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

Raytheon ZERO has been around for many years, but in 2023, it continues to glow with its cool design, strong performance release and brilliant high-brush screen. And in terms of its pricing, Raytheon ZERO 2023 is also very close to the people.

The version we have in hand is the i9-13900HX + RTX 4060 version, currently priced at 8298 yuan, which is quite cost-effective. In this article, CTOnews.com will evaluate its performance in detail.

Design Raytheon ZERO 2023 game this uses a series of classic "apocalypse" design language, the whole machine size for the standard 16-inch game size, thickness 21.5mm, bare metal weight 2.58kg, is the kind of more traditional game design.

The design of side An is full of three-dimensional sense. In the middle is Raytheon's iconic Logo,Logo support for custom RGB lights. The design of the four-outlet tuyere on the back is also excellent, and the ring lights on both sides are like the taillights of a sports car, which is very cool, and this light also supports customization. The highly identifiable sports car look and the RGB Logo are very suitable for players with a flamboyant personality.

The edge position has the eye-catching "ZERO" series name, the speed sense is full.

The B-side screen is a highlight of the Raytheon ZERO series. Raytheon stuffed the 16-inch 16:10 screen under the 15.6-inch fuselage, making the screen ratio as high as 91%, making it look good. At the same time, the Logo of the camera and THUNDEROBOT has also been retained. The 2.5K high resolution and the ultra-high refresh rate of 240Hz are also the hearts of e-sports players.

We use the color calibrator to measure, we can see that this screen has 99.3% sRGB color gamut coverage and 106.9% color gamut volume, it is a standard sRGB wide color gamut screen, and it will not be too rich or too light when used under Windows.

The average brightness of the measured screen is about 470nit, which is also a very high brightness screen.

The C side is made of frosted metal for a comfortable feel. The power key is also designed to be a glowing THUNDEROBOT.

Keyboard key range is very long, feel good, support white backlight.

There is an orange button in the upper right corner, which serves as the finishing touch. Click to make the fan at full speed with one button.

The trackpad below also uses a texture design with a sense of speed.

The D side is a rare round design in the game world, with not only a large area of air outlet, but also a pair of loudspeaker holes at the bottom, with its own Nahimic sound software, good sound quality can be achieved.

There are two 3.1Gen1 and one 3.1Gen2, a USB3.1 Gen2 Type-C interface supporting DP1.4 video output, a 1 × 3.5mm two-in-one audio interface, a Mini DP1.4 interface, a HDMI 2.1interface and a gigabit network interface.

The interface as a whole is still very rich, the only regret is that it does not support PD charging.

Hardware analysis We have this version of Raytheon ZERO 2023 CPU which is i9-13900HX, an H55 over-voltage mobile CPU, and an orthodox 13-generation Core. Built on the intel 7 process, it has 8 performance cores and 16 energy efficiency cores, with a total of 24 cores and 32 threads, with a maximum frequency of 5.4 GHz L3 cache 36MB. The Xe kernel with 32 EU kernel has a strong performance comparable to that of the desktop side.

The GPU is the new Geforce RTX 4060 laptop GPU, and the ZERO 2023 directly peaked at 140W full power consumption. It has a 3072 CUDA core, GPU frequency up to 2370MHz, 128bit wide 8GB 128bit GDDR6 memory, and supports the new DLSS3 technology to achieve AI frame insertion, resulting in a smoother gaming experience.

So, can the mold of Raytheon ZERO 2023 bring the fully upgraded configuration of this generation? Let's take a look at the machine next. As can be seen from the picture below, Raytheon ZERO 2023 uses a two-fan five-heat pipe heat dissipation module, covering the core heating area.

Memory expansion and hard disk expansion are both within the reach of the naked eye, and the upgrade and expansion is quite convenient. The factory comes with a DDR5 4800MHz memory with a capacity of 16 gigabytes. I like this design very much, because it can be easily expanded to 32 gigabytes. If it is 8G+8G, after the expansion, we have to find a way to dispose of it, which obviously requires a lot of trouble.

The built-in hard disk is Jintaike's 2280 solid-state disk, which uses PCIe4.0*4 channel and has a capacity of 512g. We will test the specific performance later. There is an additional M.2 slot at the bottom of the hard disk, which is very convenient for expansion.

For this kind of non-portable games, battery capacity is relatively less important, it is enough to play the role of a UPS. But Raytheon ZERO is still equipped with a large 64.31Wh battery and can stick to a game after a power outage.

So what is the performance release of this heat dissipation system of Raytheon ZERO 2023? We then use AIDA64 for single-baking FPU,15 minutes, the CPU temperature stabilized at 90 ℃, when the CPU power consumption reached about 110W, this performance release is quite excellent, can fully release the excellent performance of the H55 processor.

Then we use FurMark doughnuts to bake for GPU,15 minutes, the core temperature is stable at 80.8 ℃, and the power consumption is stable at 140W, which is more than enough for the RTX 4060 laptop GPU.

Next, we run the above two software at the same time to simulate the maximum pressure and run the double baking for 15 minutes. After 15 minutes, CPU stabilized at 61W and 81 ℃, GPU stabilized at 107W and 76.79 ℃, and nearly 170W was released, which is absolutely excellent for a cost-effective game.

In terms of running points, the RTX 4060 Laptop GPU can fully release all the performance, and the GPU theoretical score of 3DMark TimeSpy has reached 10247, which is about the same as that of the previous generation RTX 3070Ti Laptop GPU, but the power consumption in the actual game is much lower.

