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

This year, the AMD Zen 4 architecture Ruilong processor has left a deep impression on us with its excellent energy efficiency ratio and the strong performance brought by the whole core. In particular, the Ruilong 7045HX series processors have amazing performance comparable to desktop processors. However, for the past two years, the mobile Ruilong has a pity that the 3D V-Cache processor with excellent desktop gaming performance has been out of touch with the mobile terminal.

The new ROG 7 Plus Super Edition, released recently, comes with an unprecedented mobile processor: the Ruilong 9 7945HX3D. It is AMD's first mobile 3D V-Cache processor, which makes me curious about its performance. So what kind of performance shock will the ROG 7 Plus Super Edition with Ruilong 9 7945HX3D + RTX 4090 give us? In this article, CTOnews.com will give you a detailed experience and focus on testing its performance in e-sports 's game.

Design ROG Bad 7 Plus Super Edition is a brand new 17.3in game body, which is quite large, so it is designed to play games on the desktop for a long time.

The A side is all-metal design, the texture of the whole machine adopts the oblique cut design style, and the graffiti fashion style is full. With the glowing ROG "the Eye of failure" belief in logo, the look and feel is very high-profile and cool.

Open side B is a huge 17.3-inch electronic 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.

After the measurement of our color calibrator, this screen covers 99.8% sRGB and 98.7% DCI-P3. The gamut volume reached 143.5% sRGB and 101.7% DCI-P3. Is a standard P3 wide color gamut screen. Can take into account the experience of e-sports 's games and creative design.

The top also provides a high-definition camera and a stereo noise reduction microphone. It's enough for online learning and video conferencing.

Side C is also full of cool techs after lighting up. It supports single-button independent backlighting, can customize RGB lighting effects, and can be linked with other peripherals of ROG home.

The lower trackpad is equipped with glass coating, which has a large area and feels comfortable.

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

On the side of the interface, on the left are two USB-A 5Gbps ports and a headset two-in-one interface.

There are two USB 3.2 Gen2 Type-C ports, HDMI2.1 ports, 2.5G wired network ports and DC power ports on the back. And the USB-C interface supports G-Sync technology and DP1.4 video output, and the Type-C interface near HDMI also supports 100W PD charging. The interface quality of the whole machine is relatively high.

Hardware analysis

There is no doubt that the protagonist in this review is this first exclusive Ruilong 9 7945HX3D processor, which is also the first mobile processor using 3D V-Cache technology. The so-called 3D V-Cache is a new technology developed by AMD, which uses the industry's first Hybrid bond plus through-hole silicon through-hole (TSV) technology to stack L3 cache vertically and increase the L3 cache capacity without changing the processor area. And the large cache for the game, especially the high-frame e-sports game will have a qualitative improvement.

In terms of specifications, the Ruilong 9 7945HX3D is almost the same as the desktop Ruilong 9 7950X3D processor, also based on the Zen 4 core architecture, dual CCD design, with 16 cores and 32 threads, but the TDP power consumption is only half of that of the desktop. The maximum acceleration frequency can reach 5.4GHz, and the PBO automatic overclocking function is supported, which can further release the performance. The brightest thing is the super-large cache. This processor has a level 3 cache capacity of 128MB, and the total amount of level 2 + level 3 cache is 144MB. The size of this cache is almost three times that of its competitors, and the design of pure large cores makes it strong in core performance, so the actual performance is worth looking forward to.

Since the Ruilong 9 7945HX3D is built for top game books, the performance of the set display is relatively sufficient for basic use, with a built-in set of Radeon 610m, based on the RDNA 2 architecture and 128stream processors.

The most powerful mobile terminal, GPU:NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 Laptop, is responsible for 3D computing. It is equipped with 9728 CUDA cores and 256bit 16GB GDDR6 display memory, which is currently the largest and fastest notebook GPU. The official preset TGP is 80-150W, but a maximum of 175W can be achieved through Dynamic Boost power balance technology. Thanks to the improvement of this generation of technology, this generation of mobile GPU can still retain most of the performance when the power consumption is reduced by half.

