX 4090 laptop GPU reached 22563.

At the same time, in Fire Strike Extreme's running score, the Magic 7 Plus Super Edition reached 25067 points, and the RTX4090 laptop GPU also scored 26326, which is also at the ceiling level in the current game book.

Next up is Samsung's solid-state drive, which also has top performance. SEQ1MQ8T1 reads and writes 6642.34 MB/s and 4938.02MB/s respectively.

The performance of memory is also good, reading 57415 MB/s and writing 48429 MB/s.

Looking at the overall score and the grill, it is like watching a muscle show of extreme performance and heat dissipation control, starring the super version of ROG 7 Plus, which is worthy of the word "superpower".

Fourth, the actual measurement of the game seems that in terms of theoretical performance, Ruilong 9 7945HX+RTX 4090 is indeed the level of God blocking God and Buddha killing Buddha. And then, as usual, we have to test the game. In the ROG bully 7 Plus super version comes with ARMOURY CRATE software, you can fine control the performance of the notebook and other settings, in the test, the editor will switch the notebook to "enhanced mode", Windows 11 built-in mode is also adjusted to "best performance", game testing, if not specifically mentioned, are carried out in 2560 × 1440 resolution + the highest picture quality.

First of all, e-sports and online games, the editor chooses "PUBG" and "against the cold" two games to test, the first is "PUBG", the picture quality option is set to ultra-high, and the average frame rate of the game is 236fps, while the screen refresh rate of ROG bully 7 Plus super version is 240Hz, which can make "PUBG" almost full of refresh rate. ROG bully 7 Plus super version is really tough. In fact, e-sports 's experience is naturally smooth and silky.

Then there is the online game "against the cold". When the game is going on, the editor also sets the picture quality to "the highest configuration", turns on ray tracing, first turns off DLSS, and measures that the average frame rate of the game is 130fps, which is excellent and can play smoothly.

Also at the highest picture quality, the editor turned on the DLSS function for testing, and this time the average frame rate came to 175fps, and the sense of smoothness of the game was significantly more smooth. We know that "against the current Cold" is also a relatively configured game, ROG Sovereign 7 Plus super version can bring such a performance, it is not easy.

Below we re-test with several 3A stand-alone masterpieces, the first is "Wild Dart 2: redemption", at 2.5K picture quality, all other screen options are set to the highest, turn off the DLSS function, use the game's own performance evaluation test, and get the average frame rate 129.58fps.

Although "Wild Dart 2: redemption" was launched on PC in 2019, it can still be called the ceiling level of game quality in the open world, and it is really impressive to be able to do so at a full 2.5K resolution.

Next up is Cyberpunk 2077, which is under great pressure on PC performance. This time we first run its own BenchMark in 1080p's highest quality light chase super mode. Although the game has just updated the latest version and put forward higher requirements for the latest light tracking performance, which has a great impact on the number of frames, we have measured an average frame rate of 71.29fps, which is already able to play smoothly.

Then the editor opened the DLSS 2 option of Cyberpunk 2077 and ran again. With the blessing of DLSS 2 technology, this time the average frame rate of ROG Warcraft 7 Plus Super Edition runs to 95.71fps, the performance is significantly improved, and the picture is smoother.

If you want a more silky and smooth gaming experience, you need to come up with DLSS 3 technology. DLSS 3 is a performance multiplier driven by AI, driven by a new fourth-generation Tensor Core and a new optical flow accelerator, the latest version of NVIDIA's acclaimed deep learning supersampling technology and groundbreaking optical multi-frame generation that will usher in a new era of NVIDIA RTX neural network rendering games and applications.

To put it simply, in the past, DLSS 2 improved the image quality and the number of frames by rendering a low-resolution image, and then AI zoomed in to high resolution. While the new DLSS 3 is compatible with DLSS 2, it also adds a frame generation function, which can insert a new frame calculated by AI between two real frames to double the number of frames. Combined with the super-resolution function of DLSS 2, AI can reconstruct up to 7/8 display pixels, and the game performance can be up to four times better than without DLSS!

After opening the "cyber punk 2077" DLSS 3 option, the average frame rate of the game is running in 171.13fps, which is about twice as high as that without DLSS, and the actual play experience can also be silky and smooth.

Of course, it is important to note that the screen resolution of ROG Warcraft 7 Plus Super Edition is 2560 to 1440, and many games are carried out at this resolution by default, so under the resolution of 2560 to 1440, the editor runs the performance test of "Cyberpunk 2077" again according to the above process, and the results are sorted out in the following table. As you can see, you can still run to 138.74fps at 2.5K resolution when you turn on DLSS 3jre ROG 7 Plus Super Edition. In fact, even if you don't open DLSS, you can already play at 2.5K resolution, but you can turn on DLSS 3, which is three times as much as without DLSS, and the advantage is more obvious!

Finally, we will test it with the next-generation version of the legendary 3A masterpiece Wizards 3. Since the game cannot be displayed in full screen at 1080p resolution during testing, the editor runs directly at 2560p / 1440 resolution, and other screen details are full (extra high +). If DLSS is not enabled, the average frame rate of ROG Warcraft 7 Plus Super Edition is 59fps in the forest scene, which is ready to play. The ability to bring the performance-demanding game "Wizard 3" to this level can be seen without turning on DLSS, which can be seen in the performance of the Magic 7 Plus Super Edition.

Then, the editor turned on the DLSS 2 function in Wizards 3, and the performance is automatic. If you test it again in the same scene, the average frame rate has come to 81fps, which is already very smooth.

Finally, the editor turned on DLSS 3, using frame generation technology, this time the average frame rate went directly to 125fps, and you can really feel silky and smooth when you play.

Overall, with the blessing of the double flagship configuration of Ruilong 9 7945HX+RTX 4090, coupled with all aspects of full performance and heat dissipation configuration, there are basically no games that ROG 7 Plus Super Edition can't deal with. In the game tested by the editor, the pressure ceiling-level "Cyberpunk 2077" can run smoothly with full picture quality, not to mention the open-hanging DLSS technology, so you just need to know that with ROG 7 Plus Super Edition, you can have both super high quality and smooth experience in almost all the games on the market. No way, high performance is so bossy.

To sum up, this ROG bully 7 Plus super version has reached the top level in terms of performance, heat dissipation, screen, appearance and so on. at present, almost all the large games on the market, it can bring you a delicate, silky and comfortable game experience, coupled with exquisite workmanship, simple and stylish appearance, enough to appeal to every player who loves the game. It can also become the most effective weapon for every e-sports user to roam the battlefield.

Of course, behind such a high configuration and high experience, it is also a high price. With the Ruilong 9 7945HX+RTX 4090 version in CTOnews.com 's hands, the price of 21999 yuan really needs a considerable budget to start. Of course, after all, this is the top version of the model, if you are not short of money, and are fanatical e-sports, game enthusiasts, then it is undoubtedly worth getting, but also relatively cost-effective. And if your budget is limited, then the new products of other configurations in the ROG 7 Plus series are actually worth considering, such as the Rui long 9 7845HX + RTX 4060 configuration with a price of only 9999 yuan for the 7 Plus. You can choose to start according to your own situation.