In R20, which represents the theoretical performance of CPU, the scores of single thread and multi-thread are 808 and 10563 respectively. In R23, it achieved a single-core score of 2104 and a multi-core score of 26790, an excellent performance. It is completely comparable to the desktop-level 13-generation Core i7 processor.

The hard disk is a medium-speed PCIe4.0*4 solid state of Jintaike, and its performance is OK.

The memory is the standard 4800MHz DDR5 single-channel notebook memory, the running score is also in line with the normal performance of single-channel DDR5 notebook memory, it is recommended to directly add one, or directly buy 32GB memory version.

As can be seen from the above, the theoretical performance improvement of Raytheon ZERO 2023 is quite significant. It is worth mentioning that ZERO 2023 also supports the single display direct connection function, so we will test all the following games with 2560mm 1600p resolution + highest image quality + single display direct connection, and with DLSS, we will drive to the balance gear DLSS. If there is DLSS3, the number of frames of the switch DLSS3 will be tested separately.

First of all, e-sports game, we selected "CS:GO", "PUBG", "League of Legends" and "fearless contract" four mainstream e-sports games for testing. Measured in "CS:GO", running BenchMark can reach an average of 321 frames, and the game experience is excellent.

On the side of "PUBG", it is measured that it can run to an average of 112 frames under the highest picture quality, which can fully meet the high-frame play of the highest picture quality.

"League of Legends" is a specialty of intel processors. Thanks to the i9-13900X 36MB junior slow, Raytheon ZERO 2023 can reach an average of about 636 frames under the highest picture quality, even in the later stage of the group war.

Finally, the author also tried the latest launch of the "fearless contract" of the national service, the average frame of the measured training ground can also reach 359, but also can run all over this 240Hz electronic competition screen.

From our above tests, most of e-sports 's games can be played in 2.5K 240Hz high frames, and the picture quality is the highest. It seems that the configuration of the 13th generation Core i9-HX + RTX 4060 laptop GPU is really strong. Next, let's test some mainstream 3A games. In "Tomb Raider: shadow", the highest 2.5K special effects, the number of frames up to 97 frames, play is not a problem.

Thanks to the improvement in the performance of light chase, the RTX 4060 laptop GPU can also easily play light chase. For example, in Control, even if the highest quality and highest light tracking is turned on, the number of frames can reach a full average of 64 frames.

‏ for 3A masterpieces with higher configuration requirements, there is also DLSS3 technology to help. In the past, the DLSS2 of ‏‏ was to render a low-resolution image, and then AI zoomed in to high resolution to improve the image quality and frame number. The new DLSS3 not only is compatible with DLSS2, but 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 DLSS2, AI can reconstruct up to 7/8 display pixels, compared with no DLSS, the game performance can be improved by up to 4 times ‏‏ ‏‏! ‏

‏ Let's first take a look at the most stressful ‏‏ "Cyberpunk 2077" ‏‏. ‏‏ runs its own BenchMark under Super Light. ‏‏ turns on balanced DLSS at an average of only about 45 frames by default, and the game experience is not very smooth. ‏

‏ while the DLSS3 option is fully on, the average frame can be increased to about 66 frames, satisfying 2.5K high-performance free play light chase, it seems that DLSS3 technology is really outstanding. ‏

‏ legendary 3A masterpiece "Wizards 3" has also recently updated the next-generation version, with greatly improved configuration requirements, but also provides support for DLSS3 technology, which is good news for ‏ RTX 40 series laptops. Judging from the frame count test, it is very difficult for the ‏ RTX 4060 laptop GPU ‏ to chase all the fun Wizards 3. Without DLSS, it even has an average of 19 frames. ‏

The average ‏ is only 40 frames under the DLSS 2 balanced gear, and the game experience is still not very smooth. ‏

‏ but if you turn on DLSS3, you can reach an average of 60 frames. It can meet the needs of smooth play in most scenarios. ‏

‏ creative production of ‏ has such a strong performance, it is certainly possible to do some office production work. In the PCMARK10 showing daily office performance, Raytheon ZERO 2023 has a score of 8282, which can meet any office needs.

CrossMark, which also represents comprehensive office performance, has a comprehensive score of 2003, which can also meet the needs of office production.

We also tested PS and PR, which are commonly used in creative production. In the PS software, performance certainly will not become a bottleneck, the measured score reached 1105 points, can smoothly carry out most of the revision and mapping work.

In the video editing software PugetBenchMark For Pr, Raytheon ZERO 2023 is scored 1250 points, Intel shows strong decoding ability plus NVENC graphics card acceleration, a two-pronged approach, you can smoothly clip 4K video.

In the commonly used special effects production software Ae, the running score also reached 1212 points, which can also make some more complex special effects.

‏ finally, we also test the commonly used modeling software, and the measured results are as follows. The i9-13900HX's excellent multicore performance leads to a smooth modeling experience, while RTX 4060's Cuda acceleration doubles its efficiency. ‏

In conclusion, although the mold of Raytheon ZERO 2023 has not changed much, its configuration has been fully upgraded and the price has been further reduced. After searching the shopping platform, the author found that the configuration of Raytheon ZERO 2023 i9-13900HX+RTX 4060 is 1000-2000 yuan cheaper than the same configuration models of other brands, and there is no compromise in performance release and on-screen. For people who pursue performance-to-price ratio, such as prospective college students, Raytheon ZERO 2023 is undoubtedly a cost-effective choice.

At present, Raytheon ZERO 2023 has been put on sale, the i9-13900HX+RTX 4060 version of JD.com 10 billion subsidy is currently priced at 8298 yuan, if you are interested, you can find out.