So what kind of heat dissipation module is used to suppress these two desktop cores? Then let's take a look at the machine next. When you open the back cover, you can see that ROG has made a set of glacier heat dissipation architecture 2.0 enhanced heat dissipation module tailor-made for its beauty and performance. The whole is composed of double fans and soaking plate, and the GPU uses the second generation of violent bear liquid gold for heat conduction. The process of liquid gold is very difficult, but its thermal conductivity is much stronger than that of traditional silicone grease. However, it is precisely like this, it is not recommended to disassemble and assemble by themselves.

Next we will test the grill to see what is the limit of Glacier cooling Architecture 2.0. First of all, single-baked CPU, we use AIDA64 single-roasted FPU for the baking machine. After 15 minutes of single baking, the power consumption of the processor is about 90W and the temperature is 88.6℃. This performance release is good, and we can see that the energy efficiency of the Zen 4 architecture is quite high.

Then we use FurMark doughnuts for single-baked GPU. Due to the blessing of DynamicBoost technology, the RTX 4090 can be stabilized at a full power consumption of about 175W and a temperature of only 70.7℃. It can be seen that the heat dissipation power of this machine is quite solid.

Next, we turn on the manual mode in Ultron Center, pull the fan full, and then bake CPU and GPU at the same time to simulate the maximum pressure. CPU is stable at about 58W, 76.6 ℃, GPU is stable at 175W, 67.1 ℃, a total of about 233W performance release, excellent performance, proper flagship game level.

In other hardware, the ROG 7 Plus super version is also full of materials. In terms of memory, two 16G DDR5 4800MHz memories are used, which is also very convenient for self-expansion. However, the Ruilong 9 7945HX3D supports memory up to DDR5-5200MHz, and only 4800MHz is used here. It is a bit of a pity that you can change it yourself if you pursue the top configuration.

In terms of hard disk, the built-in hard disk is 1T version of Hynix OEM hard drive, model PC801, belongs to PCIe4.0 high-end hard disk, the whole machine provides 2 M.2 hard disk bits, all support the high speed of PCIe4.0 * 4.

Although no one should take such a large laptop out to work, ROG still provides an oversized battery for 90Wh. Coupled with 100W PD charging support, it can also provide some convenience for emergency.

Theoretical performance next let's take a look at the theoretical achievements of this set of configurations. The following tests are all tested in the enhanced mode + solo output in the Ultron Center. In CineBench R20, which represents the theoretical performance of CPU, Ruilong 9 7945HX3D scored 758 points for single thread and 12904 points for multi-thread. This single-core performance is not the ultimate, but it is also the top, while multi-core performance is the absolute flagship. This is the charm of 16 cores and 32 threads.

In R23, with a score of 1954 points for single thread and 33147 points for multi-thread, we have to say that the mobile chip has developed so fast recently that we can experience the powerful performance of desktops on notebooks.

Next, take a look at the performance of the graphics card. The GPU running score reached 22442 in 3DMark Time Spy and 13944 in the light pursuit test 3DMark PortRoyal. This result is basically consistent with the desktop RTX 4070Ti and accords with the strength that the AD103 core should have on the notebook. For the next few years, the GPU will have no competition on laptops.

Memory performance is as follows, in line with the Zen 4 architecture Ruilong platform 4800MHz dual-channel memory performance, compared with the previous generation Zen 3 improved significantly.

The built-in hard drive is a high-performance Pcie 4.0 4 high-speed hard drive. In addition, there is an additional M.2 interface in the fuselage to meet the needs of storage expansion.

From the theoretical running score, we can see that the theoretical performance of ROG 7 Plus super version is absolutely the flagship of the first class. But in fact, the magical effect of 3D V-Cache technology can not be reflected by running points, and we have to see how well it actually performs in the game. So can its actual gaming experience be greatly improved? Let's test it now. All of the following games will be tested in 2K resolution + highest image quality + single display output mode, and with DLSS, we will drive to balanced DLSS. The DLSS 3 switch will also be turned on if it is supported by DLSS 3.

