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

The light and thin book market in 2023 has an obvious feature, that is, the large-scale popularization of light and thin books. The low pressure and quasi-standard pressure light and thin books that were often seen last year are basically very rare. In the 4000 yuan price range, Intel's 13-generation Core i5-13500H and AMD's Ruilong 7-7840H are two common choices. So which of these two processors is stronger? Who is more suitable for the use of lightweight books?

In this article, CTOnews.com compares two high-selling lightweight versions, the Glory MagicBook X 16 Pro with i5-13500H and the Redmi Book Pro 15 2023 version with Ruilong 7-7840H, to see what their advantages and disadvantages are.

It is worth mentioning that the price of Glory MagicBook X 16 Pro is 4099 yuan, while the price of Redmi Book Pro 15 2023 sharp dragon version is 4999 yuan, the overall quality of the latter is definitely higher. What we compare more here is the chip performance and performance-to-price ratio, and give suggestions for purchase.

Hardware introduction next let's introduce the hardware specifications of Core i5-13500H. The architecture and performance of the 13th generation mobile core i5-13500H is not much better than that of the previous generation. The biggest upgrade is that it greatly optimizes the energy efficiency performance under low load, which is a great improvement for the battery life of light and thin books. I5-13500H still adopts hybrid architecture, which has 4 performance cores and 8 energy efficiency cores. Among them, the performance core supports hyperthreading technology, with a total of 12 cores and 16 threads, and the maximum frequency is also increased to 4.7GHz. 18MB's three-level cache and 45W benchmark power consumption are consistent with those of the previous generation.

Next, let's introduce the Rui long 7-7840H of AMD. The manufacturing process of Ruilong 7-7840H has been upgraded to TSMC 4nm, which is still 8 cores and 16 threads, the main frequency has been raised to 3.8GHz, and Rui frequency has been upgraded to 5.1GHz, 16MB of level 3 cache and 45W of TDP power consumption is consistent with that of the previous generation. The biggest highlight of the Ruilong 7-7840H is that its kernel display has been upgraded to 780m of AMD's latest RDNA3 architecture, and its performance has exceeded many entry-level unique features. It is worth mentioning that the sharp dragon 7-7840H is a special model for Chinese mainland, the overseas corresponding model is the sharp dragon 7-7840HS, the core parameters are exactly the same, only the name is different.

It is worth mentioning that Glory MagicBook X 16 Pro and Redmi Book Pro 15 2023 sharp dragon version of the memory configuration is also different. Although it is 16GB memory on board, Glory MagicBook X 16 Pro uses LPDDR4X, which is slightly less able to read and write.

Redmi Book Pro 15 2023 sharp dragon version is the use of LPDDR5 6400MHz's high-frequency memory, read and write ability is stronger, for kernel performance release is also more helpful. However, the memory controller performance of this generation of Ruilong 7000 series processors will be relatively weak, so the actual read and write will be lower than the core lightweight books of the same specification.

In general, Core i5-13500H has more cores due to mixed heterogeneous enhancements, while Ruilong 7-7840H, as a high-end processor, has higher frequency and newer processes brought about by high energy efficiency. Which is better or worse in the theoretical performance of the two CPU? Next, we will conduct a theoretical performance test.

As mentioned earlier, although the TDP of Core i5-13500H and Ruilong 7-7840H is 45W, the specific performance release depends on the actual heat dissipation performance of different machines. We first used AIDA64 to test the single-roasted FPU of Glory MagicBook X 16 Pro. After 15 minutes of single baking, the CPU stabilized at the standard 45W TDP, and the performance release was good in the lightweight book.

The performance release of the Redmi Book Pro 15 2023 version of the sharp dragon is stronger. After 15 minutes of single-baking FPU, CPU stabilized at 54W performance release.

Then let's compare the theoretical running scores. CTOnews.com tested CPU-Z and R20 and R23 for everyone. From the theoretical performance comparison chart below, we can see that the single-core performance of the two has been played back and forth, and the single-core performance of i5-13500H is a little stronger. The multi-core performance is that R7-7840H has a certain lead, which should be attributed to Rui long's pure large core architecture.

We take Ruilong 7-7840H as the 100% benchmark for tabulation, we can see that according to the algorithm of the running score software, the single core of i5-13500H is sometimes even with Ruilong 7-7840H, sometimes leading by about 20%. The multi-core performance is about 15% ahead of the Rui long 7-7840H, so it can be said that the two CPU have their own advantages.