First of all, the game of e-sports, we selected "CS:GO", "Apex Legends", "PUBG" and "fearless contract" four mainstream e-sports games for testing. Due to the super version of the Plus 7 comes with 240Hz's ultra-high refresh rate screen, it will be especially advantageous if you can run more than 240frames in competitive games. In "CS:GO", the measured running BenchMark can run up to 541 frames at the highest picture quality, which can run all over this electronic competition screen. For comparison, the 4090 version of the Core i9-13980HX+RTX version of the Gunnery 7 Plus has 471 frames, and it seems that the Ruilong 9 7945HX3D's huge cache is even more significant for this high frame rate game.

PUBG can run to a full average of 284 frames at the highest picture quality of 2K. It can fully meet the ultra-high refresh rate of 240Hz screen.

In "Apex Legends", the highest picture quality of 2K can reach an average of about 289 frames, and you can easily run all over the video competition screen.

The game experience of "Dauntless contract", which is not very configured by itself, is even more excellent. It is measured that the average frame can reach 511 in the training ground, which really counts every minute.

It can be said that for all the mainstream e-sports games on the market, there is no problem running over 2K 240 frames. Then we will test some 3A games. In Tomb Raider: shadow, under the 2K maximum special effects, the number of frames is as high as 219 frames, so it is not a problem to play.

In "Control", after opening DLSS, it skyrocketed to 160frames, and the 3A game can also enjoy the number of frames at e-sports level.

Let's take a look at two 3A masterpieces that support DLSS 3 technology. Let's first take a look at the most stressful "Cyberpunk 2077", which runs its own BenchMark under the 2K highest quality super light, and the average number of frames can reach 96 frames without turning on DLSS 3, which is enough for fun.

However, when the DLSS 3 option is fully on, the number of frames can be increased by nearly 80%. And almost no loss of picture quality, to achieve a very high-quality video game frame number of fun.

The legendary 3A masterpiece "Wizard 3" has also been updated recently. According to the frame number test, the performance requirements are similar to those of cyberpunk, reaching an average of about 92 frames.

And under the DLSS 3 blessing, you can meet the smooth play of more than 140frame high frames, this furious performance is really amazing.

Productivity performance as mentioned earlier, thanks to the strong multicore performance of 16 cores and 32 threads and the P3 wide color gamut screen, ROG 7 Plus Super Edition can also be used in productivity scenarios such as video clipping, special effects and large-scale graphics. After our measurement, in the Adobe Premiere commonly used by creative workers, we turn on GPU Cuda acceleration, and then use PugetBenchmark to test it. The final score is 1170, which is fully capable of dealing with 4K video clips.

We also use PugetBenchmark to test Adobe Photoshop, another software commonly used in screen design. The final score is 1243, which makes it easy to deal with almost all the revision needs.

We also tested the BenchMark of some modeling rendering tools. In V-Ray Benchmark, Ruilong 9 7945HX3D scored 25793 points, more than 10% better than competitors' current most high-end mobile processors, and can easily cope with most modeling rendering needs.

In the test of another commonly used modeling tool, Blender, the performance is also very good, modeling rendering is completely out of the question.

Finally, we also tested the PCMark10 modern office test to show its comprehensive office performance. These stressful projects can be dealt with, not to mention this kind of daily office work. The measured score reached 8870, which makes it easy to cope with all desktop office scenarios.

To sum up, there is no doubt that the Ruilong 9 7945HX3D is currently the most powerful mobile game processor. Under the premise of ensuring the strong performance of 16 cores and 32 threads, AMD makes it have beyond the theoretical performance in the game through 3D V-Cache technology. Especially in the e-sports game with a high number of frames, the advantage of large cache will be particularly obvious. At present, the mainstream e-sports games on the market can meet more than 2K 240 frames.

The quality of ROG 7 Plus Super Edition itself is also very high. Thanks to the excellent screen and powerful RTX 4090 graphics card, ROG 7 Plus Super Edition can easily be competent for any game on the market, but also has a strong creative production capacity. If you have a good budget and are especially concerned about the frame number of e-sports games and 3A masterpieces, you can participate in the pre-sale of the ROG 7 Plus Super Edition as it hits the shelves.