In terms of nuclear display, the i5-13500H nuclear display is still the Xe nuclear display of 80EU, which is less than 10% higher than that of the previous generation.

The Radeon 780m kernel based on the latest RDNA3 architecture has a great advantage. In 3DMark Time Spy, the graphics card score reached 2866, an increase of about 15% compared with the previous generation, and reached some entry-level unique levels.

The running score of productivity comparison theory does not speak for itself. As a light and thin book, we should mainly pay attention to its performance in productivity software. CTOnews.com has also tested some productivity running software for you. First of all, the software CrossMark, which represents comprehensive office performance, scored 1766 on the i5-13500H Honor MagicBook X 16 Pro.

And Redmi Book Pro 15 2023 sharp dragon version here will be inferior, the score is about 1722 points, it can be said that the two lightweight books are basically at the same level, can meet all mild office needs.

PS image revision is the demand of many business users. In PugetBench For Ps, i5-13500H scored 1023 points, while Ruilong 7-7840H scored 893 points. In this project, the advantage of Core processor is quite obvious. This shows that strong single-core performance and more compatible kernel display acceleration are very helpful to PS.

In another commonly used video editing software, Premiere, we used PugetBench For Pr to test, and the i5-13500H still had a big lead, with a score of 848 points, compared with 642 points for the Ruilong 7-7840H. The reason for this is that although the performance of AMD kernel display is powerful, the ability of video codec has always been a deficiency. The Intel Xe core is more powerful in the video, which is more conducive to video creation.

Judging from our above tests, both lightweight books can smoothly cope with heavy text office and some light content production work. However, thanks to the stronger codec ability of Intel, the creative production and integrated office software we tested above is slightly better than Core i5-13500H, and this ecological barrier is still difficult to shake for the time being.

AIGC artificial Intelligence 2023 is the year of the outbreak of artificial intelligence technology, and AIGC (generative artificial Intelligence) has been widely used. So we also tested the AI performance of these two processors. We use Master Lu's AI special test for comparison, and the measured i5-13500H AI performance score is 17322. Thanks to the intervention of Xe, the 13-generation core has excellent local super-resolution and face recognition capabilities.

The main advantage of Ruilong 7-7840H is that its reading comprehension is particularly strong, but the ability to deal with images is relatively poor, because the 780m kernel display does not have AI function, so the total score is not as good as the i5-13500H with Xe kernel display, and the final score is 12361.

Reflected in the actual use, carrying 12, 13 generations of core lightweight book is also able to run some of the local model. Intel has built a BigDL-LLM library to enable the 12th and 13th generation core platforms to run a variety of large language models and provide a smooth experience. Through this library, you can optimize and support a variety of large language models, including some open source large language models that can run locally. The library can even run a large language model with up to 16B parameters on an Intel lightweight machine with 16GB memory. In addition, many large language models such as LLaMA / LLaMA2, ChatGLM / ChatGLM2 and so on are supported.

In our tests, even the i5 lightweight version with 16 GB of memory can run this large language model, and the response time is very fast. The author first tried to ask him some worldly questions, although the answer is not on the point, but the language is still very logical, the response speed is also very fast. Such a question only takes 664ms to complete the response. It can be said that in the AI world, the layout of Intel is quite fast and is now at a highly available level.

To sum up, from our test today, it can be said that the two notebooks have their own advantages. The Redmi Book Pro 15 2023 Ruilong version has a better screen, longer battery life and stronger nuclear display, while Glory MagicBook X 16 Pro has a better performance in the field of creative production. The author believes that there is no absolute difference between good and bad. If you have a demand for games and audio-visual entertainment, then the 4999 yuan Redmi Book Pro 15 2023 Ruilong version is really a good choice.

The advantage of Glory MagicBook X 16 Pro is that stronger single-core performance brings excellent office response speed. Xe shows strong codec ability, which makes it have more advantages in the creative production software of PR and PS. In addition, the layout of Intel in the AI field also allows 13-generation core processors to experience some AI applications ahead of time. If you want to have the above needs, or if your needs are only light office work, then the 4099 yuan Honor MagicBook X 16 Pro is undoubtedly a more cost-effective choice.
